You might think restaurant critics live on a steady diet of bone marrow, Reblochon cheese, and Manjari chocolate, but what do our food writers eat when they’re pinching pennies and nobody’s looking? (Except where noted, eateries have multiple area locations.)
Todd Kliman Smothered enchiladas and bean-and-cheese burrito at Tippy’s Taco House Glazed doughnut at Krispy Kreme Steak and eggs at Silver Diner Bourbon chicken at Big Easy Cajun 5-Way Chili Mac at Hard Times Cafe Ann Limpert Chicken sandwich, plain or with Buffalo sauce, at Chick-fil-A Chicago-style pizza with extra sauce at Armand’s Pretzel with sweet mustard at Auntie Anne’s Avocado egg rolls at the Cheesecake Factory Spicy dark-meat chicken at Popeyes Kate Nerenberg Chocolate-glazed doughnut at Dunkin’ Donuts Cheese pupusas at El Rinconcito Cafe (1129 11th St., NW; 202-789-4110) Gingerbread cookie at Firehook Bakery and Coffee House Bacon cheeseburger with everything—except green peppers, A1, and barbecue sauce—and fries at Five Guys Carnitas burrito at Chipotle Rina Rapuano Cherry-dipped cone of vanilla ice cream at Dairy Queen Chicken McNuggets with hot mustard sauce and fries at McDonald’s Chocolate Frosty at Wendy’s Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger at Wendy’s Chips and queso at California Tortilla This appears as part of the Dirt Cheap Eats section of The Washingtonian's November issue.

I have never been able to eat a regular order of 5 Guys fries by myself. On special occasions I treat myself and my two dogs to 5 Guys. They get a plain little cheeseburger and I have a regular cheeseburger.
We still can’t finish an order of regular fires. And they know the difference between 5 Guys fries and Mcds fries

How about the crunchy chocolate lava cakes at Domino’s? To DIE for... I am a food snob and healthy food police "officer"--but I love these!
