I love it when people see a need for something in Indianapolis and just go ahead and do it. That’s just what Nathan Smith, Zach Rohn and Mike Blackwell did when launching Manthan International Market, an ethnic food fest that takes place Saturday, July 26, at 748 Massachusetts Ave. They plan to hold the event […]
By Will Carroll Chefs’ Night Off took over the City Market on Sunday night, and it was my first opportunity to take part in this exciting new concept, where several area chefs get to show off in a showcase dinner. I was astounded by the creativity and the taste of the food. Why was this […]
So here’s where I’ll be Wednesday evening — tasting bourbon at Crown Liquors, 150 N. Delaware St., during a meet and greet from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. July 9 with Four Roses master distiller Jim Rutledge. You can sample all 10 Four Roses Bourbon recipes at barrel strength from Private Barrel Selections that were […]
So, okay, this isn’t really a cheesecake, and it doesn’t have key lime juice in it. You make the filling with three ingredients — same for the pretzel crust. But it is pretty darn good and a great, super-easy dessert for a holiday weekend. And that’s why I made it last night after the fireworks. […]
By Jolene Ketzenberger It’s been an interesting year for Indy resident Tekisha Collins — to say the least. Last summer, she appeared on the reality show “Supermarket Superstar,” progressed through the competition and actually won the grand prize. Her frozen treat, called the Smoogy, was to be developed and sold in supermarkets. But it hasn’t […]
I’ve been kind of taken with spicy cocktails lately, so when this recipe showed up in my email inbox recently, I thought it might be fun for the Fourth of July. Lots of local cocktail bars are featuring spicy drinks, but you can find this one at Marco’s, 2380 E. 54th St., the Mucky Duck, 4425 […]
It’s that time of year again. Local chef Roger Hawkins of Circle City Soups will be offering his signature summertime soup, My Dad’s Sweet Corn Chowder, made only with fresh corn from farmers’ market vendor My Dad’s Sweet Corn. The popular corn is raised and picked by hand by the Allen Baird family in Tipton […]
By Chad & Elizabeth Heeter Our family has been away from Indianapolis for five years, living in New York City and then the Middle East, and upon returning, we can’t help but notice what’s taking place: a dynamic and delicious food renaissance. Like a tourist discovering Indy for the first time, it’s thrilling to read […]
So I’ve been thinking about burgers lately — just in time for Fourth of July grilling, right? Well, wrong, apparently. I haven’t been especially happy with the burgers I’ve made on the grill lately, so I’ve been taking a look at some local chef-made burgers, like this one, from Black Market: Or this one, from […]
By Will Carroll There’s a lot of new on the Indy beer scene, but there’s also a lot of old. Let’s talk about the older breweries first. Sun King and Oaken Barrel are two of the giants of the local scene, but have gone in very different directions over the last five years. Both will […]
May and June have been busy months in the Indianapolis restaurant biz, with plenty of openings and staff changes. Erin Kem at R bistro will be taking over as executive chef when owner Regina Mehallick turns her attention to getting her new carry-out market, R2GO, open.
