People who gatekeep fucking food can just shove it in their mouths and shut the fuck up.

What kind of life do people like this lead where they think EVERY SINGLE PASSING THOUGHT they have is SO important and insightful that they need to get it all out there?

Nah man you see they used long words and therefore it's fancy

If I am at an airport, I'm probably not gonna eat anything because I refuse to pay $50 for a single meal.

The airport is a wild place to judge and gatekeep others. Everyone is stuck there waiting, and depending on specifically where, you have limited access to anything brought-in and are at the mercy of massively overpriced options.

People eat at airports?

Who gives a shit what you eat at an airport? That's probably the most utilitarian food imaginable. Plus, because of all the unknown international cross-contamination, there's also the major "at your own risk" consideration. Complaining, judging, negging, or memeing about who eats what at the airport in any sort of serious capacity when it doesn't affect anybody AT ALL is bizarre and gives me "we have Seinfeld at home but he's just a cringe asshole" vibes.

The airport is a lawless place. 7AM? Have a beer. Tired? Sleep on the floor. Hungry? Chips now cost $17.

You can talk all the shit you want about MIA as the airport logistics and operations are trash, but the $6 empanadas at Versailles, la carreta on gate D37 and a couple of standalone empanada places are the best food at MIA by leaps and bounds, and way safer than any of the sushi, sandwich other of the microwave to table restaurants there.

People don't eat shitty overpriced airport food because they like it. They do it because they have no other choice.

If he is eating at an airport his beef likely came from the same factory as the cheeseburger.

Panda express is the best airport food imo. Its the only place I've consistently been able to get plain grilled chicken, white rice, and broccoli. Very boring meal, but it doesnt cause my digestive system to bloat up or twist itself into knots, which is pretty peak for air travel days

I look for the least overpriced meal and I get that meal.

Often it's a sandwich, but sometimes it's a burger. It's still overpriced, but 200% overpriced is better than 500% overpriced and pretending to be bougie.

My go to airport meal is pounding as many beers as I can at the bar so I hopefully pass out after I get on the plane.

I usually have second thoughts about eating food made by someone who knows his customers will be a thousand miles away when the dysentery hits.

Airports aside, I love it when people assume just because you like cheap food, it means you can't stomach or don't love good food, too.

Cheeseburger - provides a bunch of protein, fat, some salad and bread; it's an ultimately balanced meal and one designed for sustain people (e.g through flights or staying up at night/in the morning)

Some of us don't eat them that often because of our culture, anyway.

It's definitely what I would get. I always need extra protein packed all together.

Pizza - You just know it's going to be nice. Need I say more? It's less about comfort but about safety and not wasting money

"I spent way too much instead of eating before I left and need to make this about being better than everyone else."

I consider myself lucky to not have to eat at airports. When I fly, it's usually direct flights, so I only have to wait maybe an hour. Not worth it (for me) paying prices 2-3 times higher than the already ridiculous ones.
