Spring Forward MARCH IS SOM ET H I NG of a gateway month, creating a bridge from the damp, bone-chilling cold of winter to (hopefully) warmer spring weather in April and May. While we may still be dodging potholes—we’ll talk more about that next month—we also see nature starting to come back to life, with grass turning from brown to green, trees sprouting buds, and perennials poking through mulch and soil. Within a 10-day span, we’ll observe the start of daylight saving time, St. Patrick’s Day (p. 13), and the official beginning of spring, all good reasons to propose a toast to sunnier days ahead.

For baseball fans, March signals a return to the diamond and the start of the 2024 professional season. Sports writer Bob Kravitz takes a nostalgic look back at his love of the game (p. 58) and looks forward to keeping his eye on the ball again.

This month might also be the perfect time to spirit away to a local or regional distillery or try a new concoction. Our cover package (p. 36) profiles 10 Indy-area distillers of whiskey, bourbon, gin, rum, and rye, among other varieties of liquor, and maps the way to more than a dozen statewide spots to sample Hoosier-made spirits. If you prefer to unpack the patio furniture early and imbibe at home, we provide some tasting tips, as well as a recipe for a signature cocktail that pairs well with brunch.

While we’re raising our glasses, I’d like to salute our longtime contributor Philip Gulley, whose “Back Home Again” column (p. 136) is closing out in this issue. I’ve had very mixed feelings about changing the format of our back page, but the timing feels right with a new season upon us. We have enjoyed Gulley’s musings and observations for the better part of two decades, and we wish him all the best in his next chapter.

His favorite meal is an American classic: a cheeseburger and fries. At home, he makes his own version and has crafted what he calls the perfect recipe. This month’s Restaurant Guide (p. 126) addition, The Burger Joint, caught his eye and has given him a new spot to try.

An award-winning art director and former design director of Indianapolis Monthly, Todd has called Indy home for a decade. This month he brings his skills to our distilleries cover story (p. 36). In developing the design, he kept in mind that whiskey, more than any other spirit, has its own visual aesthetic and culture—a sensibility he tried to capture in the layout and typography while adding his own twist.

RENDERINGS BY RATIO DESIGN/COURTESY INDIANA CONVENTION CENTER & LUCAS OIL STADIUM

Conventional Wisdom The city recently broke ground on the sixth expansion of the Indiana Convention Center, which will add a massive new hotel and almost 150,000 square feet to the giant complex.

Is it enough to hold off the pack of challengers yearning for a slice of Indy’s booming convention traffic?

( SPEED READ CON T I NUE D ) THE ADDITIONS WILL TAKE UP MOST OF A CITY BLOCK. In the summer of 2026 a new, four-story meeting and ballroom area will debut, along with a new hotel, the Signia by Hilton. Standing 40 stories tall and boasting 800 rooms, it will be the city’s tallest hostelry. All of this convention-y goodness will be plunked down on the former Pan American Plaza site. Its two ice rinks (leftovers from the 1987 Pan American Games) have already been demolished.

However, the nearby 12-story Pan Am Tower gets to stay. For now.

POSH NEW AMENITIES ARE ON TAP. The

Signia hotel will have a luxury spa within the convention center expansion, meaning conventioneers with sore feet or aching backs will be able to walk, via skyway, straight into the spa to get some bodywork. Guests staying at the hotel can kick back in a rooftop pool, as well.

THE JW MARRIOTT MAY HAVE SOME COMPETITION. Though a decision hasn’t been made yet, there is an option for the Signia to have windows that can be outfitted with decals touting big events, just like the Marriott. “You could have the JW Marriott with one message and image and the Signia with another message and image,” says Chris Gahl, Visit Indy’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer. They could complement each other … or compete.

A rendering of the future Signia hotel and the Pan Am Tower, looking east from the convention center.

A drawn-out struggle to purchase the parking garage beneath the block snarled plans, as did the pandemic.

Financing hurdles hit next. Since no one else would put up the funds, the city of Indianapolis stepped in and financed the project via the sale of $581 million in development bonds.

CONNECTIVITY WILL EARN INDY BONUS

Including Lucas Oil Stadium, the convention center complex offers 749,600 square feet of usable space under one roof. The new additions will add another 148,000 square feet.

Though it’s approaching 1 million square feet in size, it will still sit in the shadows of the country’s elite convention facilities. For instance, Chicago’s McCormick Place covers 2.6 million square feet, and Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center covers 7 million square feet.

POINTS IN WINTER. Signia’s debut will raise the number of hotel rooms connected to the convention center via skyways from the current 4,700 to 5,500, more than any other convention center in the country. Not having to step outside to go from hotel to convention is a boon during colder months. “One of Indy’s biggest selling points for attracting conventions and other events is our connectivity, so the more connected hotel rooms and other amenities we can offer, the more likely we are to win events,” says Indiana Convention Center & Lucas Oil Stadium’s capital improvement board executive director Andy Mallon. “We love stealing events from Chicago.”

FIRST UPGRADE, BUT IT’S BEEN THE MOST DIFFICULT. “We started advocating for this expansion in 2014,” shares Gahl.

12

IM | MARCH 2024

LANDED NEW BUSINESS. Convention planners are booking all the way into 2038, believe it or not. Indianapolis has leveraged the promise of the new facilities to nab, among others, the American Dental Association gathering, which will pull in around 21,000 dentists in 2026.

IT’S ALL TO GAIN A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.

Big conventions bring in big money, so to entice event organizers, cities across the country have been piling on amenities for convention-goers.

Gahl figures this revamp will help Indianapolis retain about $3 billion in business that might otherwise have gone to Las Vegas, Orlando, or Dallas.

IT’S GOING TO BE BIG. REALLY BIG.

THIS ISN’T THE CONVENTION CENTER’S

THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS HAVE ALREADY

THIS WON’T BE THE LAST, EITHER. To stay competitive, upgrades are a fact of life.

“In the next decade, Visit Indy will inevitably have to start the conversation on the seventh expansion,” Gahl says.

THE CITY’S NEED FOR CONVENTION DOLLARS MAY BE UNLIMITED, BUT SPACE IS NOT. No vacant lots sit adjacent to the convention center, so expansion will be even trickier in the future. Tunnels could span railroad tracks south of the facility, accessing additional usable space, and there’s always the chunk of real estate the Pan Am Tower sits on.

A LITTLE MEANS A LOT. Indianapolis routinely hosts gatherings of about 75,000 attendees right now, and the expansion will raise that to 100,000.

This gives the city the ability to host 82 percent of the top 250 trade shows in the U.S., as opposed to 78 percent today.

That may not sound like much, but it’s actually a tipping point in our favor, Gahl explains. “In that 4 percent, we gain the ability to attract bigger, more lucrative conventions.” — S A M S TA L L

Q: INDIANAPOLIS PUTS ON A GINORMOUS ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE EVERY YEAR, BUT THE CITY DOESN’T SEEM AT ALL “IRISH.” HOW’D THAT HAPPEN? A: While around 11 percent of Indy residents claim Irish blood (making it the city’s second-biggest ethnic ancestry, after German), they’ve been here so long that they’re as homogenized as store-brand milk. Emerald Isle denizens poured in during the 1800s, soon comprising 31 percent of the foreignborn population. Irish neighborhoods (like Fountain Square), churches, social clubs, and pubs abounded. Unsurprisingly, they began throwing a parade. It was far more alcohol-intensive than the version we know, which took on its current incarnation around 1980. As Irish immigration to Indianapolis petered out during the latter half of the 20th century, the Irish neighborhoods lost their character as the residents moved to the suburbs. But for those who pine for fields of heather, the parade still beckons. — S A M S TA L L

PHOTO COURTESY DANIEL PRAKOPCYK

You were an officer with the Carmel Police Department for ASK ME almost five years. How ANYTHING did you decide to try acting? When I was a kid, I always wanted to act, but I never thought professional acting was possible for me. [I thought] I needed to have a stable job. So I worked as a police officer. But then I thought, While I’m somewhat young, I should at least attempt to do the thing I really want to do. If it didn’t work out, I figured I could always go to school or get into federal law enforcement.

I did plays locally, took classes at the Indiana Repertory Theatre, and found Indy Actors Academy. It’s part of the Indiana Filmmakers Network, where I learned about local productions and how to get cast in local films. I started building up a demo reel featuring clips from the projects I worked on. With that, I was able to get an agent, and I left for Los Angeles.

come out to LA if I didn’t have them in my corner cheering for me.

You’ve done a lot of sci fi and superhero work, including The Mandalorian, The Walking Dead, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Black Lightning, Westworld, and the movie Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Did you aim to break into these genres? I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons like X-Men and Spider-Man, so I’ve always had a place in my heart for superhero culture. But sci fi is not my thing.

When characters go into space, I’m lost. I don’t know what’s going on! It might be a sort of typecasting because in sci fi they tend to veer toward an androgynous look or a tough, edgy look. But it wasn’t on purpose. It just happened by accident.

Is it tough to act opposite a puppet or in front of a giant green screen to which the special effects will be added later? The Mandalorian was a gift because so many of the creatures aren’t digital but [are] actual physical puppets, so a lot of the time, I’m talking to something whose lips are moving, their eyes are blinking, and their body is shifting. It’s incredible what they’re able to do. But acting in front of a green screen, on the other hand, is really, really difficult. You’re looking out into the distance and pretending a bunch of spaceships are coming at you, and you’re supposed to be afraid. It’s a struggle for the director to make sure all the actors are looking in the same direction.

It sounds a bit like traditional theater, where you might have a table and chair onstage but have to pretend it’s the Las Vegas Hilton. I think that’s kind of how you have to see it. I’ve found that the big difference between theater and films is how much more preparation you get for a stage production. In something like the Ant-Man movie, we’d get maybe two run-throughs to practice a scene, and that’s our entire rehearsal, so in 20 minutes or so, we have to collectively decide where the monster’s coming from, how big it is, and how close it is.

Whereas in the theater, you have a lot more time during rehearsals to decide such things. But I don’t want to say

“I LOVE THE CHALLENGE, AND THE EMOTIONAL CATHARSIS, AND THE BEAUTY OF ACTING IN A FILM LIKE LOVE LIES BLEEDING. YOU GET TO CREATE A HUMAN BEING. IT’S A DEEP DIVE INTO EXPLORING A CHARACTER AND FIGURING OUT HOW TO LINK WITH THEM.”

that film is more challenging. They’re just two different challenges.

dive into exploring a character and figuring out how to link with them.

Were you nervous about working on a big-budget project like Ant-Man? I’d already done The Mandalorian, where the sets were pretty much just as big, and I’d worked with huge names like Pedro Pascal. Jon Favreau was on set every day, and Carl Weathers directed an episode I was in, so I got to meet all these incredible actors and work with amazing directors. I really did feel prepared, and I felt like they made it as easy of a transition as they possibly could.

You auditioned six times for Love Lies Bleeding. Why, and how did that feel? It was really weird. The first audition was a tape, and then I got an in-person callback, which is normal. Then I had a “chemistry read,” which completely makes sense in an intimate film like this to make sure you and the other actor have chemistry. So, all of that was expected. But then there was another one, and I was like, “What’s going on?” Then they had me work with an acting coach. And then another one, which was by Zoom. And I was like, “You can see what I can do. If it’s not working, you have to find someone else, and that’s totally fine.”

Later, I got some behind-the-scenes information that they were trying to get someone else with a bigger name.

There’s lots of things that go into getting a part. Actors beat themselves up too much about it because they don’t know that it’s more than just their performance.

Where would you like to be in a decade? I don’t necessarily always want to be in the eighth season of a successful show. I would love to be in something fresh and watch it grow from start to finish. I would love to delve into comedy or maybe even martial arts comedy to give it a twist.

