Charlie Kimball’s Top 5 Indianapolis Restaurants

Bluebeard
This one was bound to get on a list of great restaurants. Chef Abbi Merris has long been famous for her magical ways with seafood, and the restaurant is worth a visit even if all you want to do is sip cocktails. “We love Bluebeard. I’ve been paired with Chef Abbi [Merris] at the Rev event and she always does great work. She always does a great job of creating flavor profiles that are so interesting. When I won my first race, a bunch of friends and I went to Bluebeard to celebrate. And then for my wife’s birthday in October, we asked Chef Abbi to just kind of feed us, and she built a menu for us.” Who knows if you will catch Kimball and his wife at the restaurant on your next visit, but the gorgeous patio and the standout menu are worth a visit no matter the sports stars that may be sitting just a few feet away.

Tinker Street
Peter George’s newest restaurant has been a boon for his own brand as well as the Herron-Morton neighborhood, where Kimball calls home. “It’s three or four blocks from our house, so it’s easy to go to, and we were really impressed with the atmosphere. Now that the weather’s nice, every night, driving home from practice at the IMS, it has just been packed. That’s such a great thing for this neighborhood.” The new spot is known for its respectful treatment of high-quality local produce and an outstanding wine list.
