I'll take the bait. How did you spend 24 dollars on a meal at the airport? I use that airport all the time and never spend over 15 dollars. Heck, most of the time I have the presence of mind to eat beforehand so I'm not dining on expensive airport food. And you're saying we're the dumb ones?

So $24 for a chinese meal including what must have been a $10+ beer? Maybe you need AA?

The beer was 7.99. A coke was like 3.50. I went for the better deal.

How much was a glass of water? I know you're American, but you are actually allowed to consume a beverage that isn't packed with sugar.

If all the other airports followed suit, we would have a lower level of obesity.

Correct. If all lunches cost $24, Maericans would weigh a lot less.

This whole thread is yet another point of evidence suggesting that most of rojo’s posts are drunk posts. The guy must have an open beer in hand 80% of the time.

I just looked over the first page, and all but one of the restaurants look like fast food to me. One of them literally has a refrigerator full of prepared sandwiches right in the picture. How much more "fast food" can you get than a grab-n-go sandwich?

You guys act like everyone lives within 2 hours of a major airport. A lot of people spend 2 hours commuting to work in Portland and they live 15 miles from downtown AND they do this every g*ddamn day. No it is not super convenient to get to Eugene but it is hardly that big of a deal.

This is Rojo at his best!

Great stuff, his 'man on the street' series.

If you are commuting 2+ hours a day you should rethink your life.

This is a great thread.

SFO Airport is not too bad. I'm generally in T2 (Alaska, American) and there's no real fast food and nothing that doesn't hurt the wallet. Thanks, SF. SF is a bizarro world. It's expensive, not that high tech, and dirty and gross.

Seriously, this is a great thread.

Haven't you guys heard of Cliff Bars?

I travel with 3 granola bars, 2x3oz of Blanton's in my "TSA approved 1 liter bag" and an empty nalgene bottle. I'm generally good.

We always fly into LAX for US West Coast meets. Have you been to The Mystery Spot in San Jose?

Are you kidding? The restaurants at SFO are terrific. They have a great local burger place and great burritos elsewhere, as I recall.

You have a strange fascination with San Francisco and Silicon Valley.

I appreciate that list. There surely is no better set of restaurants (65 of them) in an airport in the world. Miami looks like nothing after that. Burger Joint would be your choice for great fast food.

Outside of security in the international terminal there is a decent burger place (Potrero Grill) and a fully functional Wendy's. I've found SFO to have excellent food choices overall and as someone mentioned Terminal 2 (AA, Alaska) is totally solid. Right now though Terminal 1, particularly the Delta and Southwest gates, are under construction so the choices might be limited there.

Great thread.

Yes, but on the flip side SFO food is oretty good quality. And an airport beet is always nice.

Its better than say chicago. What a terrible place to eat.
