These are listed in no particular order.

Peppy Grill (Fountain Square and East 10th), Red Eye Cafe, Steak and Shake, Most Hardee's drive thrus, White Castle, Denny's, Perkin's, Qdoba in Broad Ripple (i think).

I'm sure there are more, I read an INtake write-up earlier this year I believe.

Yep, Benjamindy pretty much exhausted the list. But let me just say that if you haven't experienced Peppy Grill's biscuits and gravy, you haven't lived. Also, I think IHOP is 24 hours.

The only restaurant chain that I could think of not on your list was Waffle House.

According to the dining guide, BR's Qdoba is open 24-hour on Weds-Sat only.

And the INtake story you were referring to, I believe, had late-night options (rather than just 24-hour spots) ... but still a good list ... from Taffy:

1. Peppy Grill

1004 Virginia Ave., (317) 637-1158.

The sign out front reads "Hamburgs," which sets the tone for a diner that isn't quite right -- it's perfect. The atmosphere is less than peppy, but the hipsters, cops and blue-collar crowd that frequent this joint wouldn't have it any other way.

What to try: Western omelet, $7.45. Comes with ham, bacon, onion, tomato, green pepper, cheese inside and out and served with an order of toast.

What to know: Jukebox, MC/V.

When to go: Open 24 hours daily.

2. Red Eye Cafe

250 S. Meridian St., (317) 972-1500, www.redeyecafe.com.

Red Eye spoons up greasy grub for business breakfasts, rushed lunches and bleary-eyed boozehounds. Daytime delivery Downtown and free Wi-fi add up to this place being on speed dial for center-city workers and residents.

What to try: Red Eye burger, $7.49. Featured on "The Late Show," a half-pound of Angus beef is hand-pattied with onion and garlic, seasoned and broiled.

What to know: MC/V/D.

When to go: Open 24 hours daily.

3. Hot Box Pizza

715 Broad Ripple Ave., (317) 257-7500, www.gethotboxpizza.com.

Taffy topped pies here when this space was a Noble Roman's, but that place never saw this kind of action. Get in line for a late-night slice and carry it out unless you can quickly call dibs on a table.

What to try: Dixie chicken 14-inch pizza, $14.45. Barbecue sauce replaces the normal red sauce, topped with chicken, onions and cheddar cheese.

What to know: Television, MC/V/AX.

When to go: 11 a.m. to midnight Mondays and Tuesdays, 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays, noon to 11 p.m. Sundays.

4. Taza Cafe

825 Broad Ripple Ave., (317) 255-8835.

It must be true that good things come in small packages, because this cafe serves some of Indianapolis' best gyros and shawarma out of a cafe the size of a walk-in closet. Seating isn't tight; it's nonexistent. The owner, Rageh Hefni, mans the counter tirelessly and with good humor deep into the night.

What to try: Shawarma hot wrap, $7.50. Marinated beef and lamb, tahini, parsley, tomato, and onion in a 14-inch tortilla and served with French fries.

What to know: Outdoor seating, MC/V/D/AX.

When to go: 4 p.m. to 4 a.m. Mondays and Tuesdays, 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 4 a.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays, 5:30 p.m. through 12:30 a.m. Sundays.

5. La Bamba

7910 U.S. 31, (317) 203-0024, www.labambaburritos.com.

If your hunger is as big as your head, La Bamba has a burrito for you. Tinfoil-wrapped colon combustion kits are served up to night owls hovering around this bean counter.

What to try: Super Nachos, $6.73.

What to know: MC/V/D/AX.

When to go: 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 11 a.m. to midnight Sundays.

6. Elbow Room

605 N. Pennsylvania St., (317) 635-3354.

This kitchen is open late, if you are rubbing elbows with hunger around the witching hour. The surrounding streets are desolate at night, but the Elbow Room has been a destination for decades.

What to try: Black and blue burger, $6.99. Charbroiled ground chuck with blue cheese crumbles and crispy bacon.

What to know: Outdoor seating, arcade, billiards, darts, television, MC/V/D/AX.

