  3. Scratchtruck’s grilled cheese—a buttery stack of Muenster and Colby-Jack cheeses, red-wine braised beef short rib, caramelized onions, and arugula, served on toasted bread. Don’t dawdle.They only make 12 a day.
  4. Northside Social‘s (6525 N. College Ave., 317-253-0111) rich, cake-y skillet cornbread, gently laced with jalapeno and schmeared with butter.
  5. The dessert nachos at Binkley’s (5902 N. College Ave., 317-722-8888)—triangles of crispy elephant ear-like dough dusted with sugar and cinnamon and topped with a scattering of pretty chopped fruit.
