People don't eat shitty overpriced airport food because they like it. They do it because they have no other choice.

    Seems like such an American phenomenon. Food in US airports is by and large horrible, but in many countries it's pretty decent.

    Having been to airports in 20+ countries, they pretty much all suck. Decent meal in Hong Kong, one place in the US, and an ok one in Japan. The granola bar in the back of my pantry I forgot about until packing for trips is better than almost anywhere. Airports aren't for food.

    What ? People are often stranded in airports for hours and have been traveling on airplanes which almost always have either no food or awful food. People are tired, hungry, sometimes lonely, and seeking nourishment. They very much are a place for food. Having bad food and terrible prices is something the management of these places and the leaders of the respective cities should be ashamed of. I've had very decent meals at a number of European airports and Argentina and Brazil. I'm not talking about taking a date there to impress, I'm talking about a decent meal that doesn't fill me with regret like every single damn place at JFK for example.

    It seems like in us airports, you have to follow your nose to That One Restaurant That Actually Makes Good Food. Most of the places make substandard versions of whatever their chain sells outside, and for whatever reason their corporates are okay with them representing their brands that poorly. But there's always That One Restaurant, usually a local chain, never Sbarro gods I hate that place never eat there they are the only place I have ever given a thumbs down to I don't even think the cheese was melted on my "Arizona style pizza" I need an entire gram of weed to tolerate them and my niece loves them so I have to have a slice a year dear gods help me I'm getting nauseated just remembering eating there and I love pretty much everything

    okay haha funny wife she changed the autocorrect on my phone to change "everything" to "scrotum" because I like to write I love everything when talking about food. Or I just love scrotum that much and my thumbs are gettin real fat, could be a lot of things I guess. She's asleep right now. I'm going to have to ask her which niece put her up to this. I've gotten completely derailed and I don't care this means war. I think I'm going to... Hm. A good creative prank requires thought. Maybe something next week.
