"Teenagers with part-time jobs can afford to eat at Nickel Sandwich Grill in the Fifth Ward, which might be why the menu board looks like it belongs at a high school football game. For $10, you can get a griddled cheeseburger or a BBQ sandwich overflowing with glazed beef on slices of sauce-stained white bread. Use the spare change in your car’s cup holder to add fries and a soda, then finish off the rogue pieces of meat caught by the sandwich’s aluminum wrapper." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
