Hear us out: Caesar salad, french fries, and a martini. The combo has been called “the perfect meal” by The Washington Post and lauded by TikTokers across the world searching for the perfect marriage of textures and temperatures.
Here’s where you can find your own pairing in Indianapolis so you can judge for yourself.
1933 Lounge | Pair your meal with the Robin Lychee martini, made with Glendalough Rose gin, lychee, lemon, and a dash of bitters.
Union 50 | This restaurant spices up its salad with herbed goat cheese, giardiniera, and anchovies, while its fries are available in truffle oil, sea salt and parsley, and duck fat and rosemary varieties.
The Brass Ring Lounge | If you’re hungry for something a little more substantial than a salad, opt for a chicken caesar wrap here instead. Bonus: It’s under $10.
