All city magazines must contain some commentary on the local food scene. However, since Indianapolis does not have a particularly notable cuisine culture, it can be difficult for its publications to present something exciting and unique. In every issue, we struggled to bring the reader entertainment as well as information about area restaurants. This allowed for a variety of unconventional reviews, whether it was a variation in form (a lunch review written as a short "one-act" play) or an unusual subject (the take-out refrigerator at Target, sandwiches at the American Legion). Traditional reviews were published as well. Here are several examples of the variety of styles.
Eddie's Corner Cafe
The Blue Cactus
Long's Donuts
Ripple Bagel & Deli
In addition to food reviews, the magazine also published a package entitled "Top Shelf," which featured long-form essays related to all things potable, product reviews, and short interviews and drink recipes from area bartenders.
Top Shelf - The Martini
Top Shelf - Shula's Steakhouse
Liquor Reviews
