All of this in mind, I was very excited to try Lil’ Doddy, the new restaurant that opened April 15, on William Cannon. Hopdoddy Burger Bar’s reach is expanding, and has opened up a n...

Among students, one of the most popular places to sit down or pick up some food before class is Torchy’s Tacos. However, with the closest location previously being 3.9 miles away, not everyone could make the trek there and back so easily. This problem was fixed as of Nov. 13, 2018. Despite being a food...
