Fried Chicken Served Family-Style Has Kept Gnaw Bone’s Neighbor, The Story Inn, Busy For Generations

Some places in Indiana move fast, and some refuse to move at all. Down a winding stretch of road in Brown County, there is a tiny village where the newest building is older than most family trees. It has no stoplight and barely any cell signal, yet people keep making...

Enjoy a bit of Spain in Huntingburg’s newest restaurant

Marlen Lorente has craved opening a restaurant in Dubois County ever since arriving here about ten years ago. She had worked in the restaurant industry in Spain for many years before emigrating to the United States, and she was sure the country’s cuisine would be a welcome addition to the area. But when she told her two daughters, Iglaidis and Gema, that they should open a Spanish restaurant, the pair weren’t having it.

Indiana Diners Keep Visiting The State’s Last Location Of A Once-Massive Restaurant Chain

Bus drivers eat free here when they bring a group of 15 or more. That tells you plenty about the kind of crowd this buffet expects to feed. This restaurant is the last of its famous chain still standing in Indiana. At its late-1980s peak, the brand ran hundreds of locations and ranked among the largest steakhouse chains around.

The Absolute Best Dinner in Bloomington

Bloomington has a dinner problem: too many options, too little time. You could blow a paycheck at The Elm, then follow it with a $9 lamb shank at Layali Feast, where the owner treats strangers like cousins. I checked the bacon at Southern Stone, the anchovies at Max’s Place, and...

For Nearly A Century, This Old-School Indiana Burger Joint Has Served Double Cheeseburgers From A Menu That’s Barely Changed

Some burger joints chase trends every few years. This one has hardly budged since the Great Depression. The beef gets ground fresh every day, then smashed thin on a hot flat top. Onions sizzle right into the patty. Could anything smell better on a cold Indiana afternoon? The building is...

Editor’s Notebook: A musical welcome to Bloomington, in the key of 20 mph

Bloomington has budgeted $125,000 for public art at the Miller-Showers Park gateway. In case the decision makers need another two cents: Don’t put the art next to the road. Put it right in the pavement. If a piece of visual art is spectacular, in all the ways public art...

The Origin Of Texas Roadhouse Is Not At All Where We Thought

In 1993, the first Texas Roadhouse popped up in Clarksville, Indiana. As Beyonce might say, "This ain't Texas." Entrepreneur Kent Taylor made a strategic branding move when he established a restaurant that welcomed families and served steaks, ribs, and homemade sides at affordable prices. After securing investment, Taylor set to work creating an environment different from other contemporary restaurants. With wooden details and rustic decorations, the place felt like Texas. Country music played in the background as meals were gulped down and line dancing took place. Even the restaurant's mascot, an armadillo, hails from the Lone Star State.

The Green Fruit Indiana Homeowners Put In Basements Every Fall

Every October, something odd shows up in Indiana garages and basement corners. It is round, bumpy, and greener than a tennis ball that lost a fight. Neighbors hand them out like party favors, usually in grocery sacks or the bed of a pickup. Nobody charges much money for them, and nobody quite agrees on why they work.
