Joanne Raetz Stuttgen is a folklorist and the author of "Cafe Wisconsin" and co-author of "Cafe Wisconsin Cookbook". "Cafe Indiana: A Guide To Indiana's Down-Home Cafes" is her latest compilation and a superbly presented guide to Indian's hometown mom-and-pop restaurants in celebration of small-town Midwest culture. A perfect travel guide for anyone seeking authentic local cuisine, "Cafe Indiana" is organized into sections showcasing home-town cafes in the North; West; East; Central; South Central; and South regions of Indiana. Each entry includes directions, address, phone numbers, hours, and a descriptive and personable anecdote. Combining recommendations with cultural insights, "Cafe Indiana" is a must for anyone traveling through the state and looking for something good to eat and an intrinsically interesting place in which to have their breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Cafe Indiana is good resource for independent (therefore unique) family dining. Typically in small off the beaten-path locations. Provides great destinations for those Sunday afternoon rides.

I found this book interesting but I couldn't relate to so many of the hometown eateries as there weren't many in my area.

I grew up in Indiana and now live in Arizona. I return to Indiana several times a year to visit family and friends. This book is a great guide to those wonderful, uniquely midwestern cafes that cook and serve the best of downhome cooking. Also highly entertaining. My highest recommendations.

Book is adorable and very descriptive of the look and feel of the small town cafes in the area