Does that mean you do your own stunts? Yes and no. I’ve worked with the same stuntperson for several years now. She gets the call if I have to jump out of a burning airplane. She’s ready for that! But if there’s a fight scene or something relatively simple, I’ll do it if I think I can pull it off without compromising the integrity of the film.

If I can make it look good, and it’s safe, then I love to have that opportunity.

What’s your favorite type of project?

I enjoy doing action movies because fitness and martial arts have always been a part of my life. But I also love the challenge, and the emotional catharsis, and the beauty of acting in a film like Love Lies Bleeding. You get to create a human being. It’s a deep

Do you ever get back to Indianapolis? I came back for Thanksgiving last year. My home base is now LA, but I’ve hardly ever filmed there or even get to spend much time there. Last year, over the course of three months, I went from New York, to New Zealand, to Rhode Island, then London, Indiana, and Oklahoma.

Anything you especially miss? My family. The doughnuts at Long’s Bakery. And cheaper haircuts. In LA, it’s around $200. I don’t want to go, so my hair is rarely on point.

caused him to murder his family.” Prior to his crimes, he’d been expelled from the church. He claimed he was then ostracized from his kin. “This trouble is all due to the Amish community I formerly lived with,” he said. The nationally covered trial introduced the public to Amish traditions. For example, after being expelled, Moser said he was prohibited from dining with his family or eating food cooked in the same vessels. The play’s title is a phrase Moser used.

“I think Mark and I both wanted to be a little scared,” says Ayres about his decision to use only a single actor. “A one-person historical drama about personal tragedy, religion, and murder which took place in Mark’s backyard— we knew it would be a marathon for both of us. But we also knew that theaters continue to struggle and that a low-tech, modest-budget one-hander might have an edge getting staged.”

The sole character played

by Goetzinger is a reporter

named Werner. “I wanted a character who could operate on many different levels in this world: an observer, a neighbor, an investigator, a salesman, a loner with his own hidden past, a storyteller on even ground with an audience,” Ayres explains.

“So, a fictional reporter seemed a good choice, someone who could live in the facts of the event but not be hemmed in by them. Then I needed to let this murder story be an activator for the character’s own pursuit while also reflecting on the reality of 1900—which I’m hoping will reflect on our reality today.”

Constance Macy, artistic director of the Phoenix, was predisposed to staging the play. “I promised myself that I would be an advocate for local artists and bust the myth that a worthy theater-maker must come from somewhere else. Every single play we will produce this season was written by a Hoosier playwright and performed

by Indy-based actors.”

Dark days And I Will Follow is hardly the only somber production being staged this season at the Phoenix. “I didn’t mean to produce only dark plays, but it makes sense because I’m a huge true crime fan. If I’m in my car, I’m listening to Crime Junkie,” shares Macy. Here are just some of the others.

Tazewell THE County, IlliTICKET nois, farmer Samuel Moser murdered his wife and their three children. One of Indianapolis’ leading actors, Mark Goetzinger, grew up near the scene of the crime.

Playwright Bennett Ayres and Goetzinger met decades ago at the Indiana Repertory Theatre. Later, Goetzinger starred in Ayres’ play Lanista, and the two were looking for another project. When Goetzinger mentioned the Moser case, which he calls “a strange mixture of religion, fanaticism, madness, and love,” Ayres saw stage potential. The result, And I Will Follow, premieres at the Phoenix on March 21.

Newspapers at the time were not shy about the gory details. “When his wife went into the cellar for provisions, he stole down stealthily behind her, and placing the revolver at her right temple sent a bullet crashing through her brain,” wrote a reporter for the Bloomington, Illinois, paper The Daily Pantagraph. The account gets more gruesome from there.

Moser was arrested in Utah and confessed—but not without a scapegoat. A headline in the Indianapolis News noted: “Moser says doctrine of the Amish church

WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM CHAIR

ARTIFACT

VINTAGE: 1962 Resides within the Indiana State Museum

IN JANUARY 1962, the Tell City Chair Company in Perry County was commissioned by the White House to produce 425 banquet chairs designed by Jackie Kennedy. The wooden, cane-seat chairs she came up with were entirely covered in high gloss gold paint and based on Colonial Revival, French, and Victorian influences. Though ballroom chairs had been used in the White House before, they had always been rented. The Tell City order was the White House’s first time purchasing them.

The gilded chairs, with cushions, were delivered to Mrs. Kennedy in mid-to-late September of that year at a cost of $12,156.25. This is the only one that still has its original gold paint.

IF THIS STIFF wooden action figure landed in a stocking today, the child receiving it might wonder what he or she had done wrong that year. But the original Superman toy, produced just one year after the character’s creation in the comic book series, is worth as much as $10,000. “It’s not just the first Superman toy,” says Allen Stewart, director of the Hall of Heroes Superhero Museum in Elkhart. “It’s the first superhero toy, period.”

Stewart began buying comic books and related memorabilia as a kid, and his massive collection—including this hand-painted plaything—became the foundation of the museum.

“This is one of only two on display in the world,” he says of the antique toy.

“The other is in the Super Museum in Metropolis, Illinois.”

Gregg building, the commodious, sleek Virginia Tile showroom is the first in Indiana. And you’ll find way more than the usual subway and marble looks. The brightly lit lobby introduces you to space after space of tiles crafted of natural stone, porcelain, glass, and traditional ceramic, as well as home design accoutrements, like vanity hardware pulls, from both American and European brands. Interior designers are on hand to help you sketch out your ideas.

You can also get help envisioning outdoor projects like Virginia Tile pool tiling and landscaping with stone and pavers.

And natural-textured and patterned tiles are having a moment. Their large-form porcelain panels have also proven popular. Allen is seeing them used in all different ways, including around fireplaces, as cabinet fronts, alongside staircases, and to create feature walls. “We’ve had people who were driving past stop in because they were intrigued and had to see what was inside. To watch their excitement and creativity bubble up as they explore is invigorating to me,” shares Allen.

Happy Trails THREE GREENWAYS OFFER THE MOST PLEASING SPRINGTIME NATURE JAUNTS TO BOOST YOUR HEALTH. BY C A M I L L E G R AV E S SPE NDI NG W E E KS

FAMILY PHOTO BY TONY VALAINIS. MYLA PHOTO COURTESY CAMILLE GRAVES

cooped up inside in the BODY bleak winter months +SOUL can take a toll, both mentally and physically. As spring ramps up, walking is a great way to restore health and relieve stress. According to Laura Graefnitz, owner of Lifetime Wellness in Zionsville, walking reduces risk of

heart attack and stroke, improves high blood pressure and high cholesterol, strengthens muscles and bones, and reduces overall body fat. Walking also increases dopamine levels, which can alleviate depression and anxiety symptoms, and improves sleep patterns, mood, brainpower, and alertness.

Getting outdoors with family and friends offers health perks, agrees

Zionsville-based health coach Dawn Parker. “Walking in nature brings the benefits of using all of your senses to experience life. The smell of the trees and clean air, the sound of birds and rustling leaves, and the beauty of the flowers and greenery,” she says.

Looking for local trails to ease into spring at your own leisurely pace?

Running roughly 11 miles from Riverside to the Fort Ben border, the Fall Creek Trail is notable for its picturesque views of both nature and historic man-made structures. Redbuds and wildlife, including blue herons, can be spotted in spring against the backdrop of attractive old homes and bridges.

The Vandalia Trail, composed of two separate segments spanning Hendricks and Putnam counties from Plainfield to Greencastle, goes through idyllic woods, farmland, and suburban neighborhoods. Overhanging trees and spring wildflowers hug the trail in many sections, making it perfect for birding and spotting butterflies.

In spring, it’s hard to beat downtown’s White River Promenade, a quiet passage tucked between the river and the zoo, flanked by stacked limestone blocks and bookended by wrought iron gates. Magnolia, redbud, and cherry blossom trees burst into full bloom along the path, the latter of which also blanket the slopes of the riverbank to the immediate south.

The weather was glorious, and I had an absolute blast.

This nonmotorized 150-mile rail trail starts (or ends) in Pittsburgh and winds through picturesque rolling terrain, through charming towns, and past remnants of the early industrial era of our country. Early in the ride, you pass old pump houses, coke ovens, and industrial coal patch towns. Later, you ride along the scenic Youghiogheny River and through verdant landscapes.

As a former railroad line, the crushed limestone path has ample width, a grade that never exceeds 3 percent, and gentle, sweeping bends. Stunning landmarks dot the route too, including broad waterfalls in the quaint town of Ohiopyle; the 3,294-foot-long Big Savage Tunnel; and the 101-foot-high, 1,908-feet-long Salisbury Viaduct. Be sure to take a side trip to Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural masterpiece and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Fallingwater (fallingwater.org), in Mill Run. If you’re a hardcore cyclist, you can hammer down on your own and let the miles fly past. If you prefer a slower, more structured experience, outfitters can support you along the way. Accommodations run the gamut from free hiker-biker shelters and campgrounds to comfortable bed-and-breakfasts with gourmet meals.

But take a short trip northeast, and you’ll find Catello’s— a comfy yet elegantly subtle affair located on the main street of idyllic Pendleton. Catello’s opened in 2016 and has brought people from near and far to experience its fresh-made pasta, house-baked desserts, and famous fettuccine Alfredo sauced in a giant flaming wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano.

THE FEED

Dionne Butler brings back his family’s beloved pizza to The Amp. Dionne Butler says when he started toying with the idea of reopening his parents’ much-missed westside pizza chain, Butler’s Pizza, he had to accept that pizza is in his DNA. “I grew up on pizza in that restaurant.

When I broke the news to my mom and dad, they were so happy,” he says.

Choosing The Amp food hall as the site of the pizzeria wasn’t a hard decision. “It’s been a great experience from start to finish,” Butler says as he walks between the shipping container food stalls. What makes Butler’s Pizza so special that fans are lining up? It could be the Grippo’s chips and Faygo.

It could be the friendly service. It’s likely those, plus the family’s well-guarded sauce recipe. Dionne says he’ll answer any questions about reviving Butler’s Pizza, but he will keep that secret to himself. 1220 Waterway Blvd., 317-600-5463, butlerpizza.com — T . V .

CUYLOR REEVES BRINGS YEARS OF BAKING EXPERIENCE AND A SOUTHERN SENSIBILITY TO HIS PASTRY OPERATION, BAKE SALE INDY. BY T E R RY K I RT S A CARE E R in politics may have been the plan for Mississippi FOODIE State alum Cuylor Reeves. But after a short stint at a nonprofit in Washington, D.C., the native of Meridian, Mississippi, longed to trade the divisiveness he saw in the nation’s capital for something that never failed to bring people together: food. Returning home, Reeves got a dishwashing job, thinking he would work himself up to line cook or chef. The jobs, however, kept driving him toward the sweet stuff. Moving to New Orleans, he found gigs at the storied Restaurant August, Compère Lapin, and La Boulangerie, where he made a full range of sourdough styles, as well as artful laminated pastries. Later, while working in the production bakery for Link Restaurant Group, he dove into a wide range of breads and pastries at

once, creating everything from pies and cakes to biscuits and dinner rolls.

“I learned two or three years’ worth of baking knowledge for every year that I worked there,” Reeves says.

For the last three years, Reeves has been putting that know-how into his own operation, Bake Sale Indy.

Twice-baked croissants with homemade pecan frangipane, savory collard green–pesto morning buns, and Mardi Gras king cakes are just some of the Southern treats Reeves cranks out, as well as his earthy sourdough loaves and crisp baguettes. Later this spring, Reeves hopes to open his own retail shop at 62nd Street and Allisonville Road. In a sense, baking is Reeves’ way of bridging divides and helping people to live harmoniously. “It’s important to sit down at a table and break bread with the people in your community,” Reeves says, “even if you don’t agree on everything.”

