Food For ThoughtWhat’s better than one new restaurant downtown? Try three and with totally different locations and styles there is literally something for most every taste. This is also one of the rare (or so it seems) months that this reviewer is pretty favourable with all three eateries. So what are they?

—We may be a bit late because they have been open a few months, but we did finally get to Pizzology, Neal Brown’s downtown location (608 Massachusetts Avenue) of his famous northside pizza parlour.

—And we got in the first week to enjoy meatballs at Mimi Blue Meatballs (874 Massachusetts Avenue).

—And we so love Burgerhaus (9th Street at the Canal) that we have been back twice since we first visited to see what the fuss (well deserved) was all about when friends beat us to it.

But first things first... Chef Neal Brown has a great reputation for his restaurants and recently moved Libertine from East Washington Street over to Mass. Ave. to share a roof with Pizzology; putting two good places in one building at Mass. Ave. and East Street. We can’t speak as much to Libertine as we are not big drinkers, though they are one of the few area bars with Absinthe on the shelf and a lot of other rare and unique elixers, so worth a visit if you are into libations beyond the usual 10 beers and well drinks most clubs and lounges “proudly serve”.But our visit to Brown’s downtown location was a recent day for lunch, and since we had work beckoning afterwards, we stuck to the food and passed on the alcohol. And at Pizzology that’s not a bad consolation prize at all. Christian, our waiter, did a very credible job of serving the food, explaining what are some very complex specials and menu items and delivering what we ordered in a timely, smiling manner.I started with the San Marzano Tomato Soup because, well, I love soup in almost any size, shape and flavour (aside from tortilla which for some reason I just do not care for). Neal did not disappoint with the size of portion or the flavour of this Italian tomato soup, though his kitchen did let him down a bit as we had to send the first bowl back for reheating. Maybe restaurants are all scared of lawsuits from too hot beverages and soups but we seem to send a lot of soup back these days because well, soup (aside from gespacho and other cold ones) is supposed to be HOT. Recently we sent bowls back at several places downtown, including Buca di Beppo and now Pizzology. At least the latter more than made up for the wait with great flavour and tomatoes which screamed home made right here. It’s the way soup should be and is 2nd only to the wonderful soup selection at Soupremacy on the Circle which wins that race hands down any day.

Next it was on to pizza (below) and this required some help from waiter Christian. Pizzology has lunch specials weekdays 11 to 2, but figuring things out is a bit more confusing than we’d like. See how you’d do as this is what the menu says: “Choice of two: Pizzetta Persona, Small Chop Salad or Daily House Made Tomato Soup. Choice of one: Fountain Soda or Fresh Brewed Iced Tea.” To us that means you get a pizza and soup or salad and a drink for what was it? $10? Lost my notes on that one. Anyway the issue here is the pizza is just cheese, so if you want anything else, that’s an add-on meaning that bill can add up a bit. We also added to ours as we wanted both the soup and salad, though the soup was the clear winner in taste and memory.

As for the pizza, the four at our table were divided on what we thought with two loving every bite and two (including yours truly) feeling the pizza was dry and the wood fired oven made the crust too burned for our liking. The remaining two raved over the less-saucy brand of pizza Pizzology turns out and said the wood oven gave theirs just the right flavour. Also, I have a confession: I am one of the few out here who not only like, but adore, anchovies and Pizzology uses gourmet ones so not the things which pop out of the cans at the grocery. Even for us they were a bit “fishy” but we still enjoyed every bite though a bit more sauce on the pizza would have added a lot. Total bill for four was a bit past $45 and we did toss in a more-than-ample tip for Christian, who did a great job explaining, keeping our lunch on track and making soup hot!

