(Albert Samaha\/The Washington Post)<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<p>PHILADELPHIA \u2014 He\u2019d already spent a grand on tickets, plus hundreds more on flights and lodging, so by the time Edwin Hernandez arrived from Ecuador for the World Cup, he was determined to minimize expenses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI try not to eat much,\u201d said Hernandez, a 26-year-old software developer from Quito. \u201cKeep this as cheap as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That usually meant McDonald\u2019s or Subway. But hours before Sunday\u2019s match, Hernandez allowed himself a small luxury, making his way to Pat\u2019s King of Steaks, the world-famous cheesesteak shop, only to find a line of yellow Ecuador jerseys snaking through the patio.<\/p>\n<p>Soccer fans from around the world have poured into the United States for the World Cup, delighting Americans with giddy social media reviews of American culture, an exotic offering of big-box stores, sprawling rest stops and state-of-the-art stadiums. The Brazilians perused Target; the newly minted German influencer Freddy road-tripped through the South; Moroccans celebrated their new favorite NBA team, the New York Knicks, winning a title.<\/p>\n<p>And no matter where they went, they engaged in the most America-circa-2026 pastime there is: looking for cheap food.<\/p>\n<p>For visitors who have plunked down thousands on travel, not to mention the most expensive tickets in World Cup history, food is one cost they can control. Bankers from Mexico City, who each paid $500 for a France-Senegal ticket, found salvation at Chick-fil-A and Joe\u2019s Pizza. A father from Paris traveling with his two young kids, raved about the fried rice at a New York City<b> <\/b>Chinese food joint. From street tacos to bodega burgers, ramen bowls to Times Square pizza, they\u2019ve tried it all, so long as it\u2019s all cheap and, hopefully, cheesy.<\/p>\n<p>At $19.99, a cheesesteak at Pat\u2019s pushed the bounds of Hernandez\u2019s daily budget. \u201cI wasn\u2019t expecting everything to be so expensive,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll ever be in Philadelphia again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He found a place at the back of the line, popped in his earbuds, and hoped his lunch would be worth the wait \u2014 and the price.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4598\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/c65db3b7da519a2b81f5436f7970302a-1024x768.jpeg\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/c65db3b7da519a2b81f5436f7970302a-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/c65db3b7da519a2b81f5436f7970302a-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/c65db3b7da519a2b81f5436f7970302a-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/c65db3b7da519a2b81f5436f7970302a-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/c65db3b7da519a2b81f5436f7970302a-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/c65db3b7da519a2b81f5436f7970302a-800x600.jpeg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figcaption>World Cup fans Zach Arnold and C\u00e9dric Higel at Shake Shack in New York&#8217;s Penn Station. (Albert Samaha\/The Washington Post)<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<p>For C\u00e9dric Higel, there was hardly a choice: If his beloved Les Bleus were playing in the World Cup across the Atlantic, he was crossing an ocean to see them. He had been dreaming, planning and saving for this trip, he said, for three years.<\/p>\n<p>He traveled from France to see his star-studded squad take on Senegal on Tuesday, a French victory that featured a screamer from Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 that ignited the crowd into an awed roar.<\/p>\n<p>But it came at a cost: $1,300 a ticket.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish I could have seen it for less,\u201d he said. \u201cEverything is so expensive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Which is why, after the game, he found his way not to some chef-driven hot spot but to an order-on-a-kiosk fast-casual staple available in most U.S. states: Shake Shack.<\/p>\n<p>After trains from New Jersey delivered him and thousands of others back to Penn Station, in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, they didn\u2019t have to go far before encountering a bountiful row of American fast-food joints along an underground plaza streaming with foot traffic. Beside Shake Shake, Raising Cane\u2019s and Dos Toros, France jerseys were everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere you have as many fast-food brands as you have restaurants in France,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>This was Higel\u2019s second time at Shake Shack. His first time, he left unimpressed, preferring a cheeseburger he\u2019d had earlier on the trip from a New York bodega. This time, he tried the version with bacon, which he deemed \u201cnot bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roberto Acros, from Ecuador, paid $500 each for tickets to two matches, so he, too, is aiming to keep expenses down, under $2,000 if he can. He took a bus instead of a train from New York City to Philadelphia, and public transportation over cabs. Food wise, he\u2019s using a timeless New York-on-a-budget strategy: \u201cThe pizza is very nice,\u201d he said. \u201cEverything in all of New York is very expensive, but in Times Square, $1.50 for pizza is very nice for me.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/?p=4594\">Argentina may have America to thank for Lionel Messi\u2019s latest World Cup heroics<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hernandez and others said that back home they\u2019re high earners who can afford to occasionally splurge on fancy restaurants. But their money doesn\u2019t go far here.<\/p>\n<p>A ticket to see Les Blues against Senegal cost more than the average monthly rent in France. The price of the cheapest ticket to Ecuador\u2019s game against C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire was higher than the average monthly salary in Ecuador. A train from Manhattan to the stadium in New Jersey cost $98, a World Cup price hike for a route normally set at $12.90. Parking at the stadium lot in Philadelphia cost $150, three times the price at Eagles games.<\/p>\n<p>For many visiting fans, spending that much at a sit-down restaurant is out of the question. So they\u2019ve turned to more affordable American staples.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPizza and burgers and hot dogs,\u201d said Sebastian Garces, a 33-year-old who owns a coffee farm in Ecuador, as he carefully maneuvered a giant pepperoni slice dripping with grease at a bus stop in Philadelphia. He loves it, he said.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4599\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0e0c2ea0f0481cf77f5e1db69d822420-1024x691.jpeg\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0e0c2ea0f0481cf77f5e1db69d822420-1024x691.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0e0c2ea0f0481cf77f5e1db69d822420-300x202.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0e0c2ea0f0481cf77f5e1db69d822420-768x518.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0e0c2ea0f0481cf77f5e1db69d822420-1536x1036.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0e0c2ea0f0481cf77f5e1db69d822420-2048x1382.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figcaption>Some lucky World Cup fans found the street tacos.

He needed time to return to his hostel to change into a fresh jersey, a good plan for a man in line for a cheesesteak, already drenched in sweat from the stifling humidity.<\/p>\n<p>But the line moved, more than a dozen orders placed in half an hour, the mighty American fast-food machine humming along. Soon he was faced with the ultimate choice: Cheez Whiz or provolone?<\/p>\n<p>Hernandez said he saved for months for this trip. He had attended all of the team\u2019s qualifying games in Ecuador with his father, a cab driver who preferred to build his retirement savings than shell out for the compounding costs of a World Cup vacation. But Hernandez called it a \u201conce-in-a-lifetime experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t have any other responsibilities, no kids,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is the right time to spend money on this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He bought tickets to group-stage games for around $630 each, plus a Round of 32 match in New Jersey, figuring that if Ecuador wasn\u2019t in it, he could sell. He had already resold a $1,200 ticket to a Round of 16 match in July for $1,600. He hoped to stay within a $400 budget for all other expenses.<\/p>\n<p>At Pat\u2019s, he ordered what the man behind the counter recommended: the classic version with Cheez Whiz and onions, piled over sliced beef on a warm roll. Before he\u2019d even ordered his soda, his sandwich was ready, handed to him on a paper wrapper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was fast,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Taking a big first bite, Hernandez described the iconic American delicacy as \u201ccheesy,\u201d then added for clarification: \u201cBut I love the cheese.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/?p=4591\">Pro-Israel and crypto money roils House Democratic primary<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After going broke on tickets, there\u2019s only one way for these fans to save a buck: eating cheaply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4596,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