SCOTT AND NYLA WOLF BRING SWEET SENTIMENTALITY TO NEW STEAKHOUSE SPEAKEASY.

BE FORE T H EY had five “northern woods–inspired” grills, three speakeasyREVIEW style cocktail lounges, a neighborhood trattoria, and, for good measure, a college-town sports bar, avid travelers and self-proclaimed foodies Nyla and Scott Wolf were just getting their feet under them in the restaurant business. This was the early days of the locavore movement in the 1990s, and Nyla wanted to start a farmers market to offer fresh produce, plants, Christmas trees, and, eventually, a few morning food offerings. So, the couple opened Hillsdale Farmers Market. They followed this up with 34

the self-named Nyla’s Market and Cafe, located in a onetime gas station in Noblesville, where they served breakfast and homey lunch sandwiches. Both Hillsdale and the original Nyla’s closed in 2004, but the earlier Nyla’s menu comes as a novelty postcard with your bill at the Wolfs’ newest effort— also called Nyla’s. The cute parting gift also arrives with a note of clarification from the staff: You can’t order a Round Up Club or a chicken salad plate anymore.

That’s because the new Nyla’s represents just how far the Wolfs have come in their appreciation of food in the two decades since the original cafe closed. And, perhaps more tellingly, it represents the maturing culinary

tastes of their clientele. The Wolfs first branched out from familyfriendly fare when they opened The Italian House on Park Street, the secluded, unofficial restaurant row of Old Town Westfield, in 2017.

Nyla’s, which made its debut in antique dealer Bob Beauchamp’s meticulously restored red barn next door to The Italian House last spring, raises the stakes. “We wanted a bigger language for our food,” says the Wolfs’ son Alec. “We needed a place to showcase our family’s true passion.”

Expanding their menu meant flying Honduran-born chef Esli Alfaro to Naples, Florida, one of the Wolfs’ frequent vacation stops, as well as having him stop in at classic steakhouses in Chicago and Louisville to try some of the family’s favorite dishes as the restaurant’s concept was coming together. Alfaro and fellow chef Sarah Sinclair, both borrowed from the kitchen at The Italian House, drew on the Wolfs’ tastes for their chophouse menu with a Southern accent, best expressed in perfectly crunchy, tender, cornmeal-crusted oysters with a lush red pepper remoulade. Other hits among starters include deviled eggs that come with both bits of candied bacon and whole slices of thick-cut bacon on top, a decadent touch that risks spoiling your dinner. And while a plate of tender filet tips with crostini and crisp pickled onions makes a nice light supper on its own, the accompanying fondue has a slightly muted punch of Gorgonzola.

All these dolled-up rustic plates feel utterly at home in one of the coziest, old-meets-new dining rooms you’ll find in the modern sprawl of Indy’s suburban north side. Just approaching Nyla’s from the outside, with its spot set back from the shady street and its strands of twinkling lights, will take you to earlier times. With several other dining options on the block—not to mention the Wolfs’ next venture, a cocktail and cold plate spot called The Swanky Mule, opening this month in a former flower shop on the street—parking can be scarce.

So, too, are reservations at the 60-seat eatery. Despite its size, Nyla’s will charm

you. The small but well-stocked bar just inside the door shakes up especially balanced and restrained cocktails, including a smooth rum old fashioned and a not-too-bracing espresso martini.

Alfaro and Sinclair put together artful entrees out of the palette of ingredients they’re working with in the adjacent kitchen, which was previously ice cream shop Cone + Crumb and is now connected via a breezeway. Well-seasoned, juicy fried chicken pairs with creamy gravy

and horseradish-scented mashed potatoes. A trio of double-bone lamp chops are succulent and meaty, and while steaks live up to the Wolfs’ standards from other cities, a thick-cut bone-in pork chop lavished with bacon jam may outscore the beef. Don’t leave without a slice of the signature chocolate cake with strawberry sauce and ice cream, a sweet finish you might not need but that will let you lounge for a while longer as you drink in more of the atmosphere.

KINDRED SPIRITS A toast to brown drinks, boutique moonshine, and Indiana’s budding relationship with small-batch distilling.

It has been a little over a decade since Indiana distillers were first legally allowed to sell their firewater directly to customers—our own little version of Repeal Day. In that time, craft distillers have installed statuesque stills, experimented with local grains, perfected recipes, and aged their offerings deliciously. Let’s roll out the barrels.

V E RY DROP of liquor produced at this Sheridan distillery comes from a 500-liter copper still made in Portugal called Stilla.

Hunt Club’s self-described “president, distiller, and toilet cleaner” Mark Schilling—for whom distilling is a family legacy—is currently in the market for a second still to keep up with demand.

Schilling’s grandfather made bathtub gin during Prohibition. Asked if that’s the same gin recipe he uses today, the Zionsville resident just laughs. “It was simply not palatable,” he says. In fact, it took two-and-a-half years of tinkering to find a recipe he did like, and the result is a smooth-drinking 94-proof spirit. (He also offers a 151proof gin that has much more of a kick.)

Schilling uses recycled barrels from Woodford Reserve and Jack Daniels to age his 88-proof bourbon, while the corn used to make it is entirely raised within a 45-mile radius of Sheridan. Wanting to use Indiana-based ingredients for as many of his spirits as possible, Schilling forgoes using sugarcane for his rum, opting for sorghum molasses produced by a neighboring Amish community. Juniper for the gin is grown on-site and at his nearby home— and sometimes harvested from trees shading local chain restaurants.

The tasting room is a happening place on warmweather weekends, thrumming with bands, food trucks, and the occasional wedding. The facility is located about half a mile from the Monon Greenway end point, making it a great stopover for bicyclists enjoying a day on the trail.

HOURS Tue, Thu 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Fri–Sat 10 a.m.–10 p.m., Sun 9 a.m.–4 p.m.

Love at First Sip To truly appreciate your drink, follow these simple tips recommended by the pros.

Hold the sample to the light. With bourbon, the darker the caramel coloring, the longer it’s been aged.

Look for any impurities floating around a clear spirit.

Swirl the spirit in the glass to see if the legs cling to the side. If the droplets or rivulets of liquid stick for more than 15 seconds, you know you’re drinking a premium spirit.

When taking your first sip, swirl the spirit in your mouth for 10 seconds before swallowing. By taking your time, you can pick up some of the more subtle flavors of the spirit. A good spirit will have some heat but won’t have a harsh burn as it slips down your throat.

Take a little time between your taste tests. Drink some water and swish it around in your mouth. The goal is to have a nice, clean palate for the next sample.

HOTEL TANGO OM BAT V ET E RAN Travis Barnes applies the discipline he learned in the Marines to distilling at the Fletcher Place operation he established in 2013. Nods to his proud military service are everywhere, from the phonetic name—the H in Hotel is for his wife, Hilary; the T in Tango represents Travis—to the canteen-inspired product packaging and the distillery’s dedication to crafting exceptional spirits. Grab a seat by the stone fireplace in the 21+ tasting room to sample the wares, and you might just think you’ve died and gone to a ski lodge in Colorado.

Using Midwest-sourced grains, Hotel Tango turned out 1,275 barrels in 2023 to form the basis of a tasty portfolio that covers bourbon, rye, vodka, gin, lemoncello, and cherry liqueur. The top-selling flagship bourbon has earned plenty of accolades and a 94 rating from Wine Enthusiast, but the ’Shmallow Toasted Marshmallow Bourbon, with chocolate and smoky campfire notes, is the bottle that’s making customers sit up and take notice right now. The production team loves to play around; look for experiments such as a port barrel– finished rye to make appearances on shelves or at the tasting room every now and then. “We plan to continue innovating products that our consumers 702 Virginia Ave., want and creating fun, new partnerships that 317-653-1806, help support our veteran community,” Barnes hoteltango says.

8th day DISTILLERY ET T I NG A DIST I LLE RY up and running while also working full-time jobs made husband-and-wife team Matt and Jaime Lamping yearn for an extra day in the week. Craving a change of pace from corporate life, the pair decided to explore their entrepreneurial side by dedicating themselves to founding 8th Day Distillery in 2015. Tucked into a cozy nook in the hulking Circle City Industrial Complex off the northeast spur of Mass Ave, the operation welcomes guests in to enjoy its laidback urban vibe with workshops, classes, tours, and a 21+ tasting room.

Servers sling samples of the signature products and offer a menu of house cocktails and mocktails.

The Lampings rely on grains from a Lebanon farm to fill about 1,000 barrels a year with full-flavored spirits like rum, gin (both standard and Navy Strength), bourbon, and rye. Absinthe and canned cocktails are also available if that’s how you roll. Gearing up to celebrate its 9th birthday in June, 8th Day plans to keep the party going all year with a schedule of burlesque shows, private dinners, collabs with local businesses, and special releases. “2023 was the year of growth,” Jaime says. “2024 is the year of opportunity to elevate 8th Day.” HOURS Thu 4–9 p.m., Fri 4–11 p.m., Sat 2–11 p.m., Sun 1–6 p.m. (Hours change seasonally.)

IM | MARCH 2024

RO T H E RS BLAK E and

Julian Jones teamed up with their childhood friend Dave McIntyre to lay the groundwork for their bourbonfocused startup distillery in northwest Indy’s Park 100 warehouse complex back in 2012, following it up with a Kennedy-King tasting room in 2017. Let’s just say things have gone well since. A $10 million, 33,000-square-foot destination showplace—one of the largest agritourism visitor experiences in the Midwest—joined the family in 2022 across from Grand Park in Westfield to facilitate production and increase storage capacity. When the location ultimately gets up to full speed, the owners expect to be turning out as many as 5,000 barrels a year. In addition to offering a barrel thieving experience at the Westfield location, the farm-to-table Mash House accommodates familyfriendly dining, and the adults-only Stave Cocktail Lounge makes a swanky spot for sampling the wares via glass, cocktail, or bourbon flight.

West Fork sources grains from Sugar Creek Malt in nearby Lebanon to inform distinctive mash bills for its High Corn, Wheated, High Rye, House, and Rye products, and the owners have made it their mission to resurrect the pre-Prohibition Old Hamer bourbon line, a delightful boon for true Indiana whiskey historians.

OAKLEY BROTHERS DISTILLERY

34 W. 8th St., Anderson, 765-400-0050, oakleybrothers distillery.online

E CAUSE T H EY were born in Kentucky, it’s only natural that brothers Jerrad and Jason Oakley bring their own innate Bourbon Country sensibilities to the Anderson-based distillery they’ve operated since 2018. The roots of the business stretch back further than that, though.

After several years of dabbling in beer, wine, and moonshine on a strictly for-hobby basis, the duo decided to go legit during a hiking trip to Machu Picchu. Finding a home for their venture in a 100-year-old building that once housed a Studebaker dealership, the family preserved as many architectural details and original materials as possible during an extensive top-to-bottom renovation. The resulting character-rich facility now houses production, an event space, a full kitchen churning out tasty gastropub fare, and a laidback bar where knowledgeable tenders work with an expansive selection of flagship and experimental bourbons, whiskeys, rums, vodkas, agave spirits, moonshine, and liqueurs. “We’ve found Indiana likes sweeter notes,” says Lisa Oakley, Jerrad’s wife. “The flavored options always sell, along with our Hell or Rye Water Bourbon and our Flyover Whiskey.” Free tastings on Friday and Saturday nights give thirsty customers the chance to try before they buy, and the team plans to revive distillery tours this year after a pandemic hiatus.

