--- name: "CheapFoodMap" subtitle: "A map of meals under $10, with the prices actually checked" date: 2026-08-01 shortlist: true link: "https://cheapfoodmap.com/" linkText: "cheapfoodmap.com" source: "Hacker News — Show HN" topics: [food-and-drink, web-tools] tags: [maps, cheap-eats, travel, free] description: "One rule — under ten dollars — mapped across US cities, with a price-verified mark instead of star ratings, and no sponsored placements." --- One rule, under ten dollars, and a map built to enforce it: entries carry a "price verified" mark rather than a star rating nobody can audit. It skews usefully specific — a hamburger with onions and a Coke at Pete's Hamburger Stand in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin — and sorts by city, from sixty-odd spots in Houston down to a handful elsewhere. No ads and no sponsored placements, which is what makes the ten-dollar rule mean anything.
