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.

Oxford Canteen
The Oxford Canteen may have started out in the alley between South Depot and The Lyric, but it is far from street food. Nestled snuggly inside of compostable and recyclable containers, Corbin Evans’ menu is sure to please the hipster in you. When I’m not torn between a special (never miss Pork Fideos day), my must-haves are the Turkey Grinder ($10), Cheesy Chicken Ramen ($7), and Dirty Grains ($8).
