How do you eat for a week for $50?
I think that even if you want to eat cheap, you can still think about local options. if you have a farmers market near you, a lot of times you can get "seconds", stuff that's not perfect, and again, the freezer is your friend. freezing, canning, cooking your own stocks, all save money. buy cheaper cuts of meat (if you eat meat) and think about slow braises, stews, things that fall off the bone (delicious!). and a common theme in recommendations, beans, the magical fruit.
good luck! happy cooking.

also you can check out Flo, Toast, and Over Easy... All do a pretty good job. Have fun!

Gepperths is a wonderful place owned by wonderful people. Agreed.
My favorite breakfast is Lula Cafe up in Lincoln Square- food is great. service can be touch and go, but if you're out for a slow Sunday brunch, no big deal, have a cocktail, it's the weekend :) expect a wait, and don't be surprised by all of the too cool for themselves hipsters.
Lou Mitchell's is just ok- but gives fresh donuts on the weekend as you wait and milk duds to kids

Ice cream contains eggs. Sherbet contains dairy, no eggs. Sorbet does not contain dairy. there are other variations on this theme, such as gelato, frozen custard, granite. as far as I know, most of the western world uses what is for some reason being called the "french method".
