Cheap Eats

The New York Times' frugal traveler Seth Kugel makes a trip to Portland, finding 8 Meals for $8 or Less. Instead of a "best of" list, Kugel describes his rundown as a look at several "high-value examples," from a ted curry soup at Mekong Bistro to tacos de canasta at Uno Mas. Kugel is particularly taken with the mind-boggling maple sandwich at Meat Cheese Bread: "I'm ruined for life, at least until this place opens a branch in New York." [NYT] [Photo: Official]
