Humble Beginnings

Stopped in Dale, Indiana for lunch at Windell's Cafe. A small restaurant started in 1947 and still going today. Serving homemade comfort food like meatloaf and fried chicken, rhubarb pie and peach cobbler. Stop in if you're ever down this way. Be sure to get the cornbread.


Next Indiana stop, the boyhood home of a compassionate man.

Abraham. A great man.

Windell's looks like the the
kind of place I like to eat at
when I'm cruising through small
town America. Non fast food all
the way.
