10 MORE Must Try Foods in Rockford For $10 or Less
You spoke, we listened. Here are 10 MORE incredible foods right here in Rockford that you must try! Plus, they are all $10 or less.
Back in February, we put out a list of 15 Must Try Foods in Rockford for $10 or less. We got quite a bit of feedback from the first list, especially questioning the integrity of beer or coffee being considered a food.
If you ask my humble opinion, they absolutely are. With a hectic and busy schedule, sometimes all I have for lunch is a tasty coffee drink. You say tomato, I say tomaahhhhto.
I decided to keep beverages off of this list, but one thing I didn't shy away from were your suggestions. Which ones are you excited to try?