Next, we took advantage of a gift card a friend gave us to try the new Burgerhaus. The hardest part is FINDING this elusive eatery whose official address is 335 West 9th Street. The easier way to find it is to either go to www.indy.burgerhausrestaurants.com and then follow the link to directions (they are two full pages AND a map!) or just go west on 9th Street from Illinois or Capitol and drive until you can go no further without hitting a building or driving into the canal. At 9th & Senate you’ll start seeing signs with Burgerhaus’ logo and directions and you can either walk down from the street to the entrance on the canal or opt for the parking garage (it’s in the 9C apartments on the lower (canal) level). Be warned if you do plan to partake of any of their massive beer menu that you will want to bring a designated driver as the garage entrance and directions (there are signs --- a LOT of signs inside) takes a strong will, eager mind and a clear head. They do validate parking for the first two hours and as we did lunch all we needed was about 60-90 minutes so parking the Jeep was a freebie.

So what about the food? Fantastic. Burgers (that’s ours at right) range from an American (Applewood bacon, bleu cheese, mayo, mustard and so on) to an Aussie (complete with a fried egg) and our fave — the Haus Burger which is a basic with cheese and then some add-ons like $1.50 for the wonderful bacon. It was also served rare (realy rare) just as ordered so kudos to the chef! Burgers range from the Haus plain for $9.50 (Whoever started this damn practice of saying $9.5 and omitting that final 0 in prices should be drawn, quartered and placed on a bun themself!) to $14 for a burger featuring chorizo and more. In between the choices are massive and all the burgers come with a cute (and large) basket filled with wonderfully-seasoned fries.

Page 7: Up downtown march 2015

Up Downtown / Indianapolis 03.15 On The Web At: www.updowntown.net Page 7

But before you get to the main dish, we were asked by a friend after our first visit to Burgerhaus, “You did order the fried pickles, right?” and when we said no he let out a loud groan and told us “You have to!” so next visit we did and all we can say is he’s very very right. Unlike most places where the fried pickles are a few spears arranged on a plate and some dipping sauce, at Burgerhaus the portion ($7.50) is huge, filling a large bowl (at right) and the peppercorn dipping sauce is a great addition. Even with four at the table (OK, OK one a confirmed pickle hater) we didn’t finish them, so our advice is like our friend’s: Order the pickles!

Another not to miss is one of the Burgerhaus’ milkshakes. They come in the traditional flavours and then a flavour or two of the month. One of the latter on our last visit was some pie or such, but the guy at our table into his milkshakes

opted for a trad chocolate ($5) and proclaimed it good to the last slurp. Burgerhaus Indianapolis is a branch of a Valparaiso Burgerhaus and may or not be the start of a chain as nobody seemed to know when we asked staff. And the website while great with parking and location, menu and all the rest has what we feel is a stupid story about a fictional “Sir J.E. Burghstein” and not the restaurant’s real story and history under the “Our Story” headline. Whoever sold that cock-and-bull to the owners needs to find himself on a bun and a bit of real history of what’s a great restaurant replacing this piece of pulp fiction!

Lunch for four with the shake, the add-ons to the burgers and the magnificent pickles was about $80 which is not cheap, but the service was stellar and the atmosphere great. We can only imagine how much better it will be when Spring creeps into town and the huge canal-side outdoor cafe can open. We will be back!

And finally, last, but not least by any means is Mimi Blue Meatballs, the new Mass. Ave. eatery brought to us by the Kosene family who are better known to downtowners as the developers of the Hudson, Packard and a lot of the area over on the East end of downtown.

In this case, it’s food they are developing and so far they are doing a decent job, though the menu here is a bit confusing. Not near as bad as the one at Pizzology, but a bit confusing. As one might gather from the name, Mimi Blue Meatballs (named for the owner’s mum Mimi Kosene) serves meatballs — ONLY meatballs aside from a small selection of sides (including an awesome polenta). The big issue is they offer several kinds of balls (classic, turkey, veggie, beef and a “special”) and there are choices of sauces, the number of balls one desires and how you want them: as balls or on brioche buns as “sliders”.

