My Google Local Guides food crawl in Indianapolis was a success!

For Google Local Guides Meet-Up Day on 18 June 2016, I organized a food crawl on the north side of the city.  The group had a great time... we all got to enjoy some awesome food and hospitality!

 

 

We got to Big Mike's Café and they already had plenty of space ready for us.  As always, Katie greeted us as if we were family and took great care of us as we waited on the others.


 



 

As we waited for others to arrive, we started off with an order of the garlic parmesan bread knots... these things are absolutely addictive.  Also, the other cool thing about them is that I got them for free!  The restaurant uses SpotOn, a rewards app where guests get a point each time they check in at the counter.  Only 5 points gets you a free order of the bread knots, so this was a great way to start!

 

Jesse and I decided that we wanted to share the Mom & Pop specialty pizza... it had a buttermilk ranch base, gouda, cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, and bacon all on top of their fresh house-made dough.  This pizza was unbelievable!  I also added green peppers to my side, and that made it even better.  It was perfect with a glass of sweet tea... another cool thing is that all beverages are served in mason jars!

Here is a picture of the whole group!  Katie and everyone else at Big Mike's did an amazing job... delicious food, friendly service, and an overall pleasant dining experience.  We had a great time with dinner, and most of us decided to continue hanging out at the next place.
















We all went to the The Quirky Feather Confectionery and were greeted very warmly.  They were excited to see us and were extremely helpful with the new faces we had brought in.  We all got our respective desserts (I got the peanut butter cup cheesecake... so good) and beverages, got a table together, and played the Mars Attacks dice game.

 

 

 

All-in-all, this was a delicious evening with some great company.  We would all like to thank both Big Mike's Café and The Quirky Feather Confectionery for helping make this food crawl a success!  We hope that, next year, we can get even more people involved!
