Kirkwood. Stopped in once. Horrible. Take me to that burrito joint in the stone building across the street
Biscuits and gravy

Speaking of breakfast, I had smoked pork chops, over easy eggs, fried potatoes and toast this morning and it was excellent. I'm baching it while my wife visits our daughter.

I went once and never went back. And I lived close. Street that the library was on
They had the best sausage in town, by far. I don't know what it was that made it great.
The mozzarella salad was the other thing. 90% cheese, 10% green stuff, the magic ratio.
Smoked pork chops and fried potatoes each deserves their own thread.
As I understand it, when the Webbs bought the Pizzaria they got custody of the strom recipe.
Sort of. Nicks stroms aren’t as good. Supposedly the company who supplied all the buns to most restaurants stopped making the hoagie bun. Even in the tri state they aren’t as good at other restaurants. Covid killed a lot of things. I remember rocky rice tried out and compared other vendors and really never found a replacement.
Best times as a kid, their biscuits and gravy, the tots and a drink for like $3
I stopped getting a strom at Nick's several years ago. They just sucked. Nothing like the old days (but what is?).
I love some bangers and mash. My ancestry is 99% Irish/English so I guess I was born with a taste for it.
Back when I was a kid in the 70's, the little Pasquale's Pizza shop on the corner of Webster and East Washington Street in Irvington had a good stromboli.
I like Lennie's for stromboli.
Like Marv said, the Cafe Pizzaria winner was the salad.
Dig tenderloins, but often have the guys at Cloverleaf South hook me up with a CFS sandwich...CFS on double buttered hamburger bun or texas toast, lettuce, tomato, and mayo.
First time I ordered one off the menu the waitress and cooks were perplexed. Next time she said she was making them at home for her kids, and so were the cooks.
I kick around the idea of trying to franchise the Dallas/Austin "Taco Joint" in that old gas station on Walnut across from the McD's heading outta town...but location may be too remote...

John’s Famous Stew on the near SW side of downtown Indy has the Tenderloin Supreme. Breaded tenderloin covered with the hot stew. I cannot explain how is works, but damn is it incredible.
If you're interested in franchising something, check out Sgt Peppers in Martinsville. I was in discussions with the owner probably 30 years ago, when it was just in a former gas station on 39 in Martinsville. I think it would have killed in Kokomo, which now has 4 chicken locations on the same corner. lol (Chik-fil-a is in the process currenty. Caine's, Popeye's, and KFC are already there). Bonus: White Castle is also there.
They're in a newer building kind of in the same parking lot as the Taco Bell on 39/67. Fried chicken and fried potatoes.
We used to stop in the old place and get take out for tailgating, back when games were at noon or 1pm.
