I grew up within walking distance of The Working Man's Friend, it's on the corner of Belmont and Turner on the West Side. I've never had the pleasure of eating there but I've always heard it's a great place to eat. I grew up in the 70's and early 80's so yeah, It's been there a minute.
I live in northern Indiana and we go to Indy once or twice a year, cousins live in Noblesville, this is super helpful because we can never decide where to eat!
Despite calling it Hoosier Pie mistakenly (It's Sugar Cream Pie), there was a time not too long ago that Wicks Sugar Creme Pie did outsell all other varieties as measured by Nielsen in our state's grocery stores.
I think we need to give sugar cream pie another chance next time we find a place that offers it. There’s probably something magical about it we’re missing haha. Cheers!
@@jimmyandbabstravels arrf look for amish versions - Sugar cream pie is the unofficial state pie of Indiana, where it is believed to have originated with Quaker settlers who came from North Carolina in the early 19th century, and thereafter settled in east-central Indiana, particularly around the cities of New Castle, Portland, Richmond, and Winchester.
I think you picked the wrong sugar cream pie. It should be a soft, custard filling, not dense and cheesecake consistency. You were absolutely on point, however, with Aristocrat, Workingman’s Friend, Rathskeller, and St. Elmo’s! Some of Indy’s best!

What I know of as a sugar cream pie is different than what you had pictured. I grew up in Indiana, and to me what you had pictured I know of as an “old fashioned sugar cream pie.” No Thanksgiving, Christmas, or family reunion is complete without an old fashioned sugar cream pie. I have never had a dense old fashioned sugar cream pie. The version you had is not representative of what I grew up with. It should not have any cheesecake quality. It is more of a custard based pie, with a lot of sugar.
You think the tenderloin you had was big but they are even bigger at the Edinburgh dinner. The first time I had St Elmo's cocktail sauce no one warned me about it. My reaction was probably worse than yours was. I was like OH My God! It's like they took a bowl of horseraddish and just got it wet with ketchup. Honestly, I don't see Indy as a foodie town. I wish we had better places
Thanks for tuning in Dave! I feel Indy is up and coming as a foodie city. Lots of new places inspiring competition and creativity. Lol I just googled the Edinburgh diner and that tenderloin is mmmassive 😂. Cheers and happy eats Dave!
Ive lived in Indiana for a majority of my life and have never heard of Hoosier Pie lmao. What about Mug N Bun where they make their own Root Beer or Spaghetti Factory?
It's not the same thing.. The batter is different and you are supposed to put yellow mustard, dill pickles, and onions on it.. It's not called a smashed tenderloin either.. It's a breaded tenderloin sandwich.. The one is this video is not an authentic Hoosier tenderloin.. It was twice as thick as it should be..
@@jimmyandbabstravelsmake sure you get the boneless wings. I normally don't like boneless wings but ale emporium has amazing wings. I always get hermanaki but I've been told the hot barbeque is really good too
We disagree, Indiana has upped it's food game over the years especially with a lot of talent coming from Chicago to Indy. Maybe give it another try? Happy Eats :)
Fun fact: the building that houses the Rathskeller was designed by Kurt Vonnegut's grandfather as a gathering place for the German-American community in Indianapolis.
Longs donuts are hands down the best, 100% agree. Have lived other places as well as tried donuts elsewhere and no donuts compare. Spot on with most of the rest. Sugar Cream Pie (born and raised here and never heard anyone call it Hoosier Pie) is I think more of a thing outside of Indianapolis. You can find it here, but its not as big of an Indianapolis thing.
14:11 When you say that horseradish loses its punch quickly, just like wasabi does, it reminds me of a video I watched the other day that claims in USA only 1% of our "wasabi" is real wasabi. And supposedly only 5% in Japan is real wasabi. So 99% of wasabi sold and served in USA is actually horseradish. Same plant family as wasabi, but obviously an exponentially cheaper and easier to source plant than real wasabi. I already knew there was almost no real wasabi here. But their claimed number was even worse than I thought. That video was "11 Of The Most Faked Foods In The World" on "Insider Business" UA-cam channel.
Young women deserve to be respected, like anyone else, but that won't happen until they stop speaking with that snotty, ignorant sounding, vocal fry accent. Jimmy and Babs videos are still very good, though.
It's important to note on Sugar Cream Pie, that it originated as a staple dessert in Indiana because it could be made with ingredients that would keep for extended periods of time. Settlers moving west wouldn't have access to alot of 'fancier' materials. The cool thing about the Sugar Cream Pie is that in many ways, its still the same recipie that was used by western settlers to the region over 200 years ago!
Lol! You two are so funny! That "Hoosier Pie" you had is nothing like a true Sugar Cream Pie. That was a very fancy upscale interpretation of a very common everyday mans pie. No one living outside the "City " would rèfer to it as a Hoosier Pie. You need to explore Wicks Pies in Winchester Indiana to get a better understanding. You should travel to Nicks Diner in Huntington Indiana to try the original home of the tenderloin sandwich, and have a true slice of homemade Sugar Cream Pie. I make a pilgrimage once a year from Tennessee to get this extravaganza! Keep traveling my friends!
Oh my gosh. I’m sorry, but I was so disappointed with your intro to Workingman’s Friend. Please, please, please, when visiting old places do your homework. It is not a diner. It is a tavern and has been for decades. It has a huge history. Gangsters, factory workers, mysterious death of one of the original brothers. Family tragedy and triumph. I’m not trying to be that internet jerk but you blew it big time.
