Hello, Friday! Chelsea here.

I firmly believe that there’s no better way to start your weekend than at a local diner that feels like home. If you haven’t discovered your “go-to” diner here in Columbus yet, I implore you to start getting out there and trying different spots. I promise, you’ll find one you love. I’m a regular at one of the diners on this list and it’s the best. Happy eating, Columbus. And have a great weekend! You’ve earned it.
