Hit 200 meals from the same $9 rotisserie chicken spot and had to sit down about it
So I keep a little tally in my notes app of cheap meals I eat out, mostly so I can justify the habit to myself. I finally crossed 200 meals from this tiny chicken place on 5th that does a whole bird with rice and slaw for $9 flat. That number surprised me because when I started going there back in 2019 it was $7, and I remember thinking even then that it was a steal. The owner still recognizes me and sometimes throws in an extra piece of plantain, which honestly adds up to real money if you count it. Two hundred meals over about 5 years works out to roughly $1,800 spent there, and I don't regret a single one. Curious if anyone else has a spot they've worn a groove into like this, what's your count and what do they charge now?
