Double-double fans, your time is now. Well maybe not now. More like “some time this year.” Double-double fans, your time is some time this year. That’s because a brand new In-N-Out Burger is coming to the LAX area, according to Eater LA. While the location on the north side of the airport at 9149 S.…
Uber is one of the best things to happen to travelers since tiny bottles of liquor. I use it constantly to avoid airport parking fees, hefty cab ride costs, and the indignity of showing up in a giant blue shuttle that took three hours to get to the airport. Figuring out the Uber LAX game…
While it’s nice to celebrate the best airports in the world, it’s equally important to call attention to the terrible airports, too. Jalopnik, the transportation-obsessed brother of Gawker, just released their list of “Ten of the Most Garbage Airports in the World” and it’s pretty much guaranteed to remind you of the time you went…
A couple of weeks ago, I shared the LA Times’ list of great dining options near LAX. It covered all kinds of genres from pizza to Thai to Jamaican to Middle Eastern but it didn’t grab everything. In-N-Out didn’t make the list, nor did one of my favorites, Aliki’s Greek Taverna. Another type of food…
If you won’t be chowing down on a pre-made box of hummus and beef jerky on your flight and the new dining options in the airport itself don’t get you going (although they should! Check out Petrossian, Rock & Brews, Kogi, and more!), surely you want to know where to eat near LAX. Luckily, my…
Rankings! Rankings! I’ve got rankings! You want some rankings? How ’bout you? Don’t worry. I’ve got rankings for everyone — that is, if you like major American airports. First thing’s first (I’m the realest): these aren’t my rankings. They were done by Thrillist, a site I’ve been a fan of for a very long time.…
As the first year of Fly&Dine draws to a close, I’ll be looking back on the stories that turned Fly&Dine from a tiny blog into a growing monolith (and major hub of hyperbole). With only two weeks left in 2014, let’s take a look at another popular story on Fly&Dine that proved using the word…
Back in late 2008, a former hotel chef named Roy Choi launched a taco truck that put a spin on traditional Mexican fillings with Korean flavors. Over five years later, the gourmet food truck craze has both exploded and subsided (at least in Los Angeles where it all began) and now, with the opening of…
LAX is undergoing a massive transformation and I’m really happy about all most of the changes. The Tom Bradley International Terminal is an oasis in international travel, American’s Terminal 4 has really improved the pre-flight dining experience, and other terminals have gotten major facelifts as well. That’s why it’s so disappointing to hear what the…
If you want to find the best restaurants, you have to go to someone on the inside. While food writers like me think we’re the experts, the true voices of reason come from inside the kitchens themselves: the chefs. That’s why I put so much stock in this list that Conde Nast Traveler put together…
Terminal 2 at LAX is kind of like that awkward cousin that lives down the street. While you and your friends United, American, and Delta play together, T2 is off in the corner drawing weird pictures of combination bear-dolphins. Every other terminal at LAX has a major carrier anchoring it, but Terminal 2 is a…
Who doesn’t love pancakes? Okay, you can put your hands down, Celiac sufferers. Everybody else, get ready for a pancake miracle. Alaska Airlines has upped the airport lounge breakfast game with “Popcake” machines that churn out pancakes faster than Sunday morning dads ever could. They’re essentially pancake robots that issue their circular products from an…
How much should a salad cost? $5? $10? $100? “Should” is a dangerous game to play. Free-market economists would tell you that salads should cost as much as the market is willing to pay. At Terminal 4 in LAX, Campanile is charging $18 for a salad (plus tax) and the market seems prepared to pay…
Just left the Admirals Club at LAX. Right before I left, they put out a huge stack of cookies. Nothing makes up for a two hour delay like some chocolate chip cookies, right? No matter what, I thought you might need a cookie right now — in digital form, at least.
