I am always on the search for great local spots for foodies.  My criteria for restaurants to make this list is pretty picky.  I like fresh high quality ingredients, some creativity on the menu, good recipes, good service, and skilled chefs.  Good food should not mean expensive.  There is a certain richness of flavor that a lot of places just don’t get, and it’s that deep flavor of real-ness that I crave.  I am very passionate about food and I support restaurants that share this passion.  Please check them out and support them with me!

 

FORT WAYNE RESTAURANTS – Just the good stuff.
Amore’s Pizza (Amazing Chicago style pizza and homemade mini cinnamon rolls)
Asakusa Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar (Get the katsu-donburi.)
Sara’s Family Restaurant (Huge menu and good food)
