What is Eatconomy? In these hard times many have to make decisions on where to spend their time and money. I can't count the number of instances where I only had 20 minutes to eat and get to work. I would often debate between putting gas in my car, paying a bill or two or eating lunch and dinner. This would lead to many hungry nights and me being forced to eat at McDonalds or Taco Bell more then anywhere else. Fast food franchises are not the only cheap eat-out spots in America.
Eatconomy is for the person who wants something cheap to eat that is also tasty. I am not talking 5 star restaurants where your portions are very small and your pocket book will be empty when you leave. I am talking hidden dives that offer meals or specials that will leave you full and often with enough food for another meal.
