"We commonly ask ourselves, “Why do we still live here?” when rent, grocery prices, and the cost of existing always seem to go up. But this Bridgeport fast food joint (and its Red Hot Ranch siblings) helps us realize that a great cheap meal is possible. Armed with just a $10 bill (it’s cash-only), you can get a juicy charred burger or a hot dog, plus some fries. Everything is delicious, but it tastes even better knowing that you still have money left for Bears tickets, a vacation, or a $12 grapefruit." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