When to go: 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. Mondays through Saturdays, 11 a.m. to midnight Sundays.

Late-night appetite? Here are a few good places to satisfy a craving when most other kitchens close

By Kelly Kendall

I admit it, I'm a difficult mouth to feed. I have a knack for getting hungry just as every place is closing its kitchen for the night. Throw in the fact that I'm what my West-Coast-bred boyfriend calls "Hoosier vegetarian" (seafood doesn't count), and the best I can hope for after midnight is generally a plate of fries.

But in the words of Peggy Lee . . . Is that all there is?

It shouldn't be, anyway. Turns out that Indiana bars legally have to provide something in the way of grub. Under state excise laws, any place that serves alcohol also has to offer hot soup, hot sandwiches, coffee, milk and soft drinks. They have to have enough on hand for at least 25 people at all times.

A footnote: There's actually no such thing as a "bar" under Indiana excise laws: Technically, even the sleaziest watering hole is a "restaurant." Hence the food requirement.

Now, Jackie Robbins, an officer with the Indiana State Excise Police, cautions that we ain't necessarily talking gourmet here.

"A 'sandwich' can be a hot dog cooked in a microwave, or a sandwich out of a vending machine," she says.

Pizza counts, too. (Back when Robbins started on the force in the mid-'80s, pizza was not considered a "food item.")

"That's how far we've come, baby," she says.

The definition of sandwich also has evolved over the years to include more ethnic foods -- tacos and gyros, for example, are now legally "sandwiches."

That's the law, anyway. Whether it's heeded is another question. I called a few bars around town, and staffers at several places said they serve dinner until around 11, a more limited bar menu until 1 a.m. and not much after that -- peanuts, and maybe chips and salsa.

Rockville Tavern on the Westside sets a sterling example. The kitchen winds down around 1 a.m. on the weekends, but co-owner Jason Amonett says the chef stays until the place closes at 3. Just ask, and he'll fix you up a plate of loaded fries, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks and more.

The Chatterbox is known more for its great jazz acts than its cuisine, but you do have a choice of Tombstone pizza, Jamaican patties, popcorn and chips up until closing time (3 a.m. on weekends). Bartender DeAnne Roth says pizza's the most popular pick at the Downtown club.

My favorite food when hunger strikes late:

Pancakes at Peppy Grill. The good people at this Fountain Square diner commit the cardinal sin of forgoing real butter for Shedd's Country Crock. And still they serve up the best hotcakes in town. Nothing fancy, mind you -- just straight-up, classic cakes, served up 24 hours a day, next to a jukebox that's admittedly heavy on country but still worth your quarters.

Waffle fries at Red Eye Cafe. Always crispy, and served in heaping portions 24 hours a day. And if you're bar-hopping Downtown, you can't beat the convenience.

Nachos at Rock Bottom Brewery. A lot of people rave about the loaded nachos at a certain other Downtown bar, but forget it -- these are the best. Laden with just the right amount of refried beans, actual melted Cheddar and Monterey Jack (not that goopy "nacho cheese") and all the trimmings. They're available until half an hour before closing, so 1:30 a.m. on weekends.

I'm on my way now . . .

More 24 hour restaurants.... There are also several Waffle & Steaks, the narrow greasy spoons usually near highways, that are open 24 hours. The ones I am familiar with are located at I65 and Southport, I65 and Main Street and 37 / 465 intersections.

New to the southside next month is Huddle House, a southern chain of 24 hour diners similar to Waffle & Steak. It is being built near the intersection of Emerson and Stop 11.

Yes I am obviously a southsider and have stayed out late drinking a few times. Ha.

SOOOOOOOOO EXCITED about the Huddle House...growing up, we went to Jekyll Island, GA for vacation when I was in 2nd grade and ate at the Huddle House every day for breakfast. I loved it because they served real beef bacon and my family didn't eat pork.

I've heard mixed reviews on the Huddle House on Brookville Road... but I'll have to give it a shot myself sometime soon.

Here's the 24 hour spots we have in the indy.com system ... lot of the obvious ones in there.

Obviously, chip in if you know of any we're missing ...
