Rumor has it that not everyone gets paid to eat for a living. It sounds crazy, but it’s true. In fact, I’ve heard some poor souls actually have to PAY FOR THEIR OWN MEALS.
Luckily, you don’t have to be a food critic to take advantage of some the area’s best meal deals.
We’ve got the goods on 40 restaurants—some brand-spanking-new, a few old haunts that are still going strong, and a handful of out-of-the-way places worth getting to know—where two can feast to their hearts’ content for just $40 (tax and tip included). At some places, you may be able to clear out the whole menu for much less. Others may require some fiscal discipline. But overall, we’re confident both you and your wallet should be able to walk out of any of these frugal finds, fat and happy.
