After living in Oxford, Mississippi, for almost 14 years, it can sometimes feel like I’ve exhausted everything our town has to offer—especially on the culinary scene. I’ve worked in special events for over six years and in the food service industry directly and indirectly during that time, but food has remained a personal and professional passion. I have compiled for the new-to-Oxford and the settled some inside scoop of 15 food bites for under $15, making living deliciously more affordable than ever.

Rice & Spice
Rice & Spice, rain or shine, rushed or relaxed. The employees at Rice & Spice are like family, mainly due to our frequency of visits and willingness to try menu experiments. With prices hitting right under $12 (lunch has a complimentary appetizer!), it’s just the right price. You cannot go wrong with Kou Gai Noodle, Tom Yum Shrimp Soup, Chicken Cashew Nut, or my latest obsession—Nu Nam Tak.
