Good morning, readers.
Our most recent edition of Ask INDY was a popular one: dining out. We received over 20 responses from readers asking about restaurants with noise-abating materials, which chefs are doing creative things, and where to enjoy a good meal with an equally nice view.
And many of you wanted to know where to dine out with young kids, specifically, where they can try new foods and learn restaurant etiquette without being too disruptive to other diners.
The topic resonated with our resident dining out expert and award-winning food writer Lena Geller:
“I have a core memory of eating the brussels sprouts pizza at Durham’s Pizzeria Toro as a kid,” Lena writes. “I trusted pizza, so when it showed up covered in scary vegetables, I gave it a shot. That meal not only made me hip to brussels sprouts, it induced the realization that I’d been propagandized by the lamestream children’s media to think some foods were objectively icky. Going forward I was more open to foods that kids are taught to hate.”
