Second Servings Podcast

In this episode of Second Servings, we hightail it to Indianapolis to sample the movable feasts of the modern food truck industry. From Hoosier home-cooking, Southern BBQ, and Cajun cuisine to gourmet and international fare, we explore the many splendors of mobile food.

Here are some of the the vehicular vendors who share samples and stories of their roadside creations:

• Duo’s
• Hoosier Fat Daddy Bus Cafe
• Edwards Dashboard Drive-in
• Mable on the Move
• Rollin’ With Da Roux
• Scratch Streetfood
• Some of This! Some of That!

Like pork tenderloins and turtle soup, which were popularized by German immigrants, many of Indiana’s food traditions have been transplanted here from other regions.

With an interest in the localization process of foods, we look at ethnic and regional foods popular in Indiana though not conventionally thought of as Hoosier cuisine.

We visit three food establishments curiously nestled in the Hoosier heartland—El Tacos Veloz in Indianapolis, Zydeco’s Cajun Restaurant in Mooresville, and House of India in Schererville—to find out what it takes to present and preserve these cuisines in a new locale.
