The Kopper Kettle Inn of Morristown, Indiana, has won IndyStar's Fried Chicken Challenge, defeating Wilson Farm Market in Arcadia. The restaurant's owners, Leigh and Kristi Langkabel, credited their staff, friends, customers, and those who preceded them at the Kettle. The win came after five weeks and over 50,000 votes. The winning team rode an extensive social media campaign to victory. The owner, who operates the restaurant with his wife, Kristi, said the inn's first owner, Muriel Vredenburg, hand-wrote letters to Henry Ford and James Whitcomb Riley to attract them to her dining room. The Langkabels, who inherited a dynasty when they took over the restaurant in 1997, also stressed the importance of maintaining the restaurant's deeccor and maintaining its tradition.