The issue is further confused as menu sheets are given to every person and are laminated. A container of marking pens on the table is also available and diners check off their orders by writing on the laminated menus and handing them to a staffer. It’s cute, but confusing and to our small minds it would be a bit easier for the waitresses and waiters to just have iPads and do the ordering in a more traditional way. But as we said: we went opening week and things were still falling into place.

Once the confusion ended with orders, what came out of the kitchen was delicious as three of the five at our table found it wonderful, one gave it a so-so and only one said she’d be waiting awhile until the kinks got unkinked before she’d try it again.Our meatballs (we did the “4 Baller”) included two beef and two classic. They were all succulent, juicy and the sauces we picked (a garlic cream and a mushroom) were both very good. Only complaint was the kitchen was a little stingy on the sauce and that nobody told us when we ordered an add-on of linguine that checking “served on the side” would mean it would have no sauce at all.

Next time I’ll check the “served under” box and get my linguine with the excellent mushroom or garlic cream incorporated.Speaking of sauces, one table mate who’s used to the bolognese at Palomino in the mall said the spicing at Mimi Blue was “weak” but this guy’s got an asbestos mouth apparently as our taste found it just about right. Meanwhile another of our table when asked to comment on the meal later sent a text which reads: “Loved the atmosphere. The writing on the menu was a cute idea. The actual meatball was good. Both sauces were lacking in flavour.”

In other words the jury’s still out on a split verdict, but we do plan to go back when we get time. The pricing was not unreasonable, but came in fairly close to Burgerhaus and for that money this reviewer

would choose the pickles, shakes and burgers, even though I suppose it takes balls to say that in so many words!

So there you have it. Three new places to try (or try again if you have already been) and more on the way in what’s becoming a culinary downtown and yet another reason we choose to live here and not in Carmel or Greenwood!

Next month, we bid a fond farewell to our readers with a final column. And to do that we offer our pick of the very best of all the restaurants we have ever written about here in the past 23 years. Don’t miss it. See you in April.

April’sDeadline

Tuesday 17th MarchPapers On Street: Friday 27th March

CINCINNATI—Nostalgia led me here over Valentine’s Day weekend to see a British musical icon of the 60s and 70s, Al Stewart. Urbane, literate, witty and often impishly whimsical, Al Stewart’s songs have withstood the test of time — literally, since time is frequently the main focus of his songs.

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, but raised in the small English coastal town of Wimborne Minster near Bournemouth, Stewart was a fixture of the early 60s folk revival in clubs and coffee bars around London. He roomed for a while with a young Paul Simon, who was also trying his luck playing the British folk circuit. Stewart’s first four albums were critically well received without breaking any sales records. His next two albums, Past, Present and Future (1973) and Modern Times (1975) were not only well-received but reached the lower echelons of the U.S. pop charts.

With his next two releases, The Year of the Cat (1976) and Time Passages (1978), Stewart hit the giddy heights of pop stardom on both sides of the Atlantic, with both albums going platinum in the U.S.A. This career-turning point led Stewart to relocate to California, where he has lived since the mid-70s.

No longer a top sports stadium draw, Stewart plays mostly intimate concert halls across the U.S. and around the world. I was fortunate enough to see him play in Saugatuck, Michigan, in October to an audience of probably not more than a hundred people. On Valentine’s Day, he played to a full house at the charming and architecturally beguiling Fairfield Community Arts Centre in Fairfield, Ohio, just a few miles north of Cincinnati. The theatre, seating just 237 devoted fans, was treated to an evening of lyrical, reflective, and thought-provoking songs drawn mostly from Stewart’s two most popular U.S. albums, but covering his entire five-decade career.

Accompanied by his touring guitarist, Dave Nachmanoff (who opened both sets with three songs of his own), Stewart sang, chatted and regaled the audience with stories that placed many of the songs in their original contexts. A noted oenophile (that’s wine lover in case you didn’t know!) with a finely tuned feel for all things historical, Stewart’s music might be dismissed as appealing to a limited palate by some. But for genuine fans, his philosophical observations about the sweep of time and its shaping of human history are as much appreciated as a vintage 1961 Château Latour.

