Our story
A neighborhood hearth
Copper Lantern opened in 2019 with a secondhand wood oven and a short menu. We still cook over oak and cherry, and we buy as much as we can from farms in east-central Indiana.
The kitchen bakes its own sourdough, smokes its own brisket and changes the menu a few times a year.
