The Masters Tournament, one of the most iconic events in professional golf, hits the Augusta National course from Thursday, April 9 through Sunday, April 12. We at INDYtoday aren’t exactly golf aficionados — but what we are experts on is food, so one of the most exciting moments in our book is the Masters Champions Dinner.
Each year, the most recent champion to join the “Masters Club” is in charge of curating a menu for other past winners to enjoy. Typically, curators use the opportunity to show off their roots and culture — for example, Hideki Matsuyama’s menu included sushi and Wagyu beef, while Jon Rahm’s centered on ibericos and tortilla de patatas.
Here are the local dishes we would pick for our all-star dinner spread... inspired by the cultural melting pot that we know and love Indy to be.
Signature drink: Peach margarita from La Margarita
Appetizers: Truffle whipped ricotta, fig jam, and spicy honey bruschetta from Maialina and a charcuterie board from Goose the Market
Second course: Thai green papaya salad from BODHI
Third course: Jerk lamb chops from Trap Got Sol & Jerk Junkies
Fourth course: “The War Pig” pork tenderloin sandwich from Chatham Tap
Dessert: Peanut butter pie from Yats
