Grub on the cheap The Daily Press recently scoured the area looking for inexpensive eats. We were surprised to find quite a few gems that offered a well-rounded meal for under $10\. While we know we did our best to uncover the best bargains in town, we know that you, our readers, have some favorites that are worth recommending.

This week’s Q-Line question asks: Is there anyplace in town other than chain restaurants that offer a hearty meal for a crisp Hamilton or less?

Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your answers in next weekend’s edition of the Daily Press. Please limit responses to a minute or less.
