Hello Tuesday! Chelsea here.

Yesterday we talked about the best restaurants around town, but today we’re taking a more “hidden gem” approach. Every Columbus foodie has that one spot that they love but that either gets overlooked or just flies under the radar. Well, this morning we’re hitting some wonderfully underrated spots that are secretly delicious. I hope you’re ready to be hungry, Columbus, cause you will be after this!