Stewart joked about being the founding father (along with W.H. Auden and Bob Dylan) of rap music when he introduced Soho (Needless to Say), arguing that the rhythmic consonantal beat of lines like:

Rainstorm, brainstorm, faces in the maelstromHuddle by the puddles in the shadows where the drains runHot dogs, wet clogs clicking up the sidewalkDisappearing into the booze shopRainbow queues stand down by the newsstand, waiting for the late showPin ball, sin hall, minds in free fallChocolate-coloured ladies making eyes through the smoke-pall

spawned a generation of breathy, bass-driven rap singers.

Stewart displayed his linguistic dexterity elsewhere in punning song titles such as Flying Sorcery and Catherine of Oregon, decrying, in , the lack of the use of simile in song composition (metaphor being more highly favoured by most pop songwriters). During the song he piles on the similes, climaxing with “Like a figure skating gigolo looking for a heart to steal/Like a simulated orgasm suddenly becoming real.”

One of Stewart’s stories recounted the time he played in a band supporting the Rolling Stones, before they became a household name. Stewart described the bedraggled band members looking as if they had all just woken from sleeping in their clothes.

Sharing the same dressing room, Stewart asked Mick Jagger when the group would be changing into their stage clothes. “We’re wearing our bloody stage clothes,” Jagger whined.

Introducing the spectral Broadway Hotel, Stewart led the audience on a ramblingly surreal introduction about a Czechoslovakian gymnast trying to achieve a quadruple twist while bouncing on her hotel bed. This was clearly smoke and mirrors in a song about isolation and the search for love by two people in a lonely hotel room. And how many recording artists playing a small theatre in Ohio can draw on a repertoire of not one, but two, songs about former presidents from the Buckeye State? Stewart can (and did), playing both Warren Harding and Like William McKinley!

Stewart saved the best until last in both sets, closing the first with Time Passages and the second with The Year of the Cat. By the end of the concert the audience was on its feet in admiration. He may be close to 70 (as were most members of the audience) but Stewart knows how to keep his customers satisfied.

Al Stewart plays around 30 or 40 shows a year in the U.S., quite a few of which are in the Midwest. Keep an eye out for him next time he passes through!

The day following the concert, I visited the Cincinnati Art Museum for the exhibition Masterpieces of Japanese Art. The show, which runs until late August, features around 100 works from the museum’s permanent Japanese art collection, many donated by Cincinnatians who travelled and lived in Japan. While the exhibition contains ivory carvings, armour, dolls, masks, costumes and textiles, my favourite pieces were the delicate ethereal paintings, screens and prints from the 16th to 18th centuries. One long scroll features an allegorical depiction of class differences in human society using frogs to represent the different social classes. It is full of whimsy and fun. Another scroll (vertical rather than horizontal this time) features 100 different types of birds ascending heavenward.

Unlike the Indianapolis Museum of Art (which, since it was remodelled, has the feel of a modern airport) the Cincinnati Art Museum feels like an old museum with atmosphere and a sense of history. I was particularly impressed, on entering the building, by a long hallway featuring a kind of “greatest hits” of the museum’s collections. There is a Gainsborough, a Warhol (yes, a can of Campbell’s Soup!), and my favourite, “Undergrowth with Two Figures,” a haunting Van Gogh panorama painted shortly before his death. It is a dazzling work whose two ghostly lovers spring to life before your eyes.

Almost as impressive, though in a much less ostentatious way, is the Cincinnati Wing of the museum, housing an array of art by native Cincinnatians. An extremely underrated group of artists, the wing includes works by Frank Duveneck, John Henry Twachtman, Robert Frederick Blum and Edward T. Hurley, among others.

