Veda Kilaru
Chicago Staff Writer
Veda is a staff writer for The Infatuation Chicago and longtime enthusiast of Old Fashioneds, dry humor, and lists (also, parenthetical asides). Before this Midwestern native made her triumphant return to Chicago, she spent years in NYC dedicating her limited free time to trying as many food trucks as possible. When she’s not poring over her meticulously maintained restaurant spreadsheet, she’s usually taking long, aimless urban walks in search of a great cappuccino.