Although the bourbon currently for sale here has been outsourced from a corporate distillery in Southern Indiana, handcrafted whiskey offerings should be ready for public consumption later this year. In the meantime, the inventory of hard stuff includes gin, vodka, absinthe, and moonshine distilled on the premises—any of which can be sipped straight or as a base for one of the cocktails on the menu.

Staff members occasionally run into folks who spent time at the jail in the past, either as an employee or—ahem, guest. According to tasting room manager Shelly Rogers, one former inmate still resides there, only in another spirit form. “Doors close on their own. Signs move.

FOUR FINGER DISTILLERY ORM E RLY K NOW N as 1205 Distillery (named for the day Prohibition ended), this Indy business got its new name from head distiller Brad Colver’s unfortunate miter saw accident while rehabbing the former Virginia Avenue State Bank facility. He lost his pinkie finger but luckily not his sense of humor. The resulting Fletcher Place flagship is a gorgeous space boasting fancy flourishes like the chandeliers overhead, but it retains a casual feel. If you want more privacy, there’s a smaller area in the former safe-deposit vault just off the bar with some comfy seating and dim lighting.

Four Finger produces a variety of bourbons, gins, vodkas, and rums, as well as a rhubarb liqueur that’s a huge hit with customers. The peated bourbon is truly unique, made with 75-percent corn and 25-percent peated malt. Four Finger is also one of the few Hoosier distilleries that makes its own 120-proof absinthe with real wormwood. They even use a specialty absinthe fountain to create drinks for patrons. The menu lists seven classic cocktails, as well as a roster of specialty cocktails that changes seasonally. The old fashioned is so popular, Four Finger sells them premade in bottles. Four Finger owns a second tasting room in Westfield and is in the process of moving its distilling operations to a much larger facility in Lebanon but will retain its Fletcher Place and Westfield locations.

TRAVELERS POINT DISTILLERY EAD DIST I LLE R Mel Lytton wants to make one thing clear: “We make our own damn bourbon,” he says, “and that’s it.” While other local distilleries were producing gins and vodkas, Lytton was filling the Travelers Point rickhouse with more than 650 barrels of whiskey. Customers have been enjoying his 2-yearold bourbon. “Two-year-old bourbon isn’t supposed to be good, but I think ours is as good as anything out there,” says Lytton.

He’s excited for folks to try this spring’s release, a 4-year-old batch that he believes will be even better.

Lytton comes from a long lineage of distillers. His greatgrandfather was known for his peach brandy back in Virginia.

“We don’t have peaches here,” Lytton says, “so I make bourbon.” All of the grain is sourced within an 8-mile radius of the distillery. He even created an heirloom grain whiskey with four types of unique corn varieties, which is currently aging and not ready for sampling quite yet. Heritage runs through every aspect of Travelers Point. The facility is housed in an old Monon Railroad depot with minimal signage, so it can be hard to find. But it’s definitely worth the effort.

Having only recently opened its doors, Moon Drops’ first whiskeys for sale are blends from a large industrial distiller. About 400 barrels distilled in Fortville are currently aging in a rickhouse and should be released in the coming years. Those bourbons represent Moon Drops’ “farm-to-glass” concept; most of the ingredients are raised within 35 miles of the distillery. Head distiller Hank Pressley’s various flavors of moonshine— apple pie, lemon shake-up, peppermint, and orange dreamsicle—are perfect for sipping around a bonfire, while the vodka and rum are ideal for cocktails.

Call It a Night How to spend a weekend in the woods at Hard Truth Distilling Co., a true celebration of Southern Indiana’s whiskey tradition and rugged topography.

12 E. Cedar St., Zionsville, 317-873-4099, hopwood cellars.com

WILLIAM ROSE DISTILLERY Main Street, this 16-acre distillery and vineyard includes a tasting room for Hopwood Winery. On a random Thursday, the small room may be packed with visitors sipping drinks and noshing on charcuterie. A row of automated pour stations takes up a side wall. This is the perfect spot for a date night when one-half of the couple doesn’t enjoy bourbon. You won’t find gin, rum, or any other hard spirit here; William Rose is the rare Hoosier distillery that focuses entirely on whiskey.

The whiskeys—all smallbatch—pack a lot of flavor in a glass. Distiller Janet Hopwood is known for her big proofs.

Her flagship Indiana Bourbon clocks in at 110 proof, but, surprisingly, isn’t harsh. (It won Spirit of the Year at the 2021 Monterey Wine Festival.)

The rye whiskey has hints of caramel with a fruity finish.

Coffee lovers may want to try the limited-edition Zombie Fuel bourbon that was barrel aged for three years with coffee beans and almonds. The non-aged whiskeys have a bit more bite to them. HOURS Tue–Sat 1–6 p.m., Sun 1–5 p.m.

O CAT E D JUST off

uilt in the hills of the Brown County woods, Hard Truth Distilling Co. features a two-story craftsman-style overnight cabin made especially for the outdoorsy whiskey enthusiast. There, you can enjoy fine libations as you spot deer meandering the tree line. If that isn’t the perfect fusion of the great outdoors and whiskey heaven, guests to the cabin are also guaranteed a weekend distillery tour.

The distillery is located on a 325-acre wooded campus. Not even a third of the property is developed, which is just the way founders Ed Ryan, Jeff McCabe, and Tim O’Bryan like it. As the story goes, early in 2015, Dunbar and McCabe, with whiskey glasses in hand, explored the property, marking off areas they wanted to keep true to nature. Only the tallest rolling hills would host the timber frame buildings of the restaurant and distillery.

Then, the pair planned the ground’s walking paths, some of which lead down to a pond where the “world’s smallest rackhouse” now bobs on the water and where guests can feed fish (machines nearby dispense food). The same trails host runs like the Frosty Trails and the Whiskey Chaser races.

If exploring on four wheels is more your thing, the Get Lost ATV tour (you drink, they drive) provides some rugged backwoods scenery. In summer and fall, visitors can imagine the woods taking on an island vibe during Hard Truth’s Tiki Cruises, when party pontoons transport guests, tropical drinks in hand, across a man-made lake.

Even when you go indoors, there’s no avoiding Hard Truth’s obsession with the surrounding natural beauty. During one of several mixology classes, you can craft your own bespoke couple’s cocktail beneath the taxidermy turkey hanging out in the rafters. Afterward, head to the distillery restaurant for a menu featuring, among other signature inventions, the Lost in the Woods cocktail made with Hard Truth Vodka and citrus juices. For an entree, opt for the Campfire Roast Beef: red skin potatoes, pot roast covered in beef gravy, carrots, and corn on the cob, all wrapped in aluminum for that around-the-fire touch.

From spring through fall, check out live music at Hard Truth on the Rocks, a large outdoor sitting area complete with personal campfire pits. 418 Old State Rd. 46,

AN OLD BRICK SCHOOLHOUSE LANGUISHING AMONG THE CORNFIELDS OF FRANKLIN ONCE HOUSED FARM ANIMALS, HAD RAIN FALLING ON THE INSIDE, AND DESPERATELY NEEDED SOME TLC. A HOOSIER FAMILY

BY WAY OF NEW YORK UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT. MARCH 2024 | IM

W

H E N Stacie Grissom was a young student attending Franklin’s Hopewell Elementary, she liked to pretend that her school was her actual house. She’d plan out the best places to put in a kitchen and a living room in this grand and sprawling home that she imagined would feel like a castle. But, alas, “we don’t have castles in America,” says Stacie, now 35. “We have schools and firehouses and bank buildings.”

Decades later, Stacie and her husband, Sean Wilson, are living out their own version of this childhood dream. In 2021, while living in New York City during the height of the pandemic, they bought a historic schoolhouse 6 miles south of Hopewell Elementary, a 110-year-old brick beauty that they are converting into their family home. Built in 1914, Union Joint Graded School #9 was Johnson County’s first consolidated school, serving 100 students in four classrooms. When it closed in the mid-1930s, the walkout basement was used as someone’s barn. “Cows, pigs, sheep, chickens,” Stacie says. “Turkeys were up in the living room.”

Livestock aside, the numbers alone would have dissuaded most buyers: 9,000 square feet … 67 windows …

26 interior doors … 13-foot ceilings … 3 acres of land. And though the building was once again inhabited by humans post-barn, the historic structure needed just about every imaginable upgrade: a new roof, replacement windows, and an entire septic system, for starters. The couple had to rewire.

They had to evict the bats. It was a job for someone with “more guts than sense,” the daughter of the previous owners once joked.

Coincidentally, Stacie has often followed her gut. Her gut took her to New York City in her 20s. Her gut brought her back to Indiana in her 30s. And now, Stacie and Sean stand inside their gutted house on a cold winter morning. The renovation was supposed to have been done by Thanksgiving of 2023, but there are still no interior walls, ceilings, heat, or bathrooms. A bird flits between the soaring rafters. But in her bright red down coat, clipped hair, and stylish tortoiseshell glasses, Stacie looks more invigorated than tired—even though she doesn’t sleep as much as she once did.

“More guts than sense,” she repeats. “We’re definitely overly optimistic people.”

Their love story has the makings of a fairy tale. They met in grade school.

AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL

Union Joint Graded School was built in the early 1900s, an alternative to the one-room schoolhouse for the students of Nineveh and Franklin townships; the building’s basement, which once housed farm animals, prior to its power washing.

Like many ambitious people from small towns, Stacie dreamed of living a larger life. In high school, she told people she wanted to go to New York, even though she admits, “I didn’t even know what that meant.”

She stayed with the company for 11 years. By 2020, when delivery services were booming during Covid, BarkBox boasted revenues of $378 million. The following year, it went public.

But the pandemic took its toll. Sean was working in the Bronx, the city’s epicenter for Covid. “During the pandemic, everything changed,” says Sean.

their son, Arlo, was born in 2021. “We were ready to leave. We had no family there. We had friends, but none of them had kids. We didn’t have a safety net.”

While they had always planned to eventually return to the Midwest, the move now felt urgent. “You start to realize the thing that really matters is being around the people you love,” Stacie recalls. “I woke up one day, and I was like, I want to move to Franklin, and I really hope Sean agrees because it’s not really negotiable.”

“I was fine with it,” Sean says. “I just had to find a job.”

Sean searched for work, eventually joining Southern Indiana Orthopedics in Columbus. Stacie searched for a house, something quirky and historic, a natural impulse passed down by her family, who believe in saving old things of high quality. Her grandparents had a furniture-stripping business and owned an antique shop. Her father, Milt Grissom, owns a commercial real estate company and does woodworking, as does her brother, Alex, who also lives in Franklin. “It is not a painted-furniture family,” Stacie says. But houses on the National Register in Franklin seldom come up for sale. Just when Stacie was poised to launch a letter-writing campaign, their real estate broker, an old friend, sent an email with an odd subject header: “Don’t judge me.”

Stacie clicked and saw a photograph of the brick schoolhouse, which she remembered from childhood. “I started sweating, texting Sean furiously, calling my mom.” Her parents and sister, who all live in Franklin, toured the school, shooting a Facetime video. With their characteristic optimism, Stacie and Sean looked past the plants growing out of the basement walls and the crickets and spiders and grasped the building’s potential, its good bones. The school needed love and work. They were willing to give both. Stacie sold her LESSON PLAN

BarkBox shares, and the day she got the money, they bought the schoolhouse for $175,000 without ever stepping through the door.

Her father was all-in and initially served as general contractor. “He was scratching out numbers,” Sean recalls. Though not all of his math was correct—the windows, for example, ended up being four times what he originally figured—she still considers him “truly the brains of this operation.” He has saved the couple a lot of money and stress, Sean says.

That’s not all. “He obviously has an emotional investment in this, as well.”

