Hello Tuesday! Chelsea here.

Welcome back from a long weekend and to a new month. September is the best month. Soon, the weather will be beautiful, the pumpkin spice will be flowing, and it will be my birthday! Okay, I admit that the last one is probably a little specific to me, but hey, it’s a valid argument. One of my favorite things about the turn of each month is that we get to expand our culinary horizons and explore some new Columbus restaurants. We’ve got some incredible new places to check out, my friends!
