Wait, is Thai Hut in Porter Square open again? I thought they've been gone since COVID.

To answer your question: for about $10 I can get the regular size sub at Al's in Kendall or a HUGE one for $13. At Beantown Tacqueria, a "small" burrito is approximately $10 (maybe $11 with tax?), and I think it costs similar at Olé in Inman. The last time I was at Cambridge Common, the burger with fries was still just under $10, although tax and tip push up that cost. You can get a large pizza for < $10 at Domino's, although usually I'd rather just get slices from Pinocchio's. And if you go to Market Basket, the prepared sandwiches, pasta, and salads are all south of $10, but Daily Table has stupidly cheap prepared food, like $5 for rice and chicken.

Cambridge Common is surprisingly cheap.

It's not $10 cheap, but for a restaurant meal it's pretty damn good... great "uh oh our group of 10 starving grad students need dinner right now!" place.

It's why I go there! The beer punch is also in the sweet spot of the price-alcohol content-taste matrix, at least when you're with other people. I mean, ALSO, brunch is cheap and doesn't require standing in line. It might be my favorite restaurant.
