Romantic Indiana Getaways Satisfy the Heart and the Stomach
Part One
By Carole Witsken
Snyder's career began when he moved to New Orleans and worked as a cook under a chef who encouraged him to go to culinary school. Snyder took the chef's advice and after graduating from the Culinary Institute in New York, landed a job in the Napa Valley where he trained under fabulous chefs in restaurants and a winery.
Deciding to move closer to home, Snyder worked at the well-regarded Chateau Normandy in Indianapolis. When that business closed, the owner of a restaurant in Peru convinced him to move home and become a co-owner. Snyder accepted his offer, renamed the restaurant and installed a new menu.
Grant Street Bar & Grill's menu changes at least twice a year. A big seller is the filet of beef, pan-seared with a brandy and mushroom cream sauce. Other favorites include fresh tuna with a pepper crust, chicken breast stuffed with spinach and feta cheese, pureed potatoes and a buerre blanc sauce of roasted garlic and kalamata olives. Popular desserts are a cr笥 brulee and a really rich chocolate mousse.
Grant Street Bar & Grill is open for lunch, Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and for dinner, Tuesday through Saturday, 5:30 to 9 p.m.
Also located in Peru is the Rosewood Mansion Inn, a bed and breakfast that's perfect for romantic getaways. The inn offers comfortable and affordable accommodations in an elegant Victorian setting. Rooms are available for $55 to $90 per night.
