Most Popular Takeout Spots:
Chick-fil-A (DoorDash) | Convenience and speed play a huge role in food choices, which is why sometimes for Webb boarders, ordering in just makes more sense. Chick-fil-A is one of those places that delivers fast—crispy chicken sandwiches, waffle fries, and signature sauces all at your door before you even get too hungry. Reliable quality, quick service, and affordable prices make it an easy choice. It is a go-to for Webb students for a reason, whether it is a classic sandwich, nuggets, or a refreshing lemonade. “I always order Chick-fil-A because it never goes wrong,” Lucci Troendle (‘26) said.
Most Underrated Takeout Spots:
Katsu Ramen and Gyoza | Among the many Japanese restaurants in the area, there is Katsu Ramen and Gyoza, which doesn’t get nearly enough credit. As its name suggests, they do ramen and gyoza and do them extremely well. The gyoza comes out crispy, and the ramen is rich and full of flavor. What really sets this place apart is the mixture of ingredients in the ramen—chewy noodles, the deep, savory broth, and a hit of black garlic oil. It all comes together in a way that just works. The key, though, is what it tastes like when ordered for delivery. "Their ramen never arrives soggy, which is so much better than other places,” Lucci said.
Most Overrated Takeout Spots:
Chipotle (DoorDash, Ubereats) | Over the years, Chipotle blew up on social media, not necessarily for its taste, but because it became kind of meal that fits the pre or post-workout aesthetic. A bowl that looks balanced, something people associate Chipotle with “healthiness.” Despite the hype, a lot of Webb students simply are not convinced. Chipotle is often described as “mid”—bland flavors, hit-or-miss quality, and nothing that really stands out. If you are looking for a meal with real depth, something that delivers every time, Chipotle might not be it.
“The ingredients don’t taste as well as in-person stores when you order it on apps ... and honestly, I think it’s too salty,” Mia Li (‘27) said.
![Martin Beseth (‘27) angrily educates Ethan Xi (‘27) about over-relying on paper cups as they produce unnecessary waste. Webb started to advocate for the community to decrease the number of paper cups used. “I think [Webb is] taking a huge step towards stopping the deforestation of trees ...and helping the environment,” Martin Beseth (‘27) said. The attention brought to the community prompts new opinions among students on using fewer paper cups.](https://webbcanyonchronicle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Meng-Paper-cup-reductions-1200x900.jpeg)
![On one of the Webb robotics team’s new Skytech Nebula computers is Jake Hui (‘25), engineer of Webb’s 358 Robotics team who is currently improving his team’s robot virtually in a Computer Aided Design application, or CAD. Before the building, the driving, and the victories, comes the prototyping of the robot.
“Right here [on his computer] is where the robot is designed, and I have access to all the parts that I need to try things out,” Jake said.
Technical computer skills as well as an intimate knowledge of how robots work is required to efficiently work in the CAD design space. The skills are well worth the time spent, as it can save hours or even days' worth of time spent on assembly in the real world.
"If there is a piece that we don’t have, 3D print it to see if it's really necessary before making an expensive purchase, as the parts can cost hundreds of dollars,” Jake said.](https://webbcanyonchronicle.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMG_2381-1200x900.png)

Despite risking their lives, incarcerated firefighters are prevented from becoming firefighters after release due to background checks for occupational licenses, which perpetuates cycles of incarceration. “There's lots of evidence to suggest that [occupational licenses are] partly about restricting access to the profession,” said Professor J.J. Prescott, the University of Michigan Henry King Ransom Professor of Law, who is researching the effects of criminal record expungement. Shouldn’t the protectors of our communities be given a second chance?](https://webbcanyonchronicle.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Duan-incarcerated-firefighters-final-1-1200x750.jpeg)
![Scrolling through the TikTok comment section of popular influencer Julia Ernest, you notice a common pattern. People are spending their time watching TikToks of people they wish they looked like and comparing themselves. “I think that my 12-year-old is probably more body conscious than I would have said that I was at that age,” said Sarah Lantz, Dean of Students. “[This occurrence is] because she is exposed to those videos on social media.” Most influencers feed into the unrealistic beauty standards engraved in our minds, making us feel as if we need to alter our appearance to feel good enough.](https://webbcanyonchronicle.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Antecol-Julia-Ernest-Social-Media-Affects-1200x900.jpeg)
