These are our favorite Jazz Fest meals for under $20, with big portions for sharing

There are so many Jazz Fest food vendors serving wonderful dishes at an affordable price, but after a while those $10 dishes can add up.

A po-boy here, a crawfish bread there and maybe even a side of BBQ oysters will cost a pretty penny at the end of the day, especially if you tack on a few drinks.

If you still want money for some BayouWear, you might just want to have one plate that fills you up and maybe you can split it with a friend.

So, for those looking for a respite from spending more than $20 per meal but still want to feeling satiated, here are some of our favorite cheap dishes that could also be shareable.
