Chef White's 5 Star Grill

Five stars, five items on the brief regular menu, about five square feet of grill — so far, everything fits. A hot dog was $1.25, but for a quarter more I upsized to a sausage, and another 50 cents won me a heaping tablespoon of beefy chili. Asked about specials, Chef White mentioned only rice and beans; the crabcake on his regular menu might also do in a pinch.
