“Farm To Curb” is the theme at The Mug, located at 117 Apple Street in Greenfield, Indiana. They attain all of their meat products locally from Tyner Pond Farm, which raises their products “the old-fashioned way” with no antibiotics. They also use fresh local products when in season and available.
I tried the breaded tenderloin and branched out with the bacon-wrapped apple slices which were deep-fried, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, then drizzled with caramel sauce. However, the best item was the Garlic Fries!
The kitchen area was open and I was able to watch the entire process. The fresh cut fries were tossed in a large silver bowl with olive oil, fried, then seasoned with parsley and fresh garlic. The aroma alone peaked my attention. They were golden brown, crunchy, and delicious.
For some history while in Greenfield, be sure to visit the James Whitcomb Riley home where “The Hoosier Poet” was born. Or, “The gobble-uns ‘ll git you, Ef you don’t watch out!”
