INDIANAPOLIS — Whether you're a worldly foodie or you consider your tastes on the tamer side, delicious surprises are on the menu as local chefs come together to wow you.

Indianapolis Monthly's 2025 Best Restaurants event brings together some of central Indiana's finest cuisine so you can get a taste you might not have otherwise tried before.

We got a chance to see a live chef demonstration when WRTV's Kaitlyn Kendall met with guest chef Nick Detrich of Magdalena in Indianapolis.

"I never would have ordered that," Kaitlyn later said of the cucumber-and-mole dish he prepared for us. "But it was unbelievable."

You can see our full video of his demonstration in the player with this story. It'll give you a better idea of what the event holds in store.
