IU Food and Beverage Tour
![](https://www.myiu.org/stories/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/IU-food-map-01.jpg)
Ever wondered if the city you’re visiting has an IU alumni-owned restaurant or bar? Alums from coast to coast—many of whom were inspired to open their businesses while studying at IU—are hard at work serving their communities.
So, the next time you’re in Westfield, Ind., swing by Urban Vines for a Hoosier Pilsner. Headed west? Grab a slice of Hoosier Pie at Crêpe Bar in Tempe, Ariz. And who knows, maybe you’ll run into “The Bachelor,” Ben Higgins, BS’12, at Generous Coffee in Denver or Murder By Death’s Adam Turla, ’03, and Sarah Balliet, ’04, at Pizza LUPO in Louisville.
Keep reading for our running list of alumni establishments.

(Flagship location)
Owner: Sam Cruz, ’01
Did anything about your time at IU influence your decision to have your own business?
SC: While I attended school, I worked at Pizza Express (now Pizza X) on campus. I worked with some great people in that organization, including owner Jeff Mease, ’84. I was really inspired by his approach to entrepreneurship. At that time, I didn’t realize that I was headed toward starting and owning my own company, but it really gave me the vision for how a local business can become connected to a community and the positive impact that can have. I’d also be lying if I didn’t mention the great microbreweries in Bloomington that afforded me my first tastes of craft beer. Bloomington Brewing Co. and Upland Brewing were my first loves when it comes to locally brewed artisan beer.
What do you recommend people order when they visit?
SC: If you’re coming to our flagship location in downtown Louisville, I highly recommend ordering our smoked brisket and a cup of burgoo (a traditional Kentucky stew), and washing it down with my favorite house-made beer, A Beer—our super American premium lager.

7520 S. Rural Road
Tempe, AZ 85283
Owner: Jeff Kraus, BGS’05
Did your time at IU influence your decision to have your own business?
JK: The main influence came from being a regular at Nick’s, Dagwood’s, Kilroy’s, and Mother Bears Pizza. These restaurants offered something for everyone. The food was good and affordable. The atmosphere was lively and diverse.
Do you have any IU-related food/drinks?
JK: Yes, the Hoosier Pie. The base is a buttery pie crust, and the filling is a custard.
What do you recommend people order when they visit?
JK: If they are food enthusiasts and adventurous, then the Grand Prix is a must. It’s a coffee crêpe with crispy pork belly, an over easy egg, and espresso maple syrup. If they’re looking for more of a classic, then [I recommend] the Papa K. It’s a crêpe filled with locally raised ham, soft scrambled eggs, roasted mushrooms, and mixed farm greens. [I also recommend] the First Time, which is filled with Nutella, brûléed banana, banana chips, and Nutella crumble.

Owner: Lee Kleiner, BS’98
Did anything about your time at IU influence your decision to have your own business?
LK: When I started school, I was a kid with big dreams and when I left, I was a young adult with the tools to achieve those dreams. As a Hoosier, you’re surrounded by a group of tremendous people who push you to become a better version of yourself. I’d always wanted to own my own business, and my time at IU gave me the knowledge, resources, and connections to do so.
What do you recommend people order when they visit?
LK: If it’s your first time, you definitely have to try a pita. Our sauces are top tier—try the signature red sauce (if you can handle the spice) or the creamy, garlic white sauce. Add on a side of falafel, and you’ll be set!

Can customers ever expect to see you sipping a cup of coffee at Generous?
BH: I was just in there this morning! When I’m in Denver, I will definitely be going into our shops.
Did anything about your time at IU influence your decision to have your own business?
BH: It gave me the confidence to at least try. I saw so many people from IU pursuing dreams and discussing solutions to world problems that could come in the form of business or philanthropy or both. IU has had a massive impact on my life.
What do you recommend people order when they visit?
BH: Our Honduran Latte and Haitian Latte are two tremendous drinks. They taste good, and a percentage of the sale goes toward injustice projects in both countries.

Did your time at IU influence your decision to have your own business?
AT: All the ethnic restaurants in Bloomington really opened my mind to cuisines I had never tried before, and [Sarah and I] would try practically every place that opened up in town. I think going to all those mom and pop restaurants definitely informed our choice to open one.
What do you recommend people order when they visit?
AT: Our most unique things are handmade pastas, which we often use very old techniques to make, and our pizza dough is definitely next level. It’s the kind of place where you’re definitely supposed to eat the crust.
Have any famous alums visited Pizza LUPO?
AT: A lot of great bands have come in. The first few that come to mind that we’ve fed are Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Gogol Bordello, Modest Mouse, and Iron & Wine.

Did anything about your time at IU influence your decision to have your own business?
MK: I graduated with a degree in theatre and drama to become a scenic artist. I worked at the Jacobs School of Music for several years after college, painting sets and creating props. In a lot of ways, it greatly helped my cake skills—they have a lot of overlapping similarities and techniques. One is just edible!
Have you created any custom IU cakes?
MK: We [make] quite a few IU graduation cakes in May and December. Parents often pick them up on their way through Indiana down to Bloomington or Indianapolis.
What do you recommend people order when they visit the bakery?
MK: I especially love [the flavor] chocolate bliss (chocolate cake, chocolate buttercream, chocolate ganache, and mini chocolate chips). Another favorite, especially for summer, is the [flavor] strawberry lemonade (lemon cake, lemon curd filling, and strawberry buttercream). All our flavors are available as both cake and cupcakes.

1149 S. Shelby St.
Louisville, KY 40203

Do you have any IU-related décor at Trouble Bar? Or any IU-related food/drinks?
NS: Our menu does pay homage to my alma mater with lots of Indiana-based distilleries. Trouble Bar has a fairly minimalist design style, so you won’t see too much IU swag around, but you’ll usually catch me behind the bar in an IU hat or a Little 500 sweatshirt.
What do you recommend people order when they visit?
NS: We are famous for our seasonal Old-Fashioned, so if you’re new to bourbon or whiskey, I recommend ordering one of those. If you’re an aficionado, you can try one of our 20-plus custom whiskey flights where you can sample rare single barrel picks or dive into global whiskies for something new. All our bartenders are Executive Bourbon Stewards, so they can help guide you through if you don’t know what to pick from our 200-plus whiskey list.

Tastings
tastingsbar.com
50 W. Washington St.
Indianapolis, IN 46204
Owner: Ross Bailey, BS’07
Did your time at IU influence your decision to have your own business?
RB: The campus has certainly changed since I graduated in 2007, and the business school is hardly recognizable from my time there, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the quality education. It takes a lot of long hours and sometimes sleepless nights to start a business, and the habits I learned at IU certainly gave me the perseverance needed to pursue running my own business in a competitive industry.
What do you recommend people order when they visit?
RB: The Tastings concept is built to showcase wine from regions all over the world. We have the largest by-the-glass wine list in the city of Indianapolis, so we encourage anyone interested in learning about wine to come visit the wine bar. We also have a really great tapas-style menu that is perfect for sharing with friends.
Have any famous alums visited Tastings?
RB: We see our fair share of celebrities come through Tastings when they’re in Indianapolis, but I think the most notable IU alum to visit was Mark Cuban, BS’81. I also had a wild experience talking to the nicest gentleman during his visit to Tastings. We were discussing Bloomington and all things IU for about half an hour before one of his friends approached and revealed that the man I was speaking with was Ed Sample, MS’71. Not only is he one of the most generous donors to Indiana University, he was a genuinely kind individual and a pleasure to speak with. The Sample Gates are such an iconic, huge part of IU. It was a great experience to meet the man behind the generous contribution.
