BS Summary: This article contains 12 faulty reasoning types, including Availability Heuristic, Overconfidence Bias, and Framing Effect, with Appeal to Authority as the most egregious example at 29.3% saturation with 43 hits. Analysis detected 341 faulty-reasoning hits from 147 analyzed words, generating a BS Score of 87.8% and a BS Rank of 93% (1,505 of 18,982 articles). This article is worse (more manipulative) than 92.10% of the article peer group.
Unfortunately, everything has gotten pretty expensive, which means treating oneself to a meal out is something many of us are enjoying much less often these days.
As we compiled a list of “cheap” eats for this annual guide — which we know is highly anticipated by Inlander readers — it was also a challenge for us to find some seriously good deals to include.
We set our item price limit at $15, but tried to highlight things well below that point as much as we could.
Fortunately for everyone involved, we did find some killer deals that don’t skimp on the portion sizes, either.
And to keep things fun and interesting, we organized all 50 featured finds by how they’re most commonly eaten: with your hands, a fork or spoon, chopsticks (or skewers), or a straw.
