Good cheap eats in Eugene OR?
Cheap eats! I like Yi shen market for things like crispy pork and bbq pork. Lonches is a Mexican food cart. Everything is under $10, I love the carne asada burritos, $5.50. The Mexican market plaza latina has some good food for cheap, my fave is the chile rellenos. Things like avacados and limes are usually cheaper here. I like ordering beef fried rice at fortune inn, a Chinese restaurant. They have lunch specials for under $7! Good cheap produce, I have found is at Winco. I love market of choice, but they are definitely not cheap. Once Saturday market is up and running, I would suggest definitely getting fresh produce from there.
Kamitori sushi on Williamette street, has pretty good sushi. Lunch and happy hour specials under $10. Toshi's ramen is under $10. On a cold rainy day, I like the shoyu ramen. The gyoza is the best thing at Toshi's! Izakaya meiji, is a Japanese tapas bar, that I like. Hop Valley in Springfield has great happy hour meal prices for things like sliders and fries, $5 with a purchase of a drink.
Sixth street grill, a place I dine often. Has burger and brew nights for $7.50 on Tuesdays. Pegasus pizza, the best in town. Has $5 small 2 topping pizzas during lunch hour. The one on campus. The best Thai is Ta Ra Rin. The lunch specials are around $8. The pumpkin curry is awesome, but around $14. Little big burger are small juicy burgers. Off the waffle, is great for liege Belgium waffles.
Morning glory is a vegetarian/vegan breakfast cafe. Everything is under $10. Brails, studioonecafe for breakfast. New Day bakery has great freshly baked sour dough bread for $4, and delicious desserts like cherry cheese cake. Mini pecan pies.
Newmans fish and chips, is my favorite for halibut fish 'n chips.
Delacata food cart has some good southern food, for under $10.
Izumi sushi is one of my favorite places to go. They have a lunch combo for $10.50. Happy hour rolls are $3
With all my suggestions. I am from Vancouver, B.C. Where they have amazing ethnic food. But I have to realize, that I am in Eugene. It's not going to compare. You can't compare the food here, to say San Fran or LA.

Making Chinese Black Bean Sauce
Did you end up finding a good black bean recipe? I tried buying a jar of black bean sauce from the asian market, and I've also tried the one in the bag. Not sure what the brand was, but both were terrible. Both were way too garlicky and the other in the jar was just plain gross. What was I doing wrong? I love green beans and chicken in black bean sauce.

Best Burger In Vancouver
I love Fat Burger!!! WS burgers are pretty good, if you get it chargrilled, and easy on the triple O sauce
Five nights in Vancouver
It's too bad you don't want the downtown area. It's where I go, for a lot of delicious treats, where a lot of locals go, including myself. You can find everything downtown, from Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Indian, Greek, Italian you name it. I like Sand Bar from what I remember, in Granville island for seafood. There are a bunch of restaurants in that area, if you don't like sand bar. Here is the website. http://www.vancouverdine.com/sandbar/home.html
Commercial Drive, is a very eclectic neighborhood with a variety of restaurants.
Desserts, is a hole in the wall, but their chick pea and lentil stew is delicious, with a side of pakoras. My favorite italian bakery is on Commercial Drive Fratelli's bakery. Right next to it is a Italian deli, where they can make you delicious grilled sandwiches. My favorite is a mix of meats, w/ vegetables, Havarti cheese, and their pesto mayonnaise.
Another great restaurant is Stella's, http://stellasbeer.com/
it's a tapas restaurant with Belgium beer, etc.
I really like Banana Leaf, here is the web site, you can find the locations on there as well. http://www.bananaleaf-vancouver.com/
Malaysian food, my favourite items are the pineapple fried rice, the yellow coconut curry.
You can also do the tasting menu, if thats what you prefer.
If your son is a vegetarian, there is the Naam, which is near UBC. 2724 W. Fourth Ave.
Vancouver, BC
604-738-7151
Some people like the Foundation, on main street, which is vegetarian.
All India Sweets, is one of my favorite Indian restaurants, and there is a Indian Buffet, which is Vegetarian. Butter Chicken is what everyone loves. Have a mango lassi, its a yoghurty mango drink.
If you do go for Chinese, definitely do dim sum. Get Har Gow, which is a steamed dumpling with shrimp inside. I like the spicey fried tofu w/ jalapenos and garlic. Shui Mai, is steamed with pork and shrimp. Pretty much any chinese restaurant in Vancouver really aint bad.
Have some sushi, its really fresh in Vancouver, and much cheaper than anywhere else that I've been. Samurai sushi, is very affordable. You get a lot of bang for your buck. For Greek a lot of people like Stepho's on Davie street. Theres always a line, and they pile your plate high with food. The roast lamb is, pretty good. Sometimes its very good, sometimes its really crappy. But it seems to attract a lot of people !
Hapa Izakaya (Kitsilano), I like their babimpap. This restaurant is a modern, Japanese
restaurant.
1516 Yew St, Vancouver
Tel: 604-738-4272
PHEW, anyway, GOOD LUCK, and definitely have some delicious treats. Vancouver has a lot to offer, it is a multicultural city, with food from all over the world. Too many to list.
You should check this web site out http://www.dineouthere.com/restaurants/

Have FUN!!! and eat lots
Athens, GA - Good Eats???
Mary Mac's Tea room, was delicious. Chicken and Dumplings were great, and the deep fried green tomatoes. Definitely worth a try.
