Airport guilty pleasure?
I travel ALL the time and mostly the food is horriffic. But I have a soft spot for: those JetBlue JFK terminal prosciutto and mozz sandwiches: totally dry but oddly satisfying! and at Toronto's Pearson airport-- the non-descript restaurant bar in Terminal 1 near gate 130 --"Shanghai noodles"-- totally microwaved glop but the sauce is tangy and good and the noodles have a toothsome bite! Please-- more suggestions!

I connected through Dulles a couple of weeks ago and was elated to see a Five Guys in the terminal. After a couple of weeks out of the country that was a welcome sight.
If you're ever traveling through Indy, the new airport has several outposts of local joints that are fantastic - Shapiro's deli, Cafe Patachou for breakfast-type stuff, King David Dogs and Harry and Izzy's with the world famous St. Elmo shrimp cocktail to name a few.

There's this random little greek(I think?) place in Chicago O'hare by gate F 6-8 ish area, and I always grab a gyro if I'm connecting through. I think that terminal is either US airways or united.

Flying is the only time I will eat Cinnabon... so good and sooo bad for you. I always seem to get stuck in airports that don't have much variety for fun places to eat.

Chick-fil-a!

Add me to the Cinnabon and Chick-fil-A lists. Rarely do you have the chance to honestly justify junk food by saying "Compared to everything else, this was the best choice."

Cinnabon, beer and french fries (can be found at at least one restaurant in any airport.)

Cinnabon. Gosh those things are good.

The fresh brown bread slices at the Shannon and Dublin airports.
Salmon from the Olso airport
Sushi from Heathrow
Toblerone from Duty Free (I know, I can get it now at my local grocer, but I still remember the days when you couldn't and it was always a special treat and a much-requested item from friends at home)
Jamon bocadillos at the Madrid airport

I wish there was a chick-fil-a in airports I end up in. I'm always flying through Phx and it is the WORST for food, I swear. I always end up paying through the nose for burger king or just being hungry.

@joyyy, I feel your pain. Reno is my nearest airport, which for some reason guarantees a connection in Phx. There a bomb breakfast burritos in Denver- a little out of the way place at the end of one terminal; don't remember what its called, but very decent burritos and worth the hunt if you have time.

At Houston's Bush airport, try the fried gator at Pappadeaux in Terminal E.

Yet another vote for Cinnabon, they taste so good at the airport. At the mall, not so much.
