    The Fishers Test Kitchen is a home for culinary innovation. Three restaurant concepts serving the Sun King Innovation Brewery along with a culinary performance space used for classes, private parties, fundraisers, and group dinners. These unique concepts call the Fishers Test Kitchen home as they perfect their business models, refine their menus and build a following. We hope they’ll eventually launch out to their own restaurant location, opening the space for other aspiring chefs/entrepreneurs to take over the space — all with the goal of creating a more vibrant and exciting local food culture.
