Under Brown Mountain Lights the Beast of Blandenboro wanders this magical land where lighthouses shine on kingdoms only accessible by ferries. A Lost Colony of legends and pirates revealed in historical sites and majestic mountains with views that make us weep. The home of handmade sculptures and scrumptious cuisine. North Carolina leaves this long-time writer and artist breathless with endless surprises, including the unlikely warmth a winter walk on the beach can bring.
Since 1960, the alluring aroma of culinary delights has drawn hungry visitors to the east side of Indianapolis. Whether the hankering is for blueberry pancakes, a quesadilla, or a Big Steer Burger – the big draw is to eat at a “Steer-In.” The name has changed a few times over the years, but the goal to offer good food is intact. Indianapolis-based restauranteur group Laughner Brothers purchased the property in the late 1950s and changed the name to Laughner’s Steer-In. The venture was short-lived, however, and the company sold the restaurant to Harold Philips in 1964. He renamed it Harold’s Steer-In and ran the Indiana drive-in restaurant until 2007.
In addition to satisfying a big hunger, a visit to the Historic Steer-In is a nice change from some of the more typical downtown offerings. Give in to the sentimental calling of an earlier time, visit this Indiana restaurant, and enjoy the flavor only a small-town diner can bring. The menu and more information are available on the website.
