I can’t recall a time where lunch was $5 unless it was a special somewhere.

I used to work with a dude who would go to Our Lady of the Lake to eat lunch.. I think on Thursdays because they used to have a $2 special. This was over 10 years ago.

Dude used to eat MREs on a regular basis because his firefighter friend gave him a box of them right after Gustav. His lunch was... Once a week the Our Lady of the Lake meal.. The other days it was MREs or meals that would be ordered if a meeting would go through lunch. So he spent $2.16 a week on lunch.