It’s been challenging, Milt Grissom concedes, to maintain the building’s historic integrity and deal with supply chain delays due to Covid, but he’s confident the end result will be stunning—and big enough for family reunions. For years, the family used to pass the old school when they vacationed near Sweetwater and Cordry lakes. He always thought it was a cool building—always such a surprise, this mammoth brick structure in

the middle of cornfields—though he never imagined his daughter would own it. Still, he wasn’t surprised Stacie took the plunge. “She doesn’t have a lot of fear,” he says.

And so, the young family’s threeyear odyssey began.

Step one was cleanout. They demoed non-original walls and dropped ceilings, and they removed anything with water damage. Next came a new roof, as rain had been 56

falling inside the school. They waterproofed the foundation and put in a French drain. They put up 67 new windows and seven doors, a painful but necessary expense. A mason repointed the exterior bricks. New septic and plumbing followed, and then more than a mile of new electrical wiring was installed. Oh, and they had another baby (Margot, now a year and a half) in the middle of all this.

The next steps now are insula-

tion, drywall, HVAC, floors, and the kitchen. They hope to move in this spring. “It’s a project of a lifetime,” Stacie says. “It will never be done.

Never done-done.”

The original school had four classrooms, two “pail rooms” (where kids stored their bags and lunches), and no bathrooms. In the new design, one classroom will be the kitchen; a second, the living room; the third, the primary suite; and the fourth divided into three bedrooms. The bottom floor will remain a basement with space for storage, crafts, and exercise. Also in the works are a three-car garage for two cars and a golf cart, topped with a walkout deck.

Every day at the schoolhouse, old meets new. One minute, Stacie is digging through the archives of the Johnson County Museum of History to find vintage black-and-white class photos, which she plans to reproduce for wall art. They depict sober boys in overalls and girls with hair ribbons

and gingham dresses. The next minute, she’s posting peppy videos on social media. “One day, you’re young, hip, and carefree,” Stacie narrates in a video on her YouTube channel, which has 75,000 subscribers, “and the next you’re so excited about spray-foam insulation getting installed that you can’t sleep.”

Her social media posts bring in a modest income, as well as helpful tips and some words of encouragement. “Awesome job,” writes one fan. “Can’t wait to see the finished product!!! I’m a fellow Hoosier and I am excited to potentially drive by there one day.”

Disagreements have been rare, the couple say, though each has their passions.

Sean, the family chef, cares about the kitchen, appliances, and music.

Stacie created tile mosaics for the entryways and refinished 21 interior doors, replacing lost glass and attaching salvaged blackboards, a labor of love that took all summer. She has also created a crest featuring their family mascot, the turkey; three persimmons, beloved fruit of her father’s hometown of Mitchell, Indiana; a glorious tree in honor of the ancient silver maple that students from Union Joint planted in the schoolhouse’s backyard on Arbor Day; and a beloved line from the Wendell Berry poem read at their wedding, “Quiet in heart, and in eye, clear.” As for interior decor, Stacie envisions simple lines and bright primary colors. This is, after all, a school.

During construction, they’ve found some unusual things. A kitten skull in the wall. A 72-inch snakeskin.

“There was every animal known to man in there,” Milt Grissom jokes, “except tigers, lions, and wolves.”

Though the couple both did 4-H as kids—Sean grew up with hogs, Stacie with sheep—neither envisions livestock in their future.

“I definitely want chickens,” Sean says, “and she’s coming around to it.”

“I’m daunted by all we have to do right now, so I’m not daydreaming about more living things to take care of,” Stacie says. “It’s enough to keep a toddler and one-year-old alive and not killing each other.”

Looking through the plasticcoated windows across the road to the long horizon line and the enormous gray sky, one can sense a hush stretching out over the tilled cornfields. It’s quite a change from Harlem, where the little family’s entire apartment was smaller than a single classroom. “When you’re a kid growing up in Indiana, you’re like, ‘Yecch, it’s so flat.’ And then you realize people don’t have sunsets every night in different parts of the country,” Stacie muses. “You don’t get the horizon. This is beautiful.”

She pauses, summing up everything she sees. “It’s good to be back.”

Outside in the cold, the yard is huge, open, and flat. Perfect for a pool. Or a tennis court. Or both. The kids would love it! But even an optimist like Stacie has her limits. “They get a dirt field to go play soccer.”

How a major league fan living in a town without a team fell back in love with baseball.

MARCH 2024 | IM

59

SA As a kid, baseball was my first love.

I collected baseball cards, played flip (a game in which players toss a ball around a circle using only their gloved hands) for hours on end, mastered a cards-and-dice game called Strat-OMatic Baseball, and kept copious statistics on every player. When it was time to break in a new glove, I did the whole routine with leather oil, a baseball, and string. Then, I stuck it under my pillow at night. I could mimic the windup of just about every major league pitcher, which established me as something of a massive dork on the playground.

I still remember my first in-person game—the Mets at Shea Stadium— and the feeling that came over me when I walked through the tunnel and saw the most beautiful sight my 7-year-old mind could ever conceive: the greensward spread out before me, perfectly manicured, not a blade of grass out of place. The infield dirt was pristine, and the white lines stretched into infinity. It was a miracle to behold.

(Only later in my career did I realize that Shea was a complete dump, a cookie-cutter stadium bereft of charm or amenities.)

For the longest time, baseball was central to my existence. As a kid growing up in New York, there were the beloved Mets and the hated Yankees.

We went to games. We watched games on TV. It was appointment viewing. We moved to the Chicago area my junior year of high school, and I became consumed with the Cubs and the White Sox (mostly the Cubs). Then, as a professional sports scribe, I worked in New Jersey (Mets and Yankees again), San Diego (Padres), Pittsburgh (Pirates), Cleveland (Indians, now Guardians), and Denver (the Rockies came along in 1993 as an expansion franchise; in fact, you can get my book on that expansion season, Mile High Madness, on Amazon for about $1.55). Baseball was a central part of the rhythm of summer. Beyond that, it gave me something to cover, something to write about, during the summer months.

And then, around 2000, I fell out of love with the game. It wasn’t a single moment, like some kind of harsh breakup. It was a slow process. Yeah, I’d watch the postseason, but during the summer, it was background noise at best. I could still name the starting lineup of the 1969 Miracle Mets—go

ahead, try me—but I couldn’t name three current players on any team, including the Mets.

It just got too freaking slow, which became increasingly inescapable during the time I was covering sports in Denver from 1990 to 2000, when every game lasted four high-scoring hours or more because of the altitude (this was pre-humidor).

When I arrived in Indianapolis the summer of 2000, I continued to enjoy going to games—mostly for the beer and occasional fireworks—but without a local major league team to follow on a daily basis, my attention was diverted.

I remember watching a postseason series around 2000 or 2001 and realizing I didn’t know a single one of the players. At that point, I knew I was not the same kid who used to “amuse” his classmates with his Tom Seaver and Mike Kekich schoolyard windups.

My attitude and disinterest distanced me from the game for more than two decades, but that all changed this year.

It’s a whole new ballgame. I’ve fallen back in love with baseball.

This doesn’t mean I’ll watch all 162 Mets games this coming season. Given the woeful state of the team, that’s a painful proposition. But when a game is on, I plan to watch from start to finish. Especially in the postseason. Paying attention to the postseason was how I started slowly dipping a toe back in the water. But something happened last regular season: I found myself checking the TV listings to see if there were any compelling matchups coming on.

I started watching games from the first pitch to the last. I was mesmerized again, just the way I was as a kid.

Recent rule changes have made the game much faster and more palatable.

There are still things that drive me crazy, like both Texas and Houston pulling their starters in the middle innings during the playoffs while both pitching shutouts. Remember complete games? But matches are moving at a much better pace. Shoot,

even stolen bases have made a reappearance. Bunts? OK, let’s not get crazy, but you get the idea. Yes, I know, the Arizona Diamondbacks bunted a few times in the World Series, but it’s a rare occurrence in this day and age of the strikeout and the three-run homer.

Small ball, once all the rage, isn’t completely dead, but it’s on life support.

Baseball, which has gone from the “national pastime” to an afterthought when compared to the NFL and the NBA, fixed itself prior to the 2023 season, and America took notice.

According to MLB.com, 17 teams exceeded 2.5 million in attendance, and eight surpassed 3 million in 2023.

It was the highest-attended season since 2017 and a 9.6-percent increase over the previous year.

With the rule changes, the game now has a flow to it.

The pitch clock, which mandates that pitchers take no longer than 15 seconds to throw—or 20 seconds to throw with a man on base—has changed everything. Batters have to be in the box and ready to hit in eight seconds. In 2021, when pitchers were futzing around between each pitch and batters were adjusting their helmets, their batting gloves, their cups, and just about everything else you can think of—remember Mike Hargrove, nicknamed The Human Rain Delay?—games lasted an average of three hours and 10 minutes. Baseball lovers enjoy talking about how the beauty of the game lies in its timelessness, but it was getting absurd.

In an age of diminishing attention spans, three-plus hours of baseball, not exactly an actionpacked sport to start, was a bridge too far.

In 2023, the pitch clock reduced the average game time to just two hours and 39 minutes, a 24-minute decline from the previous year. According to Forbes, only nine games lasted 3.5 hours or longer.

In 2021, there were a whopping 390 marathon games of 3.5 hours or longer.

The 2023 average is the shortest it’s

I root for the Indians but can’t name a single player, despite the fact that some rising stars have come through this city.

A win for fans and their diminishing attention spans, in 2023, the pitch clock reduced the average game time to two hours and 39 minutes, a 24-minute decline from the previous year.

been since the 1985 season, when the average was two hours and 40 minutes.

Thank goodness. Baseball has been a special game for more than 100 years, but sports need to be tweaked as the circumstances require. The new digital guardrails are needed. Yet, the game’s timeless element—part of its romance—remains. I’ll let Howard Kellman, the longtime voice of the Indianapolis Indians and the biggest baseball fan I know, explain it as he did to about 50 Rotarians at the Bridgewater Club earlier this year: “Baseball is the only sport where the defense has the ball. All the other sports, the defense reacts to the offense.

But in baseball, the hitter reacts to the defense and the pitcher. That’s why it’s so unpredictable. You can have a bad ball club, but if you get a well-pitched game, you can win that given day. All

other sports are governed by a time clock. You can be trailing by five, six runs and then have a rally, and it’s like you defeat time. Time stops. It’s 27 outs, and that’s what makes this game so special.”

Now, I’d be lying if I said I’m a regular at Indianapolis Indians games.

I go now and then, mostly for the beer and, on occasion, the fireworks. I root for the Indians but can’t name a single player, despite the fact that some rising stars have come through this city and organization. I’ve been in Indy for 23 years, and not once has a reader ever said, “Bob, you really need to write about the Indians.” Except for a very small hardcore group of baseball fans, locals seem to view game attendance as more like a trip to the zoo or a walk in a leafy park. No one goes to the nearest sports bar and engages in debates over

whether the Indians’ middle relief is strong enough to win the division.

Professional baseball, though, including the minor league, has made some improvements, and not just with the pitch clock. For starters, the bases are now bigger, enhanced from 15 square inches to 18. This helps decrease the number of collisions on the basepaths and increase the success rate on stolen bases, which became something of a lost art in the age of the walk, the strikeout, and the three-run homer.

The defensive shift is gone. Now, there must be two defensive players on each side of second base. In 2022, the league batting average was .243. A year later, it was .248. My guess is that number will continue to increase over time.

A pitcher can now only attempt to pick off a baserunner—or disengage from the rubber—twice during an at-bat. After a third disengagement, the pitcher will be charged with a balk.

