It took more than thirty years after the very first LongHorn Steakhouse opened in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood in 1981, but Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) finally has an outpost of the chain for travelers desperate to get some charred beef in before a flight. Just opened on February 2nd, the airport version of LongHorn resides…
So I was cruising around Twitter and came across this tweet from @steglobal (retweeted by Heathrow Airport): Superb thought by Gordon Ramsey – @planefood in @HeathrowAirport have picnic boxes to takeaway in chill bags. BRAVO ! pic.twitter.com/4yYD41wQje — ste global (@steglobal) February 17, 2014 That. Looks. Awesome. Allow me to dissect the tweet…
If you watch food TV, you know Curtis Stone. He’s currently the host of Top Chef Masters, but you may have caught him on America’s Next Great Restaurant, Around the World in 80 Plates, Take Home Chef, or any one of the fourteen thousand* shows on which he’s appeared (*possible slight exaggeration). No matter how…
If you’ve been to the beautiful Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles inside the L.A. Live complex in Downtown LA, you’re either (a) a wealthy individual who knows the joy of staying at a Ritz and can afford their room rates or (b) you went to WP24, the neo-Asian fine dining restaurant from Wolfgang Puck on the 24th…

While everyone may be freaking out about Delta’s new 80’s-themed safety video (it was all over my Facebook feed last week), Air New Zealand has been making viral safety videos for a while now. You may have caught their incredible Lord of the Rings safety video back in 2012 or their more recent one where…
We’re right in the middle of Winter Travel Hellâ„¢ (trademarked by pure evil itself), which means that flights around the country are getting delayed left and right due to terrible weather conditions. Those delays equate to far more time in the airport than you expected and for anyone who didn’t anticipate those delays, there’s a…
TWO DOLLARS. That’s what it costs to fly your bag in terms of jet fuel. Or at least that’s what a new study by the Detroit Free Press says. US carriers pocketed $3.5 billion in baggage fees in 2012, so it’s obviously a major revenue source to them, but come on. That’s a 1250% markup.…
Which wine pairs best with tiny bags of peanuts? That’s a question to ask any of the 28 airlines that recently participated in Business Traveller’s 2013 Cellars in the Sky Awards. The competition, run annually since 1985, is based on blind tastings conducted in London in December 2013. Four judges independently score the wine, although…
Ah, the First Class Lounge; that shangri-la of tiny sandwiches, premium liquor, and showers that I’m not even that afraid to use. If I had access, I’d go every day. It would be my country club, my sanctuary, my really upscale Starbucks. The problem is, lounge access costs major dollars in the form of memberships…
You’ve got thirty minutes before your connecting flight boards. You’re starving, but there’s no time for a sit down meal and you don’t want to wait for anything to be cooked. What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO? First of all, calm down. You’re going to grab a sandwich. At least that’s what…
If you’re flying through South Florida in the next few years, you can look forward to brand new dining options thanks to airport restaurant mavens HMSHost. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is getting a major culinary upgrade in two phases over the next four years and that means you can finally snag some Starbucks as…
One of the biggest complaints I hear about food in airports is that it’s just not healthy. DFW has apparently heard those complaints, too, and they’re trying to fix the problem with their new “Eat Healthy at DFW” campaign. That means that every single one of its dining outlets is going to be offering at…
