My 11th grade economics teacher, Mrs. Wickman, told us one day why we liked eating lunch at Leal's multiple times every week.
She said it was because it was a local restaurant where we could see the owner, Cesar, every time we went in the door. My snarky, inner-monologue response was "Ummm, no. I like it because I can get taco meat, potatoes, cheese and guacamole on a burrito and free chips and salsa to boot for less than $5." This was the glorious era known as the mid-1990s, but even then eating lunch for less than $5 was a rarity.

We were given a heads up on this via our facebook page and want to pass it along. It's a good chance to help out Communities in Schools by simply dining out.

Today's question is really more of a challenge and it coincides with Led Zeppelin releasing re-mastered deluxe editions of its first three albums. Here it is:
We wish we could keep intern Dustin Payne around forever as he did an excellent job of augmenting our content this spring. Alas, he graduated. But he left us with this video featuring local servers telling us about their favorite items at their respective restaurants.
UPDATE: I went by at 10:45 today (Tuesday) and owner Nick Colaku said they are open for business. They actually opened up on a very soft basis Monday afternoon. They don't have a sign up right now, but it's the location with the yellow awning. Remember, it's order-at-the-counter at lunch and table service at dinner.