And after years of watching a chorus line of relief pitchers parade to the mound batter after batter, the league has mandated that a relief pitcher must face at least three batters, unless it’s the end of an inning. That’s moved the game along significantly. Who wants to spend half their life waiting for a new reliever to warm up?

Back in the day, it was all about putting the ball in play, moving runners over, and manufacturing runs. That has changed in this all-or-nothing era.

There have been other, less obvious rules changes and tweaks, but in the end, what they add up to is a baseball game that takes less time out of your life and creates more action on the field.

I have a buddy who is a huge, lifelong baseball fan. One day, I was watching his beloved Padres and texted him a comment about the game. He was shocked. “You’re watching baseball?

Since when?”

This rekindled love of baseball doesn’t necessarily make me popular around the house, where my wife would much rather watch HGTV or Netflix, but on those occasions when I can commandeer the remote, baseball it is. On a casual summer night, there’s nothing I like better than curling up with a good Major League Baseball game. There’s something undeniably soothing about it, but it’s not a snooze fest anymore. I’ve fallen back in love with the game.

Play ball. I’ll be watching.

A

stylish departure from steakhouse tradition, The Fountain Room embraces Supper Club flair without the formality, blending fine dining with unabashed fun. Guests can indulge in timeless fare, including pickled relish trays, richly flavorful prime rib, classic side dishes, and house-made desserts, paired with strong cocktails and a well-curated wine list. The stunning space features velvet banquettes, glowing chandeliers, and a reel-to-reel machine that evokes a sense of nostalgia. Look for the historic Bottleworks Hotel entrance and listen for sounds of mischief.

With an uncompromising effort to deliver authentic cuisine from around the Midwest, Clancy’s Hospitality is a lifestyle hospitality group that focuses on the integrity of our products, impeccable service, and redefining the traditional dining experience. Started in 1965 by Indiana Restaurant Hall of Fame member Carl Fogelsong, Clancy’s Hamburgers was the first double drive-thru fast food restaurant in the Midwest.

The Fountain Room, which opened in summer 2022 at Bottleworks District, was inspired by a trip to Wisconsin during the pandemic by father/son restaurant team Perry and Blake Fogelsong and combines Wisconsin-style supper club tradition with a Roaring Twenties, Jazz Age steakhouse vibe. Executive chef Ricky Martinez’s menu evolves the American supper club offerings for the more modern diner. Designed by locally renowned designers Phanomen Design, inspiration for The Fountain Room stems from visions of a retro supper club vibe. Repetitive geometric patterns and timeless millwork details are paired with texture and color combinations that are meant to give visitors a sense of nostalgia for times past. Think of a traditional Art Deco dining establishment that also functions as a social club. High class, yet affordable. Formal, yet relaxed.

OYSTERS

Noah Grant’s Grill House & Oyster Bar

R

estaurateur Shari Jenkins tasted her first oyster on her 13th birthday at the 1980s northside hot spot The New Orleans House with her father, which quickly became their favorite restaurant. Her father would challenge her to eat as many oysters as she could, and she hit four dozen on her 15th birthday.

This led Shari to establish noah grant’s grill house & oyster bar in 2008, featuring coastal elegance while highlighting fresh seafood, sushi, and Certifi ed Angus Beef filets, as well as fresh East and West Coast oysters daily.

A Zionsville native and resident, Shari wanted to bring her family’s love of traveling to her hometown. She was determined to find the freshest oysters available and bring them to noah grant’s. She also works with small family-owned oyster farmers to bring unique oysters that one won’t find anywhere else in Indiana.

Last summer, Shari launched noah grant’s sister restaurant, Tipsy Mermaid Conch House & Cocktails, two doors down from noah grant’s.

There, guests are immersed in a bright Key West vibe with delicious dishes showcasing the flavors of the cultures found on the island. Enjoy a signature beachside cocktail, conch fritters, Cuban fare, and, of course, Key lime pie! Outdoor seating on the charming brick street is available at both restaurants.

DOWNTOWN

ever-changing menu of small and large dishes.

Fried morels may show up on a spring picnic plate, while winter nights call for a comforting butcher shop Bolognese. 653 Virginia Ave., 317-686-1580, bluebeardindy.com V $$

INCLUDES Fletcher Place, Fountain Square, Mass Ave, Mile Square

Cafe Patachou +

Aroma ++

CAFE The original Meridian-Kessler “student union for adults” continues to draw in the morning crowds and has inspired citywide offshoots, such as the sleek, post-art deco, downtown location in the historic Stutz building, a huge hit with the business and weekend hordes alike. The cinnamon toast remains as thick as a brick, the produce is still locally sourced, the massive omelets continue to have cheeky names, and the broken-yolk sandwiches are a perennial lunch favorite. 1060 N. Capitol Ave., 317V $$ 222-3538, cafepatachou.com

INDIAN Familiar tandoori and tikka masala

staples mingle with heartier, more elevated offerings at this elegant pan-Indian spot.

Lunchtime lamb and chicken rolls in crispy flatbread wrappers stand out, as do hearty chaat dishes dressed up with yellow peas, yogurt, and chutneys. An impressive lamb shank is the highlight of the chef’s specialties and easily feeds two. A full bar and an artful array of desserts help round out a special occasion meal. 501 Virginia Ave., 317-602-7117, aromaindy.com V $$

Ash & Elm Cider Co. ++ CIDERY Ash & Elm’s array of complex and quaffable ciders gets broader all the time, with funky cocktails demonstrating a flavor profile well beyond sweet apples in the vibrant tasting room at the former Ford Assembly Plant on Washington Street. The food pairs beautifully with the drinks, from the now legendary elote fritters made with Indiana corn and cilantro crema to the crispy fried Brussels sprouts flavored with, of course, cider vinaigrette. A thick-cut Cuban and an Italian hoagie with all the meats are great choices among sandwiches, though the pimento cheeseburger with pickled green tomato is hard to beat. But more uptown offerings, such as ricotta gnocchi with seasonal garnishes or a lunchtime bulgogi noodle bowl, showcase how cider brings out the flavors in world cuisines as deliciously as fine wines.

Save room for cider doughnut holes lavished with caramel sauce. 1301 E. Washington St., 317-600-3164, ashandelmcider.com V $$

A Cup of Chai +

Bluebeard +++

PERUVIAN Crisp-crusted fresh bread made by

TEAHOUSE Punjab native Pravy Nijjar’s cozy,

funky teahouse, which opened in July of 2023 on a secluded section of Shelby Street in Fountain Square, offers a true taste of Indian-style chai with several different spice profiles. For the genuine article, go for the masala chai, a dairy-forward drink that features ginger, cardamom, fennel, and cloves, equally good hot or iced. Pair that with one of Nijjar’s street food–inspired snacks, such as golden, aromatic samosas or tasty kati rolls (tender paratha stuffed with spiced chicken, paneer, or potatoes). Coffee drinkers can get an espresso or cappuccino, and those avoiding caffeine can go for a spice-infused golden latte, mango lassi, or minty pineapple lemonade. The storefront spot is as comfy in the morning as in the evening, when Indians tend to prefer their chai.

1028 Shelby St., 317-998-4463, acupofchai.us $

Don Juan Peruvian Sandwiches +

CONTEMPORARY Bluebeard opened in 2012,

a local baker and finished on-site surrounds tempting meats at this darling sandwich shop tucked behind a secluded strip mall at Raymond Street and Sherman Drive. Favorites include the lomo saltado with tender strips of beef tenderloin and the lechon, a South American

and crowds still roll in for chef Abbi Merriss’ take on seasonal comfort food. Start with the bread baked next door at Amelia’s—it’s especially delicious slathered with anchovy butter—and build your meal from the

take on a Hoosier tenderloin featuring breaded pork roast topped with an onion salsa criolla. A fried-fish sandwich and creamy chicken salad get a boost of flavor from the tasty mild green sauce served at the table. 3720 E. Raymond St., 317-377-4677 $

The Fountain Room ++ UPSCALE Restaurateur Blake Fogelsong filled this two-story showstopper with tufted leather chairs, glamorous clamshell booths, marble bar tops, and cascading chandeliers as a tribute to the Art Deco splendor of the restored Bottleworks Hotel next door.

Meanwhile, the big-shouldered menu covers everything from fine-tuned steaks and seafood to wild-card winners like a 20-ounce Circle City Cut slab of prime rib, a noble old-school relish tray, utterly decadent French onion soup, and the best Coca-Cola barbecue ribs in town. 830 Massachusetts Ave., 463$$$ 238-3800, thefountainroom.com

Futuro ++ PIZZA Fans of this downtown-ish charmer don’t crave pizza. They crave Futuro. That’s one way to distinguish a standout joint from the places that merely provide a fix. When it opened mid-pandemic, Futuro immediately grabbed attention with Detroit-style pies. It’s a rare purveyor of thick, pan-cooked slabs characterized by a cheesy exoskeleton and sauce spooned over the toppings so it doesn’t make the airy, porous dough soggy. Followers quickly learned to make a play for the corners for maximum crispy-crust payoff, though the single-sided squares are hardly a compromise thanks to house-made ingredients, like ground pepperoni and chicken-and-ranch fixings.

The thinner tavern-style and gluten-free pizzas are just as impressive and generously loaded. Pre-order a special featuring Smoking Goose or Half Liter BBQ collaborations, add on the big, knobby breadsticks, and dine in to take advantage of the deep beer list. The expansion of the plucky storefront, tucked away on an alley just east of downtown, testifies to Futuro’s popularity and embodies the pizzeria’s attitude—big, fun, and original. 19 Cruse St., 317-360-4725, futuroindy.com V $$

The Garden Table + CAFE Expanding on the spa-style menu at its

original Broad Ripple location, this pretty, sun-drenched venue adds a full dinner and drinks menu to the established house-pressed juices, health-conscious salads, and carefully embellished toasts. The place remains a cafe at heart, though, especially with the elaborate espresso station cranking out caffeinated stunners like an iced latte with strawberry puree and the peppery, basilinfused Pablo Honey. 342 Massachusetts Ave., 317-638-0321, thegardentable.com V $$

The Good Spot ++ AMERICAN As a Civil Engineer Corps officer in the U.S. Navy, Omar Hasan’s talents ran more toward construction than cooking. Still, he often found himself manning the grill for fellow service members while stationed on remote islands and even owned and operated a Michigan restaurant from afar. Now retired, he’s opened this friendly Fountain Square–adjacent pub concept aimed to bring people together in a similar way, welcoming guests to sip drinks and relax over familiar fare like lick-your-fingers-worthy wings, meaty rib tips, platters of loaded chili cheese tater tots, and the house specialty—fried catfish. It’s family-friendly, too. 2023 Southeastern Ave., 317-943-9111, indygspot.com V $$ ADDED

Harry & Izzy’s ++ STEAKHOUSE Craig Huse’s casual alternative to big brother St. Elmo holds its own as a dapper hangout worthy of destinationsteakhouse status itself. The marbled bone-in ribeye sizzles in its juices, a smart pick among the high-quality (and highpriced) Midwest-sourced prime cuts.

The menu expands to thin-crust pizzas, sandwiches, salads, and seafood selections like pan-seared scallops. 153 S. Illinois St., 317-635-9594, harryandizzys.com $$$

Hovito Ultra Lounge + NEW AMERICAN Crowd-pleasing fare is served to a clubby beat at this handsome Wholesale District restaurant. Buffalo chicken rolls, empanadas stuffed with velvety shredded Cuban beef, teriyaki-glazed salmon, and three-bite lamb chops arrive on artistically plated dishes, and standard cocktails— spicy margarita, espresso martini—come together behind a stunner of a bar. 234 S. Meridian St., 317-969-6909 $$

Julieta Taco Shop ++ MEXICAN Gabriel Sañudo and Esteban

Rosas’ humble yet funky taco shop in the Stutz Building shows the pair’s skill and fine dining experience in little details such as the marinades for meats, tortillas handcrafted from heirloom corn varieties, and surprisingly flavorful vegetarian options.

