Turns out that The Bay area is considered one of the most expensive places to eat in the US. You’ll be hard pressed to find a quality egg sandwich on delicious everything bagel for $5 or less on most Bay area streets. Luckily for you, we’re your cheap eat experts, finding next-level, mind-blowing deliciousness that’s actually affordable. Join Nicole Wilhelm as she takes us to the tastiest bagel shop in Oakland for the cheapest lunch our 5 bucks can buy. We’re going to a local neighborhood landmark that’ll satisfy your taste buds and your pockets. Beauty’s Bagel Shop in the Temescal neighborhood of Oakland is a local gem serving authentic Oakland-style bagels and we’ll show you what makes them so special. We’ve only got 5 bucks, so we need to make every penny count… and here at Thrillist, we’ve definitely got you covered.
Thrillist is bringing back its popular cheap-eats show, but bigger and better than ever with three new hosts. Every week, we’ll explore all the best places to eat (that actually taste good) for under $5, and not a penny more. This season, we’re taking it beyond just New York City and traveling to Washington, DC and the San Francisco Bay to show you where to get the best bang for your buck. So if you need a break from the expensive, from the chains, or you’re just looking for new places to try in your city, this is the show for you. Welcome to “$5 Lunch.”

Nicole Wilhelm was born, raised, and still lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. A food-obsessor and serial entrepreneur, she works alongside her husband as the co-founder of a multi-million dollar real estate business. Whenever she gets a chance, she still loves to play like she’s a tourist and explore the city’s ever-changing hoods. You may find her in Japantown at Ramen Yamadaya slurping up some of the best ramen in the city or eating cornbread out of a cast-iron skillet at the “little restaurant that could,” at the Brown Sugar Kitchen.
