AIRPORT DINING GUIDE: WHERE TO EAT IN 10 TRAVEL HUBS
Forget about dashing through the airport and grabbing a stale croissant before boarding. Erase any memories of soggy quesadillas, cardboard-y pizza, lukewarm coffee and fast food that you’d never normally eat outside of a terminal. Airports nationwide and overseas are stepping up their food game, offering everything from fine-dining options to fast-casual fare that will eradicate the notion that decent food is only available elsewhere. From Shake Shack and Petrossian caviar, to Rick Bayless’ griddle-baked tortas and Wolfgang Puck’s four-cheese pizza, read on for the best airport-dining options wherever you may fly.

From the same restaurant group is the new Blue Smoke on the Road, which, in addition to excellent all-day barbecue, has seating near huge windows for plane-watching and daydreaming. With North Carolina pulled pork on the menu, along with Memphis-style beef and Kansas City spareribs, there’s little need to fly anywhere south.
