Article: Best eats at 20 busiest U.S. airports

Inevitably as a frequent flier, I find myself at the airport or in a lounge somewhere eating mediocre-at-best food waiting for a flight.  I ran across this article on cnn.com that I wanted to share.  It'll be valuable to keep your in your back pocket as you travel the country some day.

Among them:
1. For my monthly trips to Seattle

# 19. Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA)

Anthony's Restaurant started as a single seafood joint in 1969. Now the company consists of 22 locations and a private fleet of fishermen.  Each location -- yes, even the one in the Central Terminal -- serves seasonal Pacific seafood and shellfish from the Northwest, Alaska and Hawaii. The mountain blackberry cobbler is an addictive Cinnabon alternative.

2. For our next trip to Disney World

# 17. Orlando International (MCO)

Orlando airport seems to be unaware of the current revival in airport restaurants. Nonchain options are limited.  You can try your luck with a latte at ZaZa's Cuban Coffee or the sliders at Johnny Rivers' Grill and Market. But you might be just as happy going with what you know at Qdoba, Burger King or Outback.

3. Upcoming trip to Phoenix in June

# 10. Phoenix Sky Harbor International (PHX)

Ask any Phoenician where to find the best tamale and they'll point you to El Bravo in Sunnyslope. No time to get there during your trip? Check in at the airport early and snag one there.

The family team makes its famous green chile tamales at its original outpost every morning and drops them off, so you're getting quality.  "People will try one for lunch and like them so much they'll buy a dozen frozen ones to take home," says Monique Othon, whose grandmother created the original recipe.

4. And of course my home-town airport, JFK. 

#11. John F Kennedy International, New York City (JFK)

Chef Andrew Carmellini's New York restaurants -- The Dutch and Locanda Verde -- are always packed.

Can't be bothered? Stop by Croque Madame in Terminal 2 and grab his food to go. On offer: French-inspired open-faced sandwiches, crepes and made-to-order salads.
