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.
