My fiancée went and picked us up some lunch this afternoon from a local restaurant. It was some really yummy Chinese food for $5 a plate. They also have large hamburgers and fries for $4 and many other succulent meals at incredibly fair prices.
Where you ask? Why none other than Our local hospital cafeteria.
In past years I frequented there for my lunches and had since completely forgotten about the place. Amazing to me that they are now cheaper than Mcdonalds not to mention that the food is actually healthy(and far better tasting).
If you haven't tried your local hospital for a good meal at a good price I highly recommend it. :thumbsup:

About 10 years ago (give or take a decade or so) when my sister was in the maternity ward after having her first kid, I remember the food was effin delicious. Just amazing.

Fast forward to a couple of months ago when I went back for some reason or another - it tastes like they're taking all of the patients' bed pan contents and cooking them into the food. Disgusting. No thanks to our hospital food.

I used to live across the street from the UCLA medical center, and their food was pretty damn good for a guy on a college budget..

You know its kinda funny, we used to make fun of the school lunches, but I actually miss them sometimes. Some of them were pretty good, others were just awful. I don't know if it was cheapness or what, but about once every month or two we'd have "Italian dunkers" which was two breadsticks and some meat sauce. Barely any other stuff either. Mac 'n cheese and little smokies with a "sticky" bun (cinnamon and sugar coated bread roll) was great. Stromboli was good too.

The majority of hospitals in the US receive their food from the Sysco corporation. Great food, and they take great care of their employees. Many of the top food service managers at the hospitals make in excess of 100k/year, plus they get to take home leftovers.

Edit-More on topic regarding cheap food.

Many larger cities have soup kitchen programs which provide a nutritious, hot meal for free. In addition, many churches also have free meals and food programs where they provide basic goods at discounted prices. Even if you aren't poor or homeless, you can still get food from them. To save money through college, I sometimes ate at these places.

Those steamed hamburgers were awesome! Seriously.:D
The peach cobbler I remember as the best cobbler I've ever had in my entire life.

I don't know about you guys, but I can't stand the smell of hospitals. It's not even the food (which, as I recall, was not very good), it's just the overall smell of the hospital. I don't know what it is, either - it doesn't smell like sanitizer or anything i've ever encountered outside of a hospital.

It reeks of a sweet lightly burnt latex to me.
Not sure what it is though.

I once had a meal replacement drink(non flavored) from the hospital that tasted just like what that smell is. It was the most chemical tasting thing I've ever had.
Supposedly they feed that to cancer patients who have poor apetite. I think the last thing you want on a poor appetite is a vile tasting drink though.
