The 38 Best Restaurants in Indianapolis, Indiana | Eater

"Born in the Philippines and raised in Fishers, Carlos Salazar switched from accounting to food in early adulthood. Along the way, he has become one of Indiana’s most celebrated chefs for his masterfully prepared noodles and Asian dishes with dashes of Western cuisines, which he serves at the Garage Food Hall. Stellar combinations include beef birria ramen with wagyu tallow, Mexican herbs, Chihuahua cheese, and bao stuffed with braised steak, giardiniera, and Kewpie mayo. Vibe check: Come with a friend who can scope out some seats during busy weekends; otherwise you might have to eat your ramen standing up." - Brian Garrido
