The price of a baked potato at a restaurant is stupid high. Unless you don't have an hour. Then the price is completely reasonable. It sucks. But if you have an hour you can make a baked potato. Two even. And make them very unhealthy with toppings.
Cost per person $1.01

I've been subbing in Greek yogurt for sour cream, and I no longer taste much difference. Some would call it blasphemy, of course. I've found that dried chives (unlike dried cilantro) work pretty well for sitchy-ashuns like this, too. Then there's a sprinkling of nutritional yeast and dried roman / parm, which... is a healthy but pitiful sub for that delicious-looking cheddar there, lol.
As for a fried bacon alt, luckily for me with my fridge still on the fritz, the local super recently put packs of uncured turkey bacon on sale, so I've been grabbing them up. $2.50 for a pack of 14 slices (3oz) where they're normally at ~$7. They store at room temp indefinitely, and kinda taste like a cross between fried bacon and jerky.
The image is enormous, so I don't want to paste it in:

EDIT: Maybe a solar oven to help replace the fuel / electric cost of one hour of oven's use?
I haven't seen shelf stable turkey bacon. I could see some utility in that.
I'd like to do a solar oven but in my research most of the designs are incapable of reaching the temperature needed to bake much of anything. The only real option that actually works is a rather expensive large fresnel lens based one.
I'm wondering how close it might get during the hot summers you have. Yeah, something to research...
An inverted lighthouse? That's interesting. Would look pretty cool, methinks.
Or maybe one-way tempered glass could work.