Thanks for watching and for the details! We aren’t able to highlight the history of places as we are mainly discussing the foods but this is awesome to hear and we appreciate you highlighting it!
The Hoosier pie is actually called sugar cream pie. It is actually served at Lucas oil Stadium, where the Indianapolis Colts play. I don’t know anybody growing up where I did in the state of Indiana and all around me who didn’t know a sugar cream pie. Wicks, sugar, cream pie, which you can find and almost every Walmart in the state of Indiana it’s actually made by a local pie company in the state of Indiana. My sister-in-law was from the region and had never heard of sugar cream pie. We took to one Thanksgiving with her family, and now that is their absolute favorite pie. I have never known a person who tasteed sugar cream pie, hot sugar, cream pie and love it. People relatives live in other states for them to be shipped to them. I would try another cream pie and FYI, cream pie is the state pie for Indiana. actually, I was watching a talkshow a few years ago and they were doing state competition of local food. They put the sugar cream pie from Indiana up against the Keylime pie from Florida and guess what the sugar cream pie one every hose out of all five of them picked the sugar cream pie, and this is a major, talkshow done on a major network.
If you liked the atmosphere of Working Man’s Friend and truly unique you should check out John’s Famous Stew. You can get a pork tenderloin sandwich in a bowl with spicy beef stew poured over it.
Sugar cream pie is for sure an Indiana staple and if you were not aware of it…I won’t say you are not a real Hoosier, but I do have to wonder how far back your Hoosier roots go…:) Glad you featured it…and are now aware of it. Wicks Pie in Winchester makes a good commercial version and is a great place to visit…they have a cafe that sells all of their pies.
The Hoosier Pie is just a local name for some people I guess... never heard that name before. The Sugar Cream Pie itself originates from Indiana, and that does not look like a good pie at all...
I grew up with my grandmother making sugar cream pie for every get together. And it should not taste like a cheesecake, it should taste more like a custard. They did it wrong. Also, it is the state pie of Indiana. I have also had many other families and same as my grandmothers. I am 50 y/o and had a lot of it. Thanks for letting me know though, I will never eat there.
Ah thanks for sharing! We did only review one piece but they are highly recommended so please don't judge on just one piece when they have many other pies :)
Ive lived in Indiana all my life & never knew Sugar cream pie was a "thing". When I was a kid, the deluxe pie in most diners was apple/raisin with white icing on top.
I like Ireas Eye-Talian on S College - way Old Skool, could be in any large, Northern American city. Also, Caplingers fish monger. Try their calamari fries. A hard core crave of mine. Best at the AMP. Don't forget Good Morning Mama's on 54th in SoBro - best funky urban breakfast joint in Indianapolis.
@@jimmyandbabstravels They don't have a store in Indy but the best donut shop/bakery in northern Indiana in my opinion is Concannon's Bakery in Muncie.
This was the first time I heard of the Workingmans Friend as having ‘ambiance’. 😂 I love the hamburgers, wobbly tables and chairs and the fishbowl-size beers. As for St Elmos, it’s a great place for people watching while you’re eating a very fine steak.
Sugar cream pie is definitely a custard pie, most of my family has them every holiday, not my favorite though. The tenderloin sandwich I eat often. We even have the Lapel Tenderloin named after our town at the local restaurant.
I love Bluebeard. Im just sad they seldom offer dick confit any more.. But the nearby Upland brewery (which includes a restaurant) has duck leg sandwich that I like a lot.
I agree. I just don't like traditional Hoosier food. No offense, I was born and raised there, but once I ventured out and discovered new and delicious types of foods I realized just how "downhome midwestern" the food there is. I rarely go out to eat when I'm there because I can't find anything I like. Having said that, I used to bartend at the Ale Emporium and their food is pretty good. Their pizza is on point!
Workingman's burgers and Longs donuts are the absolute best!
We completely agree!!
Many Hoosiers will probly agree but Wicks Pies in Winchester,IN is "the Sugar Cream Pie".
Prove me wrong.
Oh! Thanks for the recommendation, we will have to check it out! Happy Eats!
If you are ever up towards Huntington, try the sugar cream and tenderloin at Nick's kitchen. Allegedly the place that invented the tenderloin
I'll counter that easily : Grey's brothers cafeteria in mooresville! Eleventy-Seven types of homemade pies you can purchase on the daily basis.
Apple Cobbler, Apple Pie, Apricot Pie, Blackberry Pie, Carrot Cake, Cheese Cake, Cherry Pie, Chocolate cake, Chocolate cream pie, hummingbird cake, lemon cream pie, peach cobbler, peanut butter pie, pecan pie, raisin pie, pumpkin pie, strawberry cake,
Rubarb pie, and strawberry pie.
I can't prove you wrong. They are my favorite! 🥧
You’re spot-on about the shrimp cocktail at St Elmo’s. It’s incredible!
nothing else compares!
51 years in Indiana and have never had Hoosier Pie.
Right? I grew up there and it was the first one I had!
guess it is more country thing. Indiana is not Indianapolis in toto. not even close
53 years in NE Indiana, never heard of Hoosier pie. Sugar cream pie is good. Not a staple either. Rhubarb is more pretty distinctive.. Pumpkin pie??
Nothing...NOTHING, is better than the Hoosier Sugar Cream Pie!!! No argument!!!
Where do you get your Sugar Cream Pie? We will have to go there when we visit next!
@@jimmyandbabstravelsbest sugar cream pie is from wicks pie in Winchester Indiana.

