With parents not around to whip up a home-cooked meal, many college students tend to order pizza or eat anything that is not from the cafeteria. Eating the same old meal can become boring, but Spartanburg is making an effort to change that. Located downtown, there is the only cold-pressed juice bar in Spartanburg County, a unique hot dog and sandwich joint, and a French bakery, all located next to each other. Whether you are looking for a nutritious snack at Health in Hand, a hot dog with pimento cheese at Hub Diggity, or a powdery croissant at Baguette & Co., Wall Street (in Spartanburg) is where all your food dreams come true.

Inspired by his love for conversation and good food, Bobby Beauvais opened up Hub Diggity in November of 2010.

They even offer a vegetarian menu! You can even get your Hub Diggity hotdog delivered to you via HubCity Delivery! Recently, Bobby relocated from Dunbar Street to the pedestrian-only Wall Street.
