College life is tough because you need to fend for yourself when it comes to food. On the days when you’re too lazy to cook a crappy meal at your apartment or you’re not feelin’ what the dinning hall is serving up that night, you can always rely on Iowa City restaurants to take good care of you (and your taste buds).
