There’s always a lot happening in the Columbus restaurant world! Here’s the latest:

• Goood Friends, a Midwest-themed, sandwich-centric concept from the Wario’s team debuts today at 4 p.m. at Jackie O’s on Fourth. The eatery features a mix of sandwiches, sides, and desserts, which you can order from their patio window or via QR code at the brewery. Check out their menu here: The Wario’s Team Opens Goood Friends This Week and Oh Man, It’s Goood.