Start with a signature taco al pastor, the meat shaved directly from a rotating spit, and pair that with one of the other tender grilled or braised meats, such as the earthy brisketlike suadero. Then, grab whatever special creation is on the pegboard menu, such as fluffy, creamy tamales, crispy snapper or mushroom tacos, or aromatic pozole. Tortas are especially satisfying, layered with beans, tangy house mayonnaise, and deeply flavorful, kicky house salsas. Light and not-too-sweet 128

the middle, the pizzas here are bona fide craft, from the dough to the quality toppings.

A standout is the Stinky Pete with wild mushrooms, gorgonzola, and plenty of garlic and herbs. Burgers, including one made from chorizo and topped with manchego cheese, play surprisingly close second fiddles to the pies. Cocktails concocted from boutique liqueurs and aromatics are reason enough to drop in, and they make for perfect sippers while you wait for your pie on the patio. Don’t miss trying one of the carefully curated natural wines. 452 N. Highland Ave., 317-602-7960, kingdoughpizzas.com V $$

Leviathan Bakehouse ++ BAKERY Pastry chef Pete Schmutte’s patisserie and lunch cafe near Chatham Arch is a welcome addition to the downtown bakery scene. Schmutte draws on his talented staff’s specialties to produce earthy artisan breads, ultra-flaky French-style laminated pastries, and elegant financiers. If you oversleep the day’s breakfast sandwich with creamy, soft eggs, grab a chimichurri roast beef sandwich with apple-fennel chutney and brie on porridge bread. 1101 N. College Ave., 317-493-1879, leviathanbakehouse.com V $$

Livery ++ LATIN This place feels like a hidden urban treasure, especially when the mezcal cocktails are flowing and the partially open kitchen is sending out plate after plate of contemporary Latin-inspired fare. Favorites have included the Brussels starter, a shareable snack blanketed with cotija and house serrano hot sauce, a salad tucked inside a folded manchego crisp, meltingly tender steak fanned over a block of polenta, and a silky tres leches cake that is to die for. Snag a spot on the upper-level deck with your cocktail in hand for a real treat. 720 N. College Ave., 317-383-0330, livery-restaurant.com $$

Nowhere Special ++ COCKTAIL BITES Opened in the erstwhile

subterranean home of The Libertine on Mass Ave in late June of 2023, Dan Cage’s funky cocktail lounge and small bites spot is far from its all-too-modest name. Sleek banquettes in earthy greens and brushed brass tabletops provide an elegant backdrop to classic pours and a host of new elixirs created by the talented bar staff. Try the light and fruity Love Island with passion fruit liqueur, tangy citrus cordial, and bubbles. Surprisingly generous small plates include an Asian-inspired smashed cucumber salad and an earthy wood ear mushroom salad that’s meaty and satisfying. Hearty beef dumplings with chili crisps and a soy dipping sauce are a highlight, as is the luxe mushroom butter on the bread plate. A nicely restrained bread pudding with a good hit of salt in a warm caramel sauce is a knockout of a finale that won’t weigh you down on a night of barhopping— or bar-staying. 608 Massachusetts Ave. $$

St. Elmo Steak House ++ STEAKHOUSE Since 1902, this stately house of red meat has served as the unofficial ambassador of downtown Indianapolis— the walls carry decades’ worth of celebrity photos, the burnished bar hearkens to an earlier era, and the servers remain starched and bow-tied. The drill remains the same, as well: a generous martini, a shrimp cocktail with that notoriously hot cocktail sauce, the bean soup or tomato juice, the wedge, and one of the legendary steaks. 127 S. Illinois St., 317-635-0636, stelmos.com $$$$

NEW AMERICAN Diners are in for a delightful treat that begins with a sip of bubbly at this cozy, detail-oriented restaurant where the open kitchen almost feels like part of the dining room. The menu changes with the seasons, but the soup is always something lush and vegan; the Duck & Dumplings (featuring duck confit and truffled dumplings) sells out fast; and the person who orders the pork chop will be the most-envied diner at the table. The cocktails are delicate, the wine list well-curated.

Don’t skip dessert, especially if it involves a scoop of ice cream. 402 E. 16th St., 317-925V $$$ 5000, tinkerstreetrestaurant.com

Milktooth +++ BRUNCH This diner-style cafe has a playfully

gritty vibe. The early morning counter service featuring pastries and coffee gives way to a full-service brunch menu with daytime craft cocktails. 534 Virginia Ave., V $$ 317-986-5131, milktoothindy.com

ITALIAN More than filling the need for a bona

ASIAN-INSPIRED The lavish restaurant in

fide Italian restaurant on Mass Ave, this modern, colorful trattoria from the owners of The Oakmont measures up to some of the best

Bottleworks District’s showpiece slot gets extra style points for its gorgeous industrial-sleek

Mediterranean spots anywhere in the city. New seating and light fixtures add a brighter palette to the sleek former Hedge Row location, and a nicely edited menu offers familiar classics with a few twists for the more daring. Starters are a must, with generous sweet and meaty garlic shrimp and mushroom-studded arancini starring on the short list. Pizzas are a solid bet, with a nice char from the in-house brick oven, and pastas are solid, with little additions such as a raw egg yolk and truffle oil in the not-too-unorthodox carbonara. But crispy, al dente fried gnocchi with pulled chicken and pesto are a standout, as is the branzino with a golden sear and thick slices of eggplant and zucchini topped with a tangy tomato chutney.

Well-mixed cocktails are no surprise given the restaurant’s pedigree. And tiramisu lovers will enjoy the creamy, restrained version here, spiked with spiced rum and topped with playful coffee caviar. 350 Massachusetts Ave., $$$ 317-798-2492, vicinoindy.com

Landlocked Baking Company + CAFE What began life as a production bakery

along Irvington’s tucked-away Audubon Road has expanded into a full-service daytime spot serving sandwiches and plated entrees. But it’s the pastry case you don’t want to miss.

Laminated lovelies greet you as you wait in the queue to order at the counter, such as filled croissants, doughnuts, and the daily bostock. The more lunch-focused menu keeps things brief, with a special focus on freshbaked carbs. 120 S. Audubon Rd., 317-207-2127, landlockedbakingco.com V $$

Chicken Scratch ++ Natural State Provisions ++ CASUAL Customers order at the counter and

find a table inside this former microbrewery reinvented as an endearingly kitschy eatdrinkery. The food is rooted in homestyle Arkansas cooking from co-owner Adam Sweet’s native state, heavy on the deep-frying and sweet tea brining. Order a Sling Blade cocktail, get a side of collard greens with your fried bologna sandwich, and don’t miss the daily soft serve ice cream flavor. 414 Dorman St., 317-492-9887, naturalstateprovisions.com $$

Beholder +++ CONTEMPORARY You never know what to expect

from restaurateur Jonathan Brooks’ Windsor Park kitchen, aside from one of the most innovative and well-executed meals in town.

The menu is difficult to track, mainly because Brooks builds his dishes around seasonal ingredients that are fresh and of-the-moment.

Impeccable servers will guide you through the evening’s offerings, which start small at the top of the menu (fresh oysters, perhaps, or pork rinds with kimchi and chicken liver mousse) and bulk up toward the bottom (think wild boar Bolognese or a massive pork Wellington for two). Finish with the most exotic flavor of house-made ice cream. 1844 E. 10th St., V $$$$ 317-419-3471, beholderindy.com

waiting to be discovered. They don’t take hamburgers lightly; the menu is full of specialty patties topped with savory and tender brisket, grilled pineapple, or spicy chorizo. They all pair well with hand-battered onion rings, fries, or loaded tater tots. If the burgers are what bring you in, it’s the milkshakes that make you stay—hand-dipped and served in an oldfashioned glass, piled high with whipped cream, and, of course, garnished with a cherry on top.

NEW AMERICAN Breakfast specialties, such as light-as-air French toast, biscuits and gravy, and eggs Benedict lavished with crab and avocado, are stars on the menu at the new location of Dexter and Toni Smith’s cheery eatery. But lunch and dinner are equally respectable, especially a generous shrimp po’ boy or a crispy chicken sandwich with peppered bacon, onion rings, and barbecue sauce with your choice of spice level. More substantial entrees include a grilled pork chop with apple chutney, with elevated touches owing to Dexter Smith’s Chef’s Academy pedigree. After operating mainly as a carryout spot on North Sherman and later in Little Flower, this location comes with a full bar, which means cocktails—such as the creamy, floral Respect Your Elders with bourbon, elderflower, and lemon—are a must. 4022 Shelby St., 317- 974-9032, opennkitchen.org $$

NORTHEAST INCLUDES Broad Ripple, Meridian-Kessler

SOUL FOOD Chef Tia Harrison’s second, mostly carryout spot on Keystone Avenue streamlines the menu to the bestsellers from her original Chef Tia and Co. location on West Washington Street. Meaty, tender wings with a variety of sauces and spice levels, as well as earthy, dressed-up fries, cover most of the menu here. That’s more than enough for a Cajuninflected feast. Signature honey hot wings, either naked or breaded for extra crunch, come customized with the amount of sauce you want. And fries are available with a simple toss of truffle seasoning and parmesan or dressed up to entree status with chipotle steak or shrimp and Alfredo sauce. 5308 N. Keystone Ave., 317-426-3457, chickenscratchindy.com $$

Diavola + PIZZA Pies emerge expertly bubbled and charred from a centerpiece brick oven. Ingredients are simple but top-shelf, including homemade meatballs, spicy sopressata, smooth clumps of fior di latte, and torn basil. 1134 E. 54th St., 317-820-5100, diavola.net V $$

Fernando’s ++ MEXICAN / BRAZILIAN With their combined Mexican and Brazilian backgrounds, the couple that runs this cozy restaurant in the heart of Broad Ripple set out to provide a rare, authentic taste of each cuisine. Their effort pays off in traditional comfort dishes such as feijoada (a meaty bean stew served with steamed rice, orange slices, and a sprinkle of farofa), a layered escondidinho de frango reminiscent of shepherd’s pie, and fragrant carne asada served with Mexican onions and guacamole. Dishes are served with both Mexican and Brazilian hot sauces, each with their own brand of afterburn.

Gorgeously jiggly flan is the star of the dessert course. 834 E. 64th St., 317-377-4779 $$

True to form, well-seasoned ground beef gets chopped on a sizzling flattop, then pressed into a sub sandwich roll and topped with plenty of gooey cheese and mayo, which makes for a rich and flavorful mashup of the smashburger and a Philly cheesesteak. But be sure to dip into the eye-popping menu of wings, chicken tenders, fried fish, and—another Big Apple food cart favorite—chicken over rice (tender grilled chicken breast meat with a signature white sauce slathered over rice). Try it with lamb, as well, or go meatless with falafel.

Hikaru Hibachi Express and Sushi + JAPANESE While not for sushi purists—the most popular roll is NY strip steak, and many others are deep-fried, heavy on mayo and sweet sauces, or feature baked fish—this unimposing eatery in the former Hellas location does what it does well. Onion soup is piping hot, bright, and bolstered with bits of mushroom. Seaweed salad is dotted with red pepper and cucumbers. Forkful after forkful of savory veggie fried rice is fluffy, needing not a drop of the accompanying Yum Yum Sauce. Shrimp tempura is wonderfully light and crunchy. Flavorful chicken hibachi includes aromatic wedges of just-soft-enough sweet potato.

