Food That Makes Your Tastebuds Soar

Airports serve as a hub to the wide open road in the sky. Many travelers simply use them to board flying contraptions that can send them anywhere around the world within about half of a day. However, with air travel rapidly increasing, airports are becoming much more than waiting rooms. Some of the largest airports in the United States, like in Atlanta and New York, offer dozens of gift shops and dining options in each terminal to entertain and profit off of the thousands of passengers that pass through.

Last week I made a lengthy travel to Kentucky to spend a week with some friends. On my way back to Daytona I had to stop at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta and wait for my connecting flight. My layover was around four hours. Instead of sitting around on my tablet waiting for my flight to arrive I decided to take a walk around the gigantic terminal and see what options were available to satisfy my appetite.

I found typical chain restaurants such as TGIFridays, Popeyes, and Five Guys, but I also found some real gems. I settled on Grindhouse Killer Burgers, a local chain that offered burgers for an affordable price. I captured my experience through SnapChat and uploaded it to my YouTube channel. You’ll notice the location was like a miniature bar-and-grill restaurant, which was a definite positive in terms of atmosphere.

I was very pleased with the food, service, and price. It was seasoned wonderfully, was delivered in about ten minutes, and costed around $5. It was definitely worth my time and money. Post in the comments if you have any recommendations of delicious airport cuisine! I’d love to try them!
