A Day at the Varsity

Jaida Danso has worked at the Varsity for thirty-seven years. According to her, everything has stayed the same—mostly. “We do have more politicians that come in here now,” she jokes. “But what do they want to eat? Hotdogs. Everybody loves hotdogs.” Danso is no different—her go-to lunch order is a chili dog and onion rings.