Both pair beautifully with Causita de Pollo, a mound of creamy mashed potatoes layered with avocado and topped with a creamy chicken-based sauce. Shredded chicken with a lush yellow pepper sauce and a wine-enriched, vegetable-laden beef stew are the most classic main dishes for those getting a first taste of the cuisine. The big appetites at the table will appreciate meaty dishes such as Lomo Saltado, sauteed strips of beef with onions and tomatoes, or a so-called “poor man’s plate” that pairs two generous strips of Angus steak with french fries, rice, plantains, and eggs. 9546 Allisonville Rd., 317-537-2025 $$

food offered at this Castleton feed house is most impressive. Diners are greeted just inside the door with a full sushi bar cranking out vibrant raw fish in every configuration, including flanks of smoky unagi on sticky rice and tiny saucers of fish roe offered up like condiments.

Piles of steamed crustaceans await cracking, and you can create your own ramen combo.

Wisanggeni Pawon ++ INDONESIAN The talents of chefs Bambang Wisanggeni and Putri Pratiwi make dining at Wisanggeni Pawon a suberb experience. That, plus all their wonderful family recipes. The husband-andwife duo presents the complex, spice-forward dishes of their homeland, as well as some hibachi favorites drawn from their experience at nearby Japanese restaurants, in their new location on the corner of Keystone Avenue and 71st Street. Start off by splitting a platter of martabak telor, a hearty beef omelet encased in crispy wonton skin, or share some steamed Indonesian dumplings with a rich peanut sauce. Then try the signature beef rendang, a dish from Western Sumatra featuring tender meat simmered in coconut milk with an aromatic array of spice. Or order bebek Madura, braised and fried duck with toasted coconut.

Both dishes come with a fiery house sambal.

Auberge + FRENCH Brick Street Inn’s classic French

bistro installed talented chef Toby Moreno (of The Loft at Traders Point Creamery and Plow & Anchor) in early 2022 and immediately sent him to Paris, where he trained in the kitchens of famed chef Alain Ducasse.

Moreno has added that continental know-how to the vintage dishes he makes fresh with as much local produce, meats, and cheeses as he can. That translates to an impressive plate of buttery escargot topped with croutons, seasonal salads, and a deeply flavorful French onion soup with a rich broth. Seafood shines among the entrees, especially crispy-skinned roasted cod, though diver scallops with asparagus puree showered with herbs and toasted almonds also impress. 175 S.

Bearded Bagel ++ DELI Food truck veteran Tom Race opened

this brick-and-mortar bagel deli on Indy’s northeast side in late 2021, featuring his signature steamed bagel sandwiches with dozens of topping combinations. Breakfast versions, such as the Slammin Sammy with bacon, egg, and American cheese or the Hangover Helper with spicy cream cheese, bacon, egg, and three slices of cheese are a no-brainer. But whimsical tributes to fast-food favorites, such as the R-Bee’s with roast beef and extra cheddar, are great lunch choices.

Vegetarians can opt for the Urban Farmer with “all the veggies,” avocado, and cheese, and traditionalists can sink into a cream cheese–schmeared bagel with lox, tomato,

capers, onions, and cucumbers. Puffy, sweet cinnamon rolls, hearty biscuits and gravy, and loaded tater tots with sausage gravy, bacon, cheese, and eggs complete the menu, along with Nutella and peanut butter bagels and a short list of cookies and brownies.

The HC Tavern + Kitchen ++ CONTEMPORARY The term “tavern” hardly

captures this swank addition to the Huse Culinary Group/St. Elmo family. A hit among starters is the Lobster “Cargot” with lumps of lobster meat in garlic butter and melted havarti. Chops include the supper club darling steak Diane with mushroom cream sauce and horseradish mashed potatoes, though equally regal is the wagyu meatloaf enriched with pork and veal, sauced with a truffle mushroom demi-glace. The Yard at Fishers $$$ District, 317-530-4242, atthehc.com

AMERICAN Opened in the 1930s near the rush of the White River and purchased by Charles Bonge a little over 10 years later, Bonge’s Tavern has been a part of Indiana dining history for more than 90 years. In the fall of 2023, Burgess Restaurant Group purchased it and installed Dean Sample as executive chef. The star of the menu is still the signature tenderloin, appropriately named the Perkinsville Pork. Other favorites include a stuffed duck breast and a fresh fish entree.

Chef Sample inflects his own ideas into the menu, with a Southern influence. It’s worth the risk to order whatever delightful special he adds to the menu.

Starters, such as paneerstuffed steamed dumplings, juicy chicken drumsticks, samosas, and spring rolls, are a must. For the true experience, try one of the wok-cooked dishes labeled Chinese, or go for delecate Hakka noodles or fried rice with either burnt garlic or masala. House-made desserts include a small case of pastries and a version of the popular gulab jamun with rose preserves.

Robert Carmack fell in love with British culture and cuisine during travels abroad.

Their Geist restaurant is a true tribute to the food, serving not only a classic full English breakfast and sausage rolls made with imported meat, but also a very convincing fish and chips featuring crispy planks and hand-cut potatoes. Don’t forget to ask for the malt vinegar or the HP Sauce for authenticity. 11210 Fall Creek Rd., 317-2889739, cheekybastardsrestaurant.com $$

Fans of smoked meats order off a menu that covers traditional carnivore territory as well as some creative upgrades, including pulled pork nachos and The Willie brisket sandwich topped with hot liquid cheese and slaw on a brioche bun. 7724 Depot St., McCordsville, 317-335-7675, traxbbq.com $$

The Monk’s + INDOCHINESE Popularized during the British

northside tavern Smee’s Place to her third Indian eatery in late 2022, offering an ambitious and artfully executed menu of dishes from around South Asia. Starters are where the menu truly shines, with crispy eggplant and kale fritters, deeply aromatic Chicken 65, and true-to-their name Juicy Drums of Heaven. Lesser-known dishes, such as chettinad—equally good with chicken, seafood, or lamb—are great bets. Breads are a must here, especially chewy, crisp garlic naan.

These dishes fall somewhere between flavors of India and from farther east. A full menu of wines and cocktails pair nicely with the spicy, aromatic dishes on offer. 1454 W. 86th St., 317-884-6982, amaraindy.com $$

(including Curries and Chutneys and India Gate) to occupy the same strip mall space on Indy’s northwest side, this Texas-based chain bills itself as a “Biryani House” and specializes in nearly 15 varieties of the hearty basmati rice dish. Giant, delectable dosas filled with potatoes, chili paneer, or chicken tikka are served with a trio of spicy sauces and are a highlight, especially on Thursday’s unlimited dosas night. 8840 N.

Field Brewing ++ BREWPUB This Westfield addition to the local

craft brewery scene would be dazzling enough for its mod fixtures and bocce ball court that spans the family-friendly outdoor space, but the menu is as daring as it is easy to pair with the house brews. The kitchen skillfully prepares standout dishes, such as tender lamb ribs with chimichurri and deeply caramelized Brussels sprouts with hunks of bacon that are some of the best in town. Their events space is simple chic and full of natural light, available (with reservations) for those special receptions and birthdays–or just for big family and friend gatherings. 303 E. Main St., Westfield, 317-804V $$$ 9780, fieldbrewing.com

grounds of an artisanal dairy farm, Traders Point Creamery’s farmstead restaurant (housed in one of several restored historic barns) feels like a working model for farmto-table dining. Some of the ingredients on executive chef Jon Warner’s menu are grown on-site, and it would be a shame to pass on the charcuterie board, an appetizer featuring the creamery’s award-winning cheeses, sweet and savory spreads, crunchy cornichons, and locally cured meats. Grass-fed Niman Ranch steaks, seasonal fish and seafood, and housemade yeast rolls are always solid choices, as is the burger made with 100-percent grassfed beef. For dessert, grab a scoop or three of their ice cream, perfect if you just want to go a la mode. 9101 Moore Rd., Zionsville, 317-733V $$$ 1700, traderspointcreamery.com

Carmichael is home base for this fine dining experience with a slight French accent.

Executive chef Joseph Hsu plates up simple but elegant roasted breast of chicken with herb jus, seared salmon with heirloom succotash, and a beef tartare bound with quail egg. Cocktails (like the Fluted French 75) are potent and pretty. Desserts supplied

by Circle City Sweets are properly dainty.

CONTEMPORARY The meticulously plated fare at Steven Oakley’s eatery hails from a culinary era when sprigs of herbs and puddles of purees provided the flavor, and every single element on the plate served a purpose. The presentations are wild, with menu descriptions giving little more than clues as to what might arrive at the table.

tall shop windows and pressed tin ceilings of this restored historic building as you chomp into a fully loaded burger.

Baan Thai Bistro ++ THAI Roxanna Williams’ cozy Thai eatery,

which she opened in a former house and hair salon in late spring of 2023, is a welcome addition to Wanamaker’s dining offerings, bringing aromatic flavors and artful presentations to dishes like the lightly breaded and fried Son-in-Law Eggs (Kai Look Keuy), which is drizzled with earthy-sweet tamarind sauce, and generous summer rolls that come with a trio of tangy dipping sauces.

Less expected shareable starters include rich and flavorful Isan Thai Sausage with just the right amount of spice, served with a not-too-hot dipping sauce and a darling bamboo basket of sticky rice; a Crispy Rice Salad that crackles and pops; and airy steamed dumplings. Hearty Boat Noodle Soup and Crispy Pork Belly Ramen with a light mushroom-scented broth are good bets for main dishes, as are the kicky Crying Tiger Steak and more typical curries and noodle dishes. Adventurous diners will want to try one of three fish dishes redolent of ginger and basil, and a funky mix of whole

Cafe Euclid + COFFEEHOUSE Vino Villa owners Paul and Laura Jacquin opened this cozy cafe in a smaller restored home behind their popular wine bar in Old Town Greenwood in July 2022, and southside coffee lovers immediately lined up out the door. Lattes and espresso drink specials top the caffeinated offerings, and bagels sourced from Bloomington’s Scholars Inn Bakehouse get dressed up with Italian meats, smoked salmon, or avocado and veggies to complete your morning pick-me-up. But house-baked cinnamon rolls and generous chocolate chip cookies with flakes of sea salt are alone worth the visit. Colorful murals paying homage to the Greek mathematician Euclid, repurposed wood accents, and plenty of patio seating make this a soothing daytime sitting spot before heading for adult beverages next door. 357 Euclid Ave., Greenwood, 317-360-9887, cafe-euclid.com $

Mr. Patakon + COLOMBIAN The name of Diana Moreno and

Brenda Sánchez’s festive, authentic southside Colombian eatery comes from the popular Latin and South American dish patacones— flattened, fried plantains filled with everything from shredded barbecue chicken criollo to cheese, corn, and shredded beef. But more familiar fare includes colorfully conceived hot dogs like the Super Perro, which is topped with

every meat in the kitchen, quail eggs, and a special house sauce. Mazorcada (heaps of sweet corn topped with meats, cheeses, and potato sticks) is a delectably novel side dish.

Fruit drinks and desserts, especially obleas (wafer cookies filled with dulce de leche and cheese), are worth the extra calories for a flavor experience like no other in the city. 7415 U.S. 31, 317-692-9829, mrpatakon.com $$

I N T H E SUM M E R of 2007, an enterprising publicist at HarperCollins persuaded this magazine to write an article about my books. Former executive editor Amy Wimmer Schwarb drove out to Danville to interview me, and we hit it off so well she offered me a job writing a monthly column. Seventeen years is forever in the magazine world, so I’m not surprised this gig is coming to an end. This will be my last column for Indianapolis Monthly, unless sufficient numbers of you storm the headquarters bearing torches and pitchforks demanding my reinstatement. Just to be clear, I don’t want you to do that. This magazine has been wonderfully kind to me, so I’m hoping if I saunter 136
