“I was truly blown away by the Indianapolis culinary community and the extraordinary talent and hospitality represented throughout the night. What I especially appreciated was how seamlessly you brought together a celebration of immigrant and minority communities while also honoring the OGs who have helped shape the city's hospitality scene over the years. It was such a thoughtful way to bring your mission to life, recognizing both the diverse voices shaping Indianapolis today and those who have been building its culinary identity for decades.
