Cafe Indiana A Guide to Indiana's Down-Home Cafes

"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.Stuttgen, Joanne Raetz is the author of 'Cafe Indiana A Guide to Indiana's Down-Home Cafes', published 2007 under ISBN 9780299224943 and ISBN 0299224945.
