Cheap Eats, a New Frontier

You're starving. You're hung over. You're poor. You're all 3 of the above. Or just this once you're tired of those exquisite, high end meals your daddy's (or sugar daddy's) credit card pays for and you just want something off a truck. Or you're a fine-dining foodie with the overwhelming urge to unearth the unsung, to obliviate obscurity, to holla at all those hallowed hole-in-the-wall hovels that make a miraculous meal. So here I am, here are my posts, here is my chance to be Robin Food, to steal the business from the rich restaurants and give them to the poor. Though I'd really rather just steal the food for myself - forget altruism, that's for Robin Hood.

Like cheap eats, these posts should be simple. Cheap eats are basic, made with primal ingredients, eating with a feral instinct to survive whatever hangover, heartbreak, craving, or inkling urge lies in your path to nirvana or salvation...or salivation. So these posts will be simple. Coded under "cheap eats", they will be thumbs up or down. I go or I don't. You go or you don't. Thumbs up, you miss out, thumbs down, you back out. No crazy criteria, just how good it tastes. Service is NOT a factor, even if it's atrocious - if your food is practically free, you're not getting service. No deductions for food poisoning either. You knew what you were getting into though most cheap eats will be so coated with a layer of sanitary grease that not a thing can grow. I'll rate a few nearby drug stores for their ability to sell immodium and alka-seltzer if it really becomes an issue.

So thumbs up or thumbs down, it really can be that simple. It's parcels for the poor, savories for the stingy, and vittles for the vinos. And as always, practice safe eating and enjoy at your own risk.
