Table Talk • November 5, 2026

The Old Fort Cluster held in Fort Wayne, Indiana has always had a special place in my heart. The cluster is a short drive-up Route 30 for me, and the Coliseum is a great venue for a dog show. Like other clusters, the numbers are down a bit, but the clubs work hard to make the shows a great experience for exhibitors. The Sussex Spaniel Club of America held its National Specialty there on Friday this year. It was a special treat to see so many dogs from a very low entry breed in one place. Congratulations to the Sussex community for a quality entry and hosting a lovely specialty!

Since 1916, Indiana Hot Dog Fans Have Squeezed Into The Tiny Booths At Powers Hamburgers In Fort Wayne

Some restaurants grow bigger every decade. One little Fort Wayne spot did the opposite and simply stayed small, stubborn, and busy. The griddle is tiny, the seating is tighter than a family road trip, and the line still stretches out the door on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Generations of Indiana families have crowded around the same counter for hot dogs and pint-sized hamburgers, and plenty of them now bring their own kids.
