We Have a Winner!

First of all a big thank you to everyone who entered our contest! We got a lot of great suggestions and were very impressed by the resourcefulness of our readers. So here's the moment you've all been waiting for. The Winner is...

Jeremiah C. with the Sky's Tacos lunch special!

Sky's Tacos located at 5408 West  Pico Blvd. is a small restaurant you could easily drive by without noticing but it's definitely worth the trip. As a matter of fact we almost wish we didn't know about this place because now we can't stop thinking about it. For $3.79 you get a Beef,

chicken, or turkey taco with rice and beans. While this isn't the biggest meal that was entered it was certainly the best. We had a number of taco related suggestions, some much more filling, but this was quite possibly the best taco I've ever had. If you happen to want to try something else Sky's has a very large, very reasonably priced menu and I for one intend to try everything on it.

Coming in a close second was Michael B. & Amy C.'s suggestion: The Breakfast special at the North Hollywood Diner!

Served from 5am until 10am on weekdays, The North Hollywood Diner's breakfast special is a great start to your day. There are three options and all of them come with unlimited coffee for only $3.95. This deserves extra points for being the only entry that was a sit-down restaurant and even after tip and tax this meal still comes in under $5. The North Hollywood Diner is located at 11329 Magnolia near the corner of Magnolia and Tujunga.

And finally we have the most unique suggestion and our honorable mention: Tamara C. with the Madison Kitchen's lunch special!

Even though it didn't make the top two we thought we had to talk about this one and give props to Tamara for sending us the most unique entry. Tucked inside the basement of a church at 1029 East Vernon Ave., the Madison Kitchen is a cafeteria style restaurant that serves a wide selection of southern style meals for reasonable prices. The lunch special we enjoyed for $4.99 is your choice of a meat, two sides, cornbread, and a drink (and yes, they have southern sweet tea). The Madison kitchen is open from 11am to 3pm Monday- Friday and it has a staff of incredibly nice people who tell you to "have a blessed day" when you get your food!

Once again, thank you to everyone who entered the contest and we leave you with a little collage from some of the places our readers suggested!
