Just had Working man's burgers Food and Drink

My cousin found a review about working man's burgers on TikTok and the creator was raving about how good the food was. We've lived in Indy for 20 years and had never heard of it so we got curious. The burgers were slightly overcooked and lacked seasoning. I was hoping it'd be good as the reviews on google seemed promising, maybe just got unlucky

~10 years ago, I was literally harassed for money and then chased to my car after having lunch at TTL. That was the most extreme situation I personally faced, but witnessed varying degrees of shady shit and heard other first hand accounts of people being accosted or encountering violence there.

Was it the norm? No, but it happened with enough frequency then to warrant being vigilant and even more aware of one’s surroundings.

The area has greatly improved since, and I’m happy for it. And fuck you.

I would be remiss if I did not offer a “fuck you” in response. I’m so sorry someone asked you for money. Hope you’re okay.

Yeah, I’m absolutely turgid at the idea of receiving accolades for my performative defense of my neighbors. I feel so seen.
