What to Eat at 30 North American Airports, Summer 2016

From pre-flight cocktails at Atlanta's One Flew South to locally caught fish and chips in Seattle

The land of airport food is rife with McDonald's, and TGI Friday's. But thanks to some enlightened planning, a slew of fairly decent eating options are starting to infiltrate airports across North America. Case in point: The entire Austin airport smells like smoked meat thanks to the Salt Lick's barbecue. You can wash down farm-to-table steak tacos with a strawberry whiskey cocktail at an outpost of the beloved Banker's Hill restaurant inside San Diego International Airport. The likes of chef-driven gyros are on their way to BWI outside Washington, DC. And countless celebrity chefs — names like Marcus Samuelsson, Cat Cora, Tyler Florence, and Wolfgang Puck — are throwing their weight around in the terminals.

Here now, a guide to the good, the bad, and the ugly of airport dining across North America. Click on the city of interest below for detailed terminal-by-terminal information, updated just in time for the busy summer travel season.