Hi there! Recently moved to Indiana in the speedway area and I happen to find this video very helpful and very accurate thank you!
Come to Irvington and eat at Jockamo’s, it’s a sit down Italian restaurant famous for there crack thin pizza crust

I think Mrs. Wicks pies will have something to say about pies in Indiana. Especially the Sugar Cream pie.

Chess pie is a much better style of pie similar but not the same.Try any good bbq joint for this.

This was the first time I heard of the Workingmans Friend as having ‘ambiance’. 😂 I love the hamburgers, wobbly tables and chairs and the fishbowl-size beers. As for St Elmos, it’s a great place for people watching while you’re eating a very fine steak.
Haha well a good diner ambiance 🤣 maybe character would have been a better description. Thanks for watching and happy eats!
Sugar cream pie is definitely a custard pie, most of my family has them every holiday, not my favorite though. The tenderloin sandwich I eat often. We even have the Lapel Tenderloin named after our town at the local restaurant.
Love a good tenderloin!
Its actually made from pork loin, not pork tenderloin but all the restaurants call it that
Ah thanks for the clarification! Thanks so much for tuning in and happy eats friend!
Working man’s friend is the best hamburger in the United States and the beer is super cold
So glad we discovered it! Happy Eats!
Longs donuts don't taste the same. They're good when they're hot...
We did try a few other donut places but nowhere was as impressionable as Long’s. Glad they are still in business. Cheers and happy travels!
very nice!
Omg awesome video
look less at each other and more at the cam lol
I just can’t take my eyes off of her 👀👀
I go to st. Elmo's all the time love it you should try superiors deli
Yes we love St. Elmo's! Do you mean Shapiro's Deli?
@@jimmyandbabstravels Yes I used talk text so sometimes I don't say the right thing lol
That horseradish sauce is unreal.
Nothing else like it!
Uh Milktooth, Bluebeard?
We have Bluebeard in our brunch episode 😋
I love Bluebeard. Im just sad they seldom offer dick confit any more.. But the nearby Upland brewery (which includes a restaurant) has duck leg sandwich that I like a lot.
Next time try a persimmon pie.
Thanks Casey! We’ve added it to our list, happy travels!
Naw. Persimmon pudding - the buttermilk kind.
St Elmo it totally OVERATTED!
But the shrimp cocktail sauce is 🔥🔥🔥
Foods horrible in Indy
I guess we haven’t eaten ALL the food in Indy, but we think these places are good ☺️
There’s lots of great places to eat here, just do not go to the $10 a plate restaurants like Steak ‘n Shake! Hahahaha
I agree. I just don't like traditional Hoosier food. No offense, I was born and raised there, but once I ventured out and discovered new and delicious types of foods I realized just how "downhome midwestern" the food there is. I rarely go out to eat when I'm there because I can't find anything I like. Having said that, I used to bartend at the Ale Emporium and their food is pretty good. Their pizza is on point!
