Photo of the day: Chicken, ribs or fish? July 17 2009
‘I keep the prices lower down so everybody will be able to eat here.’
I met Angela Arnold this morning in the parking lot of Helping Hands Thrift Store in southeast Atlanta, where she was hard at work serving up plate after plate of affordable grub.
“I make barbecue ribs, barbecue chicken, hot dogs, hamburgers and fried fish. Everything here is home-cooked and it all comes with a side order of potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw and two slices of bread. It’s $5 for the chicken dinner, $6 for the barbecue ribs and $6.50 for the fish. You can’t beat it.
“I keep the prices lower down so everybody will be able to eat here. I quit my job as an administrative assistant to sell food here, and now I will be out here every Thursday and Friday. Yesterday was my first day, and we sold 20 meals without any advertisement.”
