We Think You’ll Like This 👀

🍽️ Dish: Cheese Wheel Pasta
📍 Where: Cortona’s Italian Cuisine & Wine Bar, Fortville

Stephanie’s pick | Editor, Edible Indy

For pasta and cheese lovers, this dish is pure indulgence. A 100-pound Italian cheese wheel is rolled tableside, splashed with Hanson’s organic grape vodka, and set ablaze to melt into a rich, creamy sauce. Fresh pasta is tossed right in, soaking up every ounce of parmesan decadence.

It’s not just dinner- it’s a tableside show you’ll be dreaming about long after the last bite. 🧀🍝

We Think You’ll Like This 👀

🍽️ Dish: Classic Cheesesteak (+ don’t skip the Bacon & Beer Cheese Fries)
📍 Where: Hoagies & Hops

👋 Shane’s pick | Senior Producer, Edible Indytrowbridge

You don’t have to be from Philly (which Shane isn’t) to know this cheesesteak is the real deal. Hoagies & Hops serves up authentic flavors- think whiz, witout- or swap in American or provolone if that’s more your style.

And the perfect sidekick? Those bacon + beer cheese crinkle fries. 🥖🍟

💬 Fries first or sandwich first- what’s your move?
📸 Save this post so you’re ready next time hunger hits.
