9 egg-ceptional deviled eggs in Cola
A couple weeks ago I went on a self-made deviled egg tour through Columbia. (And Chloe + Beth made fun of me because they just don’t understand the love.) I actually consider myself a deviled egg connoisseur, because I’ve been obsessing over them since I was a child – and they’re everyone’s go-to when the vegetarian (a.k.a. me) gets invited to the cookout.
But I found 9 restaurants that know eggs-actly what they’re doing when it comes to deviled eggs, and trust me – they’re literally all to die for.

Seriously, y’all. All these deviled eggs are out of this world, and they’re all eggs-tremely different. Make sure you eggs-ercise your right to eat all of them.
Sorry I’m not sorry for all the egg puns – they just crack me up. 🤣
