I love the idea, but a quick glance (randomly at SF) reveals entries that aren't "meals" (IMO, anyway) but rather snacks - like two spring rolls for $8, or a slice of pizza for $5.53. Also, the days of a $1 slice may have (long) gone, but $5.33 for a slice seems median at best, not "cheap". Have you thought about either some guidance, or even a filter, for meal size?

Yeah a quick glance and none of the ones I saw around my office are meals. I'm honestly not sure a $10 meal exists in SF anymore...

I like the idea. It would be nice a worldwide map. I mean, not only across the US.

Dropped a couple spots in my area. I like seeing the deals in the community section.
