Earlier today I told you about the debut of HMSHost’s Airport Restaurant Week running for the very first time starting in November. Now I’m back with some menus for you. The first one is from Dungeness Bay Seafood House at Seattle’s Sea-Tac Airport. The second is for the very-punny Cowboy Ciao at Phoenix Sky Harbor.…
Restaurant Weeks have popped up all over the world as a way to entice diners to come in and try new places that may be out of their daily options for whatever reason (usually price). Now, the Restaurant Week concept is finding its way into your local airport thanks to HMSHost, the global airport restauranteur.…
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…
Who knew that buying a cup of clam chower could be so valuable? At Boston’s Logan International Airport, that cup of chowdah lets you skip the regular security line and head through the First Class line instead. Even better? It’s not just chowder that helps you out. If you buy anything at the Legal C…
There’s a discussion going on over at /r/Travel on Reddit where people have been naming their biggest travel pet peeves and it’s inspired me on this fine Friday morning. So let’s play a game. It’s called “Name Your Biggest Travel Pet Peeve.” The rules are simple: you name your biggest travel pet peeve in the…
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…
Don’t sound so surprised, pal. Reindeer is a part of Finnish cuisine and of course there’s Finnish food at the airport — when it’s an airport in Finland. If you’re like me, though, you probably don’t know much about Finnish food. I’m a professional food writer and I couldn’t name the top dish in Finland…
I realize how absurd that headline sounds, but it’s true — and it’s not just goats. Llamas, sheep, and donkeys are all pitching in to get some landscaping done at ORD in a super eco-initiative called the Sustainable Vegetation Management program. It’s actually the second year of the Chicago Department of Aviation initiative and the…
Everybody loves TSA Security Checkpoints. They’re fast, efficient, non-invasive — wait a second. I’m thinking of KFC. Sorry about that. TSA checkpoints are terrible. They’re full of blue-shirted authority figures yelling at shoeless clusters of travelers forced to prove that they’re not terrorists. Unless you have TSA Pre-Check (and you should! It’s awesome!) and get…
Who doesn’t love a nice stop at the Duty Free shop? The liquor selection is usually enormous and without paying that tax, you’re saving a nice chunk of change. Food Republic contributor Emily Saladino (disclosure: I don’t know her, but I’ve been a columnist for Food Republic for years) dives into the airport liquor (and…
Airports are known for taking the foods you normally enjoy, then cranking up the price and serving an inferior version. While that’s not the case at great places like Tortas Frontera at ORD, it definitely holds true in a lot of airport dining options. At MIA, though, the behemoth international airport in Miami, you can…
I honestly can’t believe it’s almost August. Why is this summer flying by so quickly? In any case, it was another great week at Fly&Dine and we hit all kinds of hot button issues. On Monday, we announced the opening of a DC favorite over at DCA: Ben’s Chili Bowl Opens First Airport Location at…
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…
It’s been a Washington D.C. favorite since 1958 and now travelers to D.C.’s Reagan International Airport can stop in for Ben’s Chili Bowl signature “chili half-smoke” chili dog or a chili burger before a flight — although maybe that’s not the best idea before flying… Either way, get a taste of D.C. at Ben’s starting…
