Gourmet on GameDay Part III: Lamb Lollipops
Lamb and lollipops, you say? It’s true! These bone-in, savory delights do resemble lollipops because they were carved from a New Zealand rack of lamb by our very own Chefski. He marinated these culinary creations in a luscious combination of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, basil, mint, and thyme and then grilled them up GameDay […]

Gyros and Belly Dancing
Traveling to Greece is one of my fondest memories. The food, culture, and people make this a go-to destination for all. Even though it’s been years since I walked along the Aegean Sea in Santorini or explored the ruins of Athens, I still get my fix of Mediterranean cooking quite frequently… and it doesn’t cost […]

A Taste of Morocco in Indianapolis
Sweet and savory is the name of the game in Morocco, evoking thoughts of lush fabric textures in jewel tones draping across interiors of distinct architecture. Morocco is a cultural crossroads and that’s reflected in its food with identifiable elements of Iberian, Mediterranean, North African Jewish, and Berber cuisine. Chef Anas Sentissi channels that storied […]

Sunsets with a side of Seafood
Eagle Creek Reservoir on the city’s west side is literally, by a long shot, my most favorite place in Indianapolis. It is a little slice of heaven carved out in the shape of a lake. To me, Eagle Creek is a Midwestern paradise complete with state park scenery and gorgeous sunsets. There is one restaurant […]

Honest. Goodness. Soul
Georgia Reese’s, created by former Indianapolis Colt’s player Gary Brackett and aptly named after his daughter, highlights the best of southern cooking. From alligator bites, to fried chicken and sweet potatoes, the menu is full of delicious soul food. With two locations in Indy, the north side and downtown, there’s twice as much goodness to […]

A Little Taste of Italy
Hearty family recipes fill the menu at Iozzo’s Garden of Italy, a storied spot south of downtown. I have driven past the restaurant over the years in the unassuming location just south of downtown. I was very excited to experience the restaurant for the first time and learn what delicious delights existed inside the beautiful brick […]

A Taste of Africa in Indianapolis
The sites, the sounds, the smell. All reminiscent of a far off place with rich tradition and a colorful heritage. You do not have to travel long to get a taste of Africa in Indianapolis. Look no further than Abyssinia for an authentic Ethiopian experience. The owners of Abyssinia welcomed me with open arms into their […]

Chef Joseph’s at the Connoisseur Room
There is so much that can be said about Chef Joseph’s at the Connoisseur Room. It is a fine dining experience like no other in the city. Wood paneled walls, decorative umbrellas and red carpeting set the stage for the meal, the service is excellent and the food is incredible. It is like stepping into a […]

It is All About The Bread
Ask anyone in the know what makes a perfect po’ boy sandwich and they’ll tell you it’s all about the bread: fresh-baked French loaves with a crunchy crust and light-as-air center. Lucky for us, B’s Po Boy at 1261 South Shelby Street in Fountain Square has got the line on the best bread in the […]

Bangkok
In the last year I have been nurturing a newfound love for Thai food. I have visited many of the excellent Thai restaurants throughout the city and have loved every minute of experiencing a new culture through my taste buds. My problem is that when I want to try something new, I’m never really sure […]
