NYC is arguably one of the most romantic cities in the world, but sometimes seeing couples in love just makes us want to eat our feelings. And no one understands that more than host Cody Reiss. In a quest to find the best comfort food in the city for 5 bucks or less, he takes us to Charles Pan Fried Chicken. Located in Harlem, this neighborhood gem serves up delicious soul-healing food for an affordable price. That is, after all, why Thrillist is your go-to, be-all and end-all for food recommendations. You know the rules: We’ve only got $5, so we need to make every penny count... and we’ve definitely got you covered.
Thrillist is bringing back its popular cheap-eats show, but bigger and better than ever with three new hosts. Every week, we’ll explore all the best places to eat (that actually taste good) for under $5, and not a penny more. This season, we’re taking it beyond just New York City and traveling to Washington, DC and the San Francisco Bay to show you where to get the best bang for your buck. So if you need a break from the expensive, the chains, or you’re just looking for new places to try in your city, this is the show for you. Welcome to “5 Buck Lunch.”
Cody Reiss is a Brooklyn-based food writer, comedian, and actor making video and written projects at the intersection of food and comedy. Over the past decade, he has traveled to over 35 countries and all over the US, working as a cook, farmer, cheese maker, and cheese monger. He’s tried over 400 cheeses and his favorite fruit is the fig.