Cincinnati deserves its moniker as the “Queen City” (or, in the words of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, “the Queen of the West”). It is architecturally diverse, culturally rich, and surrounded by rolling hills that have earned comparisons with the Rhineland of Germany. And it is only about two hours drive from Indianapolis.

Hackin’ The NetBy Ted Fleischaker / Up Down Town Publisher

It seems odd that the first thing on this computer columnist’s agenda for March is turning off my computers, phone and as many devices as I am able, but that’s what I plan to do...and I’d like to suggest that readers take a break and mark the annual National Day Of Unplugging from sundown Friday 6th March through sundown on Saturday the 7th.

The whole thing is actually the brainchild of a Jewish group which is why it’s a sundown to sundown, but here, I’ll let them tell it in their own words:

Do you have multiple cell phones? Take your iPad to the beach on vacation? Ever find it hard to get through a conversation without posting an update to Facebook? Is your computer always on?

We increasingly miss out on the important moments of our lives as we pass the hours with our noses buried in our iPhones and BlackBerry’s, chronicling our every move through Facebook and Twitter and shielding ourselves from the outside world with the bubble of “silence” that our earphones create.

If you recognise that in yourself – or your friends, families or colleagues— join us for the National Day of Unplugging, sign the Unplug pledge and start living a different life: connect with the people in your street, neighbourhood and city, have an uninterrupted meal or read a book to your child.

The National Day of Unplugging is a 24 hour period – running from sundown to sundown – and starts on the first Friday in March. The project is an outgrowth of The Sabbath Manifesto, an adaption of our ancestors’ ritual of carving out one day per week to unwind, unplug, relax, reflect, get outdoors, and connect with loved ones.

Who’s behind this?

The National Day of Unplugging is a project of Reboot. Reboot affirms the value of Jewish traditions and creates new ways for people to make them their own. Inspired by Jewish ritual and embracing the arts, humour, food, philosophy and social justice, we produce creative projects that spark the interest of young Jews and the larger community...

So why unplug? Well we got the best answer to that we could imagine when we were telling a friend who was visiting for dinner on a recent night about our plans to participate again this year and she said, “What? No iPhone? (laughter) I would never want to do that!” and we were on to the next topic. But her reaction is precisely the reason why I urge readers to unplug. If you can’t make a “whole” 24 hours, try for three hours or a half day, but make an effort.

I could go on and on and on about studies showing taking that iPhone or iPad to bed are bad for sleep — from some showing the wavelength of light they emit not being conducive to sleep on down to their just plain being distractions. But instead I’ll just say try a day off from your devices. You will be surprised (as we were last March) at how fast 24 hours passes and how much fun reading a book, playing a board game or, if you simply must have your news fix, watching a regular TV or listening to the radio can be. It’s just 24 hours so give it a try and let us know how it comes out for you.

For more info on the day and the activities (and a place to post your picture showing why you unplug) visit www.nationaldayofunplugging.com But do it before the 6th of March ‘cause that day you should be offline!

On a more normal bit of chatter for this column, sometime this Spring we hear the long-awaited Apple watch will be hitting the stores. We have only read the same things everyone has about it, but we will say we are still not sure if we intend to buy one.

The reason is we have a ton of watches and we are already so dependent upon our devices that we aren’t sure we wish to add the modern-day version of Dick Tracy’s two-way wrist radio to our personal arsenal. We do know a lot of folks are counting down the days and minutes until they can plop one of these on their wrist and if you are amongst that group our sources say April should be the month you get your chance. We likely will at least try one out and see what functionalities they end up offering and how well they connect with the devices we already have. Buy one? A definite maybe.

On a final topic — and this one seems to pop up a lot around here — remember that with the internet you are supposed to get what you pay for so if you wonder why those games do not work or Netflix spits and starts or that radio station in Toronto you adore won’t play all the time, you might just want to consider your connection speed. And I mean not only what you pay for, but what you are getting.

