Quarter Chicken Meal
Kipp's Downhome Cookin', 1614 Monroe St.
The Scoop: No fancy schmancy dishes here, just huge pieces of the juiciest slow-cooked barbecue chicken in town. Kipp's has loads of side dishes, but go for the rich garlic mashed potatoes and tangy Boston baked beans.
Health Implications: Comfort food means one thing: butter â_ and lots of it.
Value: This meal will cost you around $8, but by the time you get to the corn muffin you'll feel pleasantly plump. Skip the slushy walk and have Kipp's deliver for an extra dollar.
