(Press Release) Fusion East Introduces $7 Balanced Meal to Support Food Affordability in East New York

BROOKLYN, NY — In response to rising food costs and the everyday challenges faced by local residents, Fusion East Restaurant has introduced a $7 balanced meal aimed at making nutritious food more accessible in East New York.

Located at 1179 Elton Street, Fusion East now offers a complete $7 meal that includes a vegetable, a protein, and one carb. The initiative is rooted in consistency and practicality, designed to provide a reliable option for community members seeking an affordable, filling dinner.

Owner Andrew Walcott said the idea came directly from listening to customers and observing the realities many families face.  The $7 meal is only for takeout, which aligns with the concept of taking the food home and eating dinner with your family.

“I wanted to offer something that feels like real dinner, a vegetable, a protein, and a carb, for a price people in the neighborhood can actually manage,” Walcott said. “It’s a balanced meal, and it’s real food.”

Rather than framing the $7 meal as a limited-time promotion, Fusion East is positioning it as a steady option for residents who need predictability when managing food expenses alongside rent, utilities, and transportation.

For customers, the value goes beyond the price point. One regular patron described the impact of the meal in simple terms.

“When money is tight, you start cutting corners, and food is usually the first place it shows,” the customer said. “That $7 plate lets me eat something that feels like a proper meal without doing math in my head the whole time.”

While conversations about food affordability often focus on large-scale solutions, Fusion East’s approach reflects how neighborhood businesses can contribute in tangible ways. By offering a consistent, balanced meal at a manageable price, the restaurant aims to meet people where they are and support everyday stability within the community.

Fusion East’s $7 meal is now available at its East New York location and continues to be part of the restaurant’s broader commitment to serving real food for the neighborhood.
