OPINION: The return of hot takes

Meghana Rachamadugu: Village Deli needs more love. I'm not sure if it's just my friend group, but I feel like no one talks about this staple that's right on Kirkwood Avenue. The first time I stepped inside, I felt like it was the kind of place American sitcoms film. Nestled in a corner booth with a perfect view of my food coming to me and the bustle of students outside, I enjoy recapping my week with friends and having a comfort meal to kickstart our weekend. I'm sure you can probably find the same foods in the dining halls, but from what I remember, it wasn't as good or affordable. Village Deli reminds me of the diners I go to for brunch with my dad back home, and I love that I can recreate while I'm at school. No matter what my order is, I always feel happy eating there. You better believe I'm bringing my dad here during graduation weekend too.
