"Open for: Lunch, dinnerPrice range: $Mike and CJ McFarland started out with a friendly backyard barbecue competition in 2016. The duo, who met while working in a barbecue restaurant (she was a server and he was a cook), eventually spun the event out into Smokin’ Barrel BBQ, where they cook all their meats low and slow, arguably showcasing a regional Indiana-style: tender brisket and pulled pork get a proprietary dry rub and smoke for hours over a blend of local woods. Smokin There’s a second location in New Palestine.Best for: Getting messy. Barrel offers napkins, but diners might be better off with a bib." - Brian Garrido
