I enjoy a $50 dry-aged ribeye as much the next guy. I've eaten at a few of the best French and New American restaurants in the world. But I also really enjoy getting a meal that feels like you are stealing from the proprieter. Case in point - Hyvee on Sundays.
From 4 to 8 p.m., you can get a burger and fries for $2. It's an honest 1/3 pound hand pattied hunk of cheap burger insanity. I'm not sure what this hamburger did to piss of its cook, but this poor guy was incinerated. Nonetheless, it retained some sense of juicyness, and was seasoned nicely. The roll serving as bun was pretty good too. The fries were skin on from a bag, but did manage to maintain a bit of crunch.
Another Sunday special is meatloaf and 2 sides for $4. The decently sized slab of meat was perfectly acceptable. It wasn't crammed with a bunch of strange veggies that make me hate meatloaf. On the side I had mashed potatoes and gravy which were also perfectly acceptable. I also had the smoked mac & cheese. It had a bit of a strange, unnatural taste, but was perfectly edible. This is the kind of food your mom made if she could cook. Probably a little better.
