Because the only thing you can do in your life is come ona nonymous image boards and bitch about food at airports designed to get you the fuck out of where you are

>>5438265
What in the effing fuck is "sub sauce"?

>>5438276
Probably thousand island.

>>5438276

its kind of like quinky sauce

>>5438276
Italian dressing, or something very similar.

>>5438265
I think it's the lack of competition, and possibly sub-standard facilities depending on the airport.

I had a Pesto Chicken Panini and a Matcha Smoothie from Booster Juice last time I was waiting for a plane. It was pretty good, better then anything else in the Airport (Halifax).

Airport food doesn't taste well because when in a plane, the air pressure makes your taste buds less sensitive, and makes food don't taste well because of that.

because it doesnt even 1% matter if its any good or not. they're not going to be getting repeat customers so theres literally no reason to even attempt to make you satisfied. they already have your money anyways.

sauce for subhumans

>they're not going to be getting repeat customers

Unless you have a reason to pass through that airport again.. which is true for a lot of travelers.

I had a pretty good quesadilla at SFO. Maybe a bit overpriced, but it's an airport after all.

SFO was a pretty pleasant experience in general.

>>5438315
Pretty much my experience. They invest more in looking good than actually being good, because what are you going to do during your 1 hour layover? Rent a car and drive out to a restaurant that serves real food?

>>5438315
No company would do something mean like that

Rick Bayless' place at the American terminal in O'Hare has amazing tortas.

>>5438265
Idk, man. I remember having a kick ass sandwich in Copenhagen. The bread was toasted whole wheat, I believe... the toppings were grilled chicken, marinated red onion, some green stuff and other veg on it and some sauce whose contents I can't remember. Good stuff to wash down with a pint.

Burger King in the UAE is pretty sweet.

>UAE
No thanks, I'll pass.

>>5438304
Which airlines do you take that has chain restaurants in the plane?

>>5438265

Who the heck goes to a pizza place and gets a... sandwich?

>>5439852
They have the best sandwiches.
>that warm doughy pizza dough bun

>>5439852
Hungry Howies subs are pretty boss.

>FOR YOUR SAFETY, USE BOTH HANDS

seriously?

>>5439896
>seriously?
Yes.

Because no one wants to work at the airport so you have shitty cooks working with shitty managers making food for a hostage audience.

Ironically, the airports bar food in America is often good enough. But their drinks suck and are double the price of surrounding establishments.

the quality is lax because there will always be demand in this super limited market.

>>5439890

How can anyone defend Hungry Howie's. They're a shit chain, no better than Schlotzsky's or Fazoli's.

>>5438291
PRET A MANGER!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssss I HAD ONCE

>>5441736

no better than panera bread.

>>5438291

pret is love, pret is life. whenever i go there i stare at the sandwiches for minutes on end. so hard to choose

>>5438291
Pret is really nice and all but their sandwiches are just too small. I never feel full up from them and I'm not even a fatass.

>>5442453
>Pret is really nice and all

Yeah, prepackaged sandwiches, "really nice and all"

>>5442990

>make nice sandwich
>put into package
>suddenly it's not nice

>>5438291
The fuck is this? I've never heard of it, those look great for premade taste like taste sandwiches.

British chain for sandwiches. They've got a middle-class demographic. They can be pretty good sometimes, sometimes not so good. The only sandwich I think is genuinely good is their ploughman's but I would say none of their items are bland. They do toasties and salads too.

>>5442453
I agree but I'm like that with most sandwiches. If you get the long ones, though, they're more filling.

Based ORD:
> Tortas Frontera
> Berghoff
> Goose Island
> Wolfgang Puck Cafe

Decent non-chain fast food, too

The Goddess and the Grocer at the International terminal is a nice sandwich place
