Miles Lab is a name that invokes memories of the history of Elkhart, but Rick and Kelly found a place where that also means great food. Miles Lab - The Burger Bar at Bulldog Crossing is a great find that has mouth watering food, and takes a look back at the history of Miles Laboratories. That's because the owner, Mike Miles is a descendent of the founder of the original Miles Laboratories. You can get more info at www.theMilesLab.com
