Tinker Street executive chef Tyler Shortt leaving after 10 years

One of Indianapolis' most acclaimed restaurants is set for a shakeup as longtime Tinker Street executive chef Tyler Shortt prepares to exit the Near Northside fine dining spot at the end of this week. Shortt, who joined the Tinker Street staff in 2016 as a line cook under then-executive chef Braedon Kellner, took over the executive chef role shortly before the pandemic. During his tenure, Tinker Street was named one of USA TODAY's Restaurants of the Year in 2024. Last year, Tinker Street and sister restaurant Freeland's, in Carmel, landed owner Tom Main a James Beard Award Semifinalist nod in the Outstanding Restaurateur category. More: This Indianapolis restaurant was named among the best in US. Everything to try when you go "What a long, beautiful ride it has been," Shortt wrote in a statement posted to social media. "I have experienced and learned so much professionally and personally along the way. I have been blessed to work at such a special place for so long." While attempts to contact Shortt for comment were unsuccessful, Main said the chef's departure is due in part to his changing demands and priorities as a new father.

Walk Into Bread Basket Cafe In Danville And You’ll Smell Fresh Pie Before You Sit

Some towns are known for a courthouse, and some are known for a pie case. Danville, Indiana, quietly manages both. Just off the town square sits an old house that has become a weekday ritual for breakfast lovers, lunch crowds, and anyone who believes dessert deserves its own planning session. The kitchen bakes its own bread, the porch fills up when the weather allows, and the pie selection draws people who drive a long way just for a slice.
