Produktbeschreibung
From the sandy shores of Lake Michigan to rolling hills of southern Indiana are small towns, larger cities, historic county seats and charming communities offering all kinds of cuisine. From house made fried bologna in a nostalgic gas station-turned diner to premium Wagyu raised down the road exclusively for its restaurant patrons and everything in between, you'll find something for every palette. The Hoosier State is known best for two foods, its official state pie, sugar cream pie and its unofficial state sandwich, the breaded pork tenderloin. You'll find both throughout the state, but each place you try it is a little different. A secret ingredient, a non-traditional cooking method or an extra personal touch by the cook can make every experience of tasting the same food an awakening. Although Hoosiers know how to do pie and BPTs, they aren't the only foods you should seek out. A bowl of traditional Macedonian stew from a centuries old recipe. A shrimp cocktail sauce so hot, it will completely clear your sinuses. A hot yeast doughnut that will melt in your mouth. A piece of caramel still cut on a 19th century machine. A corned beef piled high at an authentic Jewish deli. A mound of handmade meatballs served in a martini glass. A serving of homemade pasta rolled into a 90-pound block of premium parmesan right before your eyes. A plate of Amish-style comfort food that will put your grandmother's pot roast and noodles to shame. Enjoy some wonderful food in some one-of-a-kind places. Dine in the Indiana Dunes just steps from the water or on a rooftop with a stunning view of the Chicago skyline across Lake Michigan. Have a pint of beer and a sandwich in a craft brewery housed inside a mansion built for one of the nation's most beloved car manufacturers. Fill up on a hearty "garbage" breakfast in a spot that only seats a dozen customers. Get a taste of the Caribbean and some Bob Marley vibes in a laid back lakeside cafe. Have some famous fried chicken in Northern Indiana's oldest restaurant in a historic inn. Experience fine dining in a newly repurposed bank turned boutique hotel with hints of Indy's racing history. Have a few chili dogs with a glass bottle of coke at an iconic coney stand - the oldest one in the country. Dine 50s style on a barstool or in your front seat after your meal is delivered by carhop. Food and travel writer Carrie Steinweg takes you all over this homey Midwest state for a melting pot of cuisines and dining experiences, giving insight into the stories behind the businesses, the buildings and the recipes.
