Hordes of Americans will be descending on airports over the next 24 hours. Getting there early to get through security, followed by seemingly inevitable flight delays will have many searching for something to eat while waiting to take off.
There can be slim pickings for discerning diners at some airports, but the New York Times has published an article by Matt Gross with the lowdown on some of his favorite finds at the nation’s terminals. The Internet helped with his searches for good food:
Virtually all American airports have their own Web sites, complete with lists of every dining place in the terminals, which helped me narrow down my options. But discussion forums such as Chowhound.com, FlyerTalk.com and AirlinePilotsForum.com proved even more useful.
Among Mr. Gross’ most satisfying meals were the Cuban sandwiches at La Carreta in Miami and the brisket at Cousin’s Bar-B-Q at Dallas–Fort Worth International. For Southern food he recommended Paschal’s in Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson, where the sausage, grits and biscuits made for a “a nice cafeteria-style breakfast.”
