This and many other things in this thread are what I'll call a waste of calories.
$5
3000 calories
I weigh 260 pounds and I can't even stuff 3000 calories worth of various foods into my body. My recommended caloric intake is somewhere near there. Probably 2600+
Secret Spaghetti is now something that I'm going to try and make myself. Thanks OP.

If there is pizza at the party, I turn into a ball
. I love this kind of stuff because it tastes so good, but I just can't help but think how much other shit I could be eating for 3000 calories lol.If there is pizza at the party, I turn into a ball
Fair. 3,000 calories for that shit is terrible. Maybe with some tapatio I'm on board.

My favorite breakfast deal I've ever had was at a hotel just outside Las Vegas, on a stopover while heading to the airport. $3 for 3 eggs and all the fixings (whole wheat toast, bacon/ham/sausage, home fries, coffee/tea).
The best cheap pizza I ever had was at some hole-in-the-wall pizza shop in Brampton. Got an extra-large pepperoni pizza for $5 while waiting for a bus. Couldn't eat it all - had to give half to a couple of homeless people.

Oh. This is what happens when I skim-read. Sorry. Then, it's essentially a handroll or a regular sushi roll (maki) just not cut up. So, it would taste good, although I think I would prefer it as maki.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I don't have a picture, but there's a full service Chinese place not too far from here that has a separate entrance with a take-out counter where they'll stuff a take-out box completely full of half one entree/half noodles for $4. One time they only had enough to do one-quarter entree (but still full container of food, to the top) and they apologized and charged me $2.

Don-don in Melbourne cbd (Australia, not Florida) everything is <$10.
The Bento is pretty good:
But for super cheap and hearty the chicken curry is the way to go

I'm trying to figure out what this is..
I'm from Belgium, yes :>
Looks like poutine
Don't make me come over there. Then I'd have to leave the second best place to live in the country.
The Bomb - $7 and change
Prosperity Dumpling - 4 for a dollar (used to be 5, which is now $1.25)
I forgot to mention, the place up top?
It's #28 on Yelp's top 100.
Not in my city, on in Queens, not New York. All of Yelp*.
*Not that I put much credence in Yelp at all, but it is a cool fact
Especially with that white sauce they put on it and if you order it with half French fries & half rice.

For the Toronto folk,
St. Lawrence Market is packed with good eats, but my favourite is Carousel bakery. thick Peameal sandwich for 6, or a hefty chicken/veal parm, with sweet or hot roasted peppers for 7.
Of course, can't leave out Messini's out. Some of the best gyros in town, 5 for pork/chicken, or 6 for lamb. It's filling, life affirming, and damn tasty.
Also forgot, Ritz's Carribean. Real good fried/jerk chicken with the fixins for 6 I think?

I have been meaning to try that place, it keeps being suggested on Google Maps when looking for nearby places. Looks good!
Go Habs Go.
What's this place called??

I'll get back to you next week after my move back to China. Few places in the world can compete when it comes to delicious food for cheap.
If I want to find this food locally, do I just search "halal"? I've had this at a different cart in NYC and loved it, but it's hard to find outside of NYC....
This is all I can find in SLC

But nothing like chicken/lamb on rice with white sauce :/
Isn't gutter oil a problem in China?

Fantasy Island at Leo's Diner in Omaha.
Hangover magic.
Biscuits and gravy over hashbrowns topped with 2 eggs over easy, bacon, sausage, ham, green pepper, onion, and tomato.
$8.25
Excuse the terrible picture, but it's diner food, so not the most photogenic item to begin with.

I don't know how many are good so I guess you have to try them out and report back. Hopefully you find what you're looking for in one of those places.
You need to get yourself to Mitsuwa in Torrance for some amazing ramen and Japanese katsu curry.

Surprise - I work about a mile from there and hit it up pretty frequently! Usually to-go since it's a warzone for a table at lunch time. I <3 Mitsuwa

This item is only available at my hometown. After a night of drinking, this is truly the food of Gods. Its French fries with saté spices, Flemish beefstew (sauce), Joppiesauce, Mexicano(deep fried spicey meat), dried and fresh onions. Yours for only 5.5euro

There's a ridiculously large portioned meal you can get here for $4. I'll get it next week so I can post it here
That's awesome! Might I suggest Sabra Beirut Mix on PCH in Hermosa, then? Incredible chicken, ful medames, Mediterranean fries, and hummus.
Cafecito is awesome. The sandwiches are amazing.
Damenzo's in Chicago which does a Chicago thin crust (think crispy). My favorite in the city, and that slice is only 4 dollars.
Saved to Google maps. Thanks

Surely this is a joke post. $9?? Where the deuce is the meat???
This rivals the $30 Italian meal post if true.

This has to be satire - his name is 'neogaffer1'.
Everyone knows it is GAFer or gafer.
What possessed me to read this thread when I don't get out of work for another hour?
Oh nm I'm not hungry anymore.
