**Indy’s Food Scene Sees Closures, Openings, and Wienermobile Mayhem**
INDIANAPOLIS – Indianapolis’s vibrant food scene is in constant flux, and this week brings a mix of closings, anticipated openings, and quirky events to whet your appetite for news.
Fountain Square’s **Easy Rider Diner**, known for its playful menu and “effortlessly cool” vibe, is closing its doors on May 24th. Owners, who also run the neighboring Hi-Fi music venue, cited upcoming construction at the Murphy Arts Center as the reason for the closure. The diner’s bar will remain open as part of the expanded Hi-Fi experience.
On the steak front, racing legend **Bobby Rahal’s** love for **Bowdie’s Chophouse** is bringing the Michigan-based steakhouse to Zionsville. The first Indy location at 10814 Creek Way is expected to open this month, offering a menu mirroring the Grand Rapids location, complete with classic steakhouse fare.
At the **Indianapolis Motor Speedway**, Aramark has unveiled new concession stand items for the Indy 500, including a pretzel-wrapped bratwurst and Buffalo “Totchos.” Race day attendees should also keep an eye out for the **Wienie 500**, a historic showdown between all six Oscar Mayer Wienermobiles representing different regions of the U.S. The race streams live on the FOX Sports app and will be broadcast during Sunday’s preshow.
**Good’s Candies**, a Pendleton-based confectioner with over a century of history, has opened a new location at Keystone at the Crossing. The opening comes after a period of turmoil following a controversial social media post and subsequent sale of part of the brand.
Finally, the Indianapolis community mourns the loss of **Albert Rene Trevino**, founder of **Rene’s Bakery**, who passed away on May 8th. Trevino was also known for his time as a Little 500 cyclist and manager for local band Johnny Socko.
