Cheap Eats 2010

A 61-year-old institution that looks like Arnold's from Happy Days—right down to a rickety jukebox just waiting to be Fonzarellied—Stanich's boasts the best bar burger in town. Looking for a veggie burger? Look elsewhere. The rest of us will gain a few pounds on "The Special" ($6.50), loaded with bloody beef, cheese, ham, bacon, egg and all the trimmings. Simpler burgers come in many variations, but don't bypass the incredible hand-cut fries ($2-$3). Consult your doctor after eating.
