The Diner

What kind of food is it that restaurants serve that makes you want to keep coming back?  For most, it's one of two things: either the restaurant serves comfort food, or a restaurant that serves up the food the way the owner and workers would want it if they cooked it for themselves?  What if I told you that a place like this exists in Indianapolis, fits into our price point of $15 or less, and has amazing quality food that has had me there 3 times in their first three weeks after opening.

Justin's #IndyEats Bucket List

Well here we are, another point of change....

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.

3 Great Suggestions for Valentine's Dinner Date

My wife and I have been together for several years.  Over that time, we've been able to eat at a few establishments in Indy for Valentine's Day.  I've had some pretty stellar experiences, and some that also weren't so great.  I've had very expensive meals (to try and impress her), and we've also considered White Castle once (but you've got to make reservations?!?!).  Regardless of service, and whatever your price range, I've got a few different restaurant suggestions that I've tried or would recommend to anyone this week, and some helpful tips to get your foot in the door for date night this Thursday.
