I feel as though this is the weirdest possible way for me to announce this, but as of June, I (Justin) will be moving to the Tampa area with my wife so that she can pursue a promotion with the company she works for. I am sad to leave Indy, as I have lived here for the last 8 years, and I will forever think of this place as my home. Nonetheless, the opportunity for her to pursue her career, and for me to attend school for cheap (FL in-state tuition is nearly $1,200 cheaper vs. IUPUI) is just too good to pass up. Although I am sad to leave my snowy state of IN, I am happy for the doors that this will open up for Mealightenment to expand again.
The plan: Have a Mealightenment Tampa branch, as well as the original still operating here in Indy. James and Jacob will still be looking for someone else to fill the brunt of blogging for me, and I will still run the operation from Tampa as the editor of both of the blogs. @MealightTampa has already been created on Twitter (follow it!), and other social aspects will soon follow. We will run separate branches of the blog, that will be connected through Blogger, until site hosting for both of the blogs becomes possible.
So in the spirit of change, and because I only have 84 Days 3 hours 33 Minutes and 30 Seconds till I move to Florida (I'm not counting or anything), I figured it is about time that I knock out the restaurants that I've always wanted to try before I leave Indianapolis.
I've got a short-working list that needs more added to it, and I'm taking suggestions. Here is what I have on the list so far:
- Lorenzo's Ristorante - @LorenzosIndy (Twitter)
- Jockamo Pizza - @jockamopizza (Twitter)
- Brown Bag Indy/The Libertine - @BrownBagIndy (Twitter)
- Augustino's of Indy - @IndyItalian (Twitter)
- R & R Extreme Wings - @rrextremewings (Twitter)
- Drake's - @Drakescomeplay (Twitter)
Melting Pot -@MeltingPotIndy(Twitter)- Caveman Truck - @cavemantruck (Twitter)
- Taco Lassi - @tacolassi (Twitter)
- Kountry Kitchen - @Kountrykitchen (Twitter)
This is again just a working list of businesses that I have always wanted to try, but have not. Feel like I missed something? Do I need to try something before I leave? Let me know. Tweet us @Mealightenment, email us @ mealightenment@gmail.com, or just post a comment below.
Thanks for everything, Indy! I look forward to the blog continuing to grow and gain ground in both Indy & Tampa!
Eat On,
Justin
