My fiancée and I recently went out for a late lunch on the west side. It seemed only fitting that we'd go to the Westside diner. She'd been there a few times before and was eager to get my take. The location felt familiar — it's the former site of the Route 66 diner, although it doesn't have the same car theme.

I recently went to Fishya — a "hidden" sushi restaurant in the Purdue West Shopping Plaza. Located on McCutcheon Drive, you're not likely to drive by it accidentally, but it's worth making the trip on purpose. Fishya … [Read more...]
