The 38 Best Restaurants in Indianapolis, Indiana | Eater
"When 11-year-old Ronald Johnson opened a barbecue shack in 1954 so he could buy a bicycle his parents couldn’t afford, little did he know that he would become the standard-bearer for ribs in Indianapolis, if not the state. More than seven decades later, he still uses his grandmother’s hickory-smoked secret recipe, which she bequeathed to him when she loaned him 75 cents to buy a crate of ribs, jumpstarting the entrepreneur. Legions of fans, locally and regionally, make a pilgrimage here by following the neon sign of a pig. Must-try dish: The smoked turkey ribs are considered the best in the city." - Brian Garrido
