Swoon List: Mikado, Elena Ruz, And More

Pork dumplings by Mikado

Suzanne Krowiak

Five #IMSwoon things we’re craving for carryout right now.

Pork wonton dumplings with chili oil, ordered on Market Wagon, made by Mikado Japanese Restaurant (148 S. Illinois St., 317-972-4180).

A collection of Cuban culinary delights including chicken croquettes, beef-chicken-and-Wisconsin-cheese-curds empanadas, delicately crispy mariquitas (fried plantain strips), and super flavorful Miami garlic fries at Elena Ruz at Black Circle Brewing Co. (2201 E. 46th Street, 317-828-7068), which reopened for curbside carryout this weekend.

The make-and-take dinner for two by Brugge Brasserie (1011 E. Westfield Ave., 317-255-0978), which includes two pounds of PEI mussels in a broth of your choice, a side salad, and crusty baguette. A bottle of wine or housemade beer completes the meal for an additional cost.

Spent-grain crackers made with Sun King Wee Mac beer by 4 Birds Bakery, paired with homemade compound butter with pickled and roasted ramps.

Speaking of Sun King, the brewery’s popular Sunlight Cream Ale, which gets a citrus-y upgrade with the new Orange Vanilla flavor, the perfect post–lawn mowing brew. Four-, six-, and 12-packs, crowlers, and growlers can be ordered online or over the phone from any of Sun King’s four locations. Call when you arrive, and they’ll deliver the goods right to your trunk.

We want to see your #IMSwoon finds. If you’re around town and see something tasty, post it to Instagram and tag us @IndyMonthly.