My sister told the best story about this to my late father many years ago. It’s so fun it bears repeating in this era where it seems we all want higher, faster and better internet. The story dates back to the old dial-up days and dad was convinced his 28k dial-up was the deal. Meanwhile sis and I and everybody else was going with the then-grand speed of 56k modems and a few of us were looking forward to this “miracle” we’d heard might be coming called DSL.

Anyway, dad was unhappy about one of his games not loading and whined at sis who said “Look, pretend we are all on a highway. Ted and I have brand new cars capable of 150 miles an hour. Some people driving have VW’s and you...you are on a bicycle!”Dad got a huge laugh out of it then called to get one of those new 56k modems, but this same principle still applies and one of the biggest complaints/requests for info we get here involves why this or that doesn’t work as planned. And 85% of the time the answer could be the very same one sis gave dad all those years ago — the speed of your download will make a huge difference.

Or to return to the car analogy, even the fanciest sports car will not perform well if all you have to drive it on is a dirt road, so before you bash your computer and pull your hair out wondering why that fancy top-of-the-line device doesn’t function as advertised, consider the speed you are buying from your internet service provider (ISP) and then what you are getting.

First, find your bill from your ISP. If you look you will see what service speed you pay for. Companies often try and “cover up” those numbers as folks like this writer tend to make them prove that what I’m buying and paying for is what I am getting. Those “cover-ups” usually are by calling services things like “elite” and “universal” and “ultra” or “basic” but not stating right up front what speed “ultra” should really deliver. If you can’t find that number refer to the provider’s website or, failing that, contact them and simply ASK.

Next, check and see what you are really getting. That’s easy. www.speedtest.net is the gold standard when it comes to testing your internet speed. Simply go to the site (or use their app on the pad or phone) and run a speed test. Run a couple if the results are inconclusive and then compare the number with what you are buying.

If it’s relatively close then you are getting what you are paying for and it might be time to upgrade to a faster tier or speed — IF (and that’s a BIG IF) there’s one available. Where I live in downtown Indianapolis the best anybody offers is a paltry (by today’s standards) 16 Megs. Friends elsewhere get 50, 60 or 100 and sadly often for the same money, but 16 is what we can get and thus when I see 14.8 or 15.9 all I can say is I am getting what I am paying for.

But what if you do pay for 16 Megs and the test shows four? Several things need to be checked. First, the ever-constant whining from this writer to reboot that modem. That’s a full reset and can get you and the net back in synch. If doing that doesn’t do the trick, check all your connections, test again and if you are still seeing no joy, contact your provider’s tech department and see what they offer as a solution.Do remember that WiFi devices often get less download speed than wired, so while you’d LIKE to have that 16 Megs on the iPad, you might have to settle for 14. To play fair, test on a wired computer and turn off any data hogs like music downloads, chats, etc. during the test so your system gets 100% of the bandwidth offered. Remember that in today’s world of ever heavier demands on your modem and speed you will need to pay for what you get, but keep in mind, too if you are already paying and not getting, you should contact that ISP and politely ask what they can do about it — including a refund for services not rendered or a rebate for not meeting their own standards.

You cannot, as the Stones used to sing, always get what you want, but you can get what you need... And you should always try and get what you pay for!See you in April.

Life coachingmight be the answer

you’ve been looking for.Coaching can help you create your own best version of yourself, the person you know you can be!

Have you ever said any of these things to yourself or your friends? I’m better than this. Why do I keep doing these things? I keep sabotaging myself. Life seems so easy for other people. Why can’t I move ahead? Why am I alone? I can’t get my act together enough to get anything done. I’m tired of beating myself up. Is this all there is? I feel like I’m just going through the motions. I’m a fraud. If people really knew me, they wouldn’t like me. I don’t fit in anywhere.Coaching isn’t about digging up the past. It’s about creating your very best future, one goal at a time, and letting go of the negative thinking and limiting beliefs that are holding you back.
