Swoon List: Including Big Lug, Kuma’s Corner, and SoBro cold-brewed coffee

A bottle of chilled SoBro Cold Bru—a ready-to-drink line of cold-brewed coffees bottled locally.

 

The fully loaded Goatsnake burger at Kuma’s Corner (1127 Prospect St., 317-929-1287). Its massive, aggressively seasoned patty sits under a smear of herbed goat cheese, poblano-corn relish, and buttermilk-breaded red onion slivers. A drizzle of lemon vinaigrette adds an unexpectedly bright flavor note.
