sugar cream pie

Doritos, Mikesell’s, Orville Redenbacher’s, Papa John’s, and of course pork tenderloin all make an appearance on the Hoosier Food Pyramid.

Of all the Hoosier cultural emblems, none is as sweet and soothing as sugar cream pie.

What makes this Columbus institution really sweet is the counter-side charm of Wilma Hare and her fellow soda jerks, who will pull you an ice cream soda the way it was in 1900 and serve it with a side of sass: “When that ice cream hits the carbonation, it will explode like a volcano. And I will laugh at the look of panic on your face.”
