Workingman's Friend double cheeseburger · Indianapolis
Two thin all-beef patties seared hard on a flat-top, with melted American cheese, mustard, onion and pickle on a soft white bun. A reliable Indianapolis pick.
Workingman's Friend opened in 1918 as the Belmont Lunch, run by Macedonian immigrant Louis Stamatkin in Haughville on the near-west side. The smash double has been the signature ever since, served the same way at the same long counter. The name came from Louis allowing gas-station workers to run tabs during strikes.
