All You Can Eat

Ten Bites Under Ten Bucks

You can barely afford a cocktail, let alone a Senate seat. But a Hamilton still buys some of Miami’s best plates.

$10 A fried egg with potato crisps, Serrano ham, and truffle oil at Por Fin.

$9 Yeung chow fried rice at Tropical Chinese (7991 Southwest 40th Street, South Miami; 305-262-1552).

$8 Trio of duck fat fries at Bourbon Steak.

$7 Chicken skewers with peanut sauce at Indomania.

$6 Udon noodles at Hiro’s Yakko-San.

$5 Cheeseburger at Five Guys (actually, it’s $4.99).

$4 Fish croquettes at El Carajo.

$3 Tandoori roti at Mint Leaf.

$2 Three oysters at Monty’s (happy hour, weekdays, 4-8 p.m.).

$1 Two chocolate chip cookies at Orange Cafe + Art (2 NE 40th St., Design District; 305-571-4070).

Who said it’s all about the Benjamins?
