NASCAR fans, start your engines. If you’re down with Dale Earnhardt Jr. (as opposed to indie rock band Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.), then this should come as very good news. The NASCAR driver owns beer and wing depot Whisky River in Uptown Charlotte and now he’s teamed up with HMSHost to open an outpost of…
If you’ve been using the Genius In-N-Out Trick to snag free rides from LAX to the In-N-Out via the Parking Spot shuttle, then the world is now a different place. A couple of weeks ago, I reported that the Parking Spot was sending out letters to its customers that they would now have to provide…
If you feel like it’s too early to have Airport Restaurant Month again, you’re right. The first one was barely six months ago in October 2014, but that’s not stopping HMSHost from rolling out Airport Restaurant Month 2105 in May. Just like last time, airport restaurants all over the country are offering multi-course chef’s tasting…
As a resident of the other, considerably warmer coast, I don’t have much of an opinion of LaGuardia. I do my best to avoid it at all costs as the food options have been abysmal there for years (decades, even?). The New York Times, on the other hand, seems to think LaGuardia should die immediately.…
Idaho’s not the first place you think of when it comes to craft beers or craft distilleries, but Bardenay is out to change that. The Idaho mini-chain purports to be the nation’s first restaurant distillery, which means they make booze on-site while you eat calamari. After opening locations all over Idaho (Boise, Eagle, Coeur d’Alene),…
Fast-casual powerhouse Chipotle has a complicated relationship with airports. You’d expect the pairing of make-your-own burritos/tacos/salads to be a perfect match for frequent flyers, but Chipotle currently only has locations in four US airports (PHI, BWI, IAD, and ATL). That said, the airport locations have been the source of some serious experimentation over the past…
You like beer. You like high-end bar food. You travel a lot. While there are tons of options on the ground for the intersecting points of this Venn diagram, there aren’t many spots in airports that offer a great selection of local beers, quality food, and a place to wait for a flight. Until now.…
Cross Grains is the new airport brewpub that aims to satisfy your hipster desires for craft beer, cocktails, and artisanal food. Take a look at the menu for the Boise Airport location (BOI), which will also serve as the template for menus in Oklahoma City (OKC), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), and Charleston (CHS). To learn more…
Sprint has done everything it can in the last few years to get your business, but fake lawyer Kevin Durant doesn’t seem to be convincing that many people to cut their rate plan in half and the Framily Plan failed so spectacularly that Verizon and AT&T are laughing about it all the way to the…
There’s a new club at LAX and with Virgin Atlantic at the helm, you know it’s not going to be the same-old, same-old. Yesterday marked the grand opening of Virgin Atlantic’s newest Clubhouse. Situated inside Terminal 2 at LAX, the 4,000 sq.ft. space should prove to be plenty hospitable to Virgin Atlantic passengers thanks to…
Less than a week after reporting about a new In-N-Out near LAX, the golden goose may be dead. Surely you’ve read the Genius In-N-Out Burger Trick by now, which means you’re fully aware of how to get to In-N-Out during your LAX layover for free. That literal free ride may be going away very soon.…
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.…
If you liked yesterday’s news about Montreal’s new airport restaurants, you’re going to love what’s happening in Houston. Starting in early 2016, you can expect 15 new dining spots and 6 new Starbucks scattered throughout terminals A, B, C, and D at George Bush International (IAH). HMSHost, the same global group responsible for the new…
Get ready, Québécois, because your airport food is about to get an upgrade. HMSHost, the global airport concessionaire, just announced that they won the contract for 19 new dining areas at Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport and they’ve already got some great plans in the works. Some of the highlights from the press release: L’Auberge…
