Synopsis

Cafe Indiana is both a guide to Indiana's hometown mom-and-pop restaurants and a reclamation and celebration of small-town Midwest culture. The hungry diner looking for adventure and authenticity can use Cafe Indiana simply as a guide to the state's quintessential eats: the best fiddlers, macaroni and cheese, soup beans, and beef Manhattan. But Stuttgen also captures the spirit of the locals, bringing to life the people whose stories give the book - and the food - its soul. Over plates of chicken and noodles, fried bologna sandwiches, and sugar cream pie, folks are crafting community at the Main Street eatery. In Cafe Indiana , Hoosiers and out-of-staters alike are invited to pull out a chair and sit a spell.

Media Reviews
I need two copies of Cafe Indiana! One for home, when I am planning my trips, and one tucked in my glove box as I crisscross the state. This book provides friendly recommendations and cultural insights for when you need a tenderloin sandwich, a piece of homemade pie, or just an alternative to the annoying sameness of fast-food restaurants. While readers might be looking just for a place to eat, they will find Indiana. Jon Kay, Traditional Arts Indiana
Joanne Stuttgen s Cafe Indiana left me, The Hungry Hoosier, hungrier than ever!

As I travel Indiana in search of food, family, and community, Cafe Indiana will be my road map. Scott Hutcheson, founder of HungryHoosier.com
