Small towns are pretty nice, right? So many are charming enough that they’re worthy of a day trip all on their own. Some small towns are known for quirky things, like their delightful antique shopping, arts districts, histories, and more, but our favorite thing to love about small towns is the FOOD! Who doesn’t love food, right? Well, we found a small Hoosier State town that’s got as many great restaurants as it does residents.
