The kids are hungry, cranky and losing their minds and dad has to explain to them what aioli is or farm-raised means when all they want (and will eat) is food ordered by number and served by a cartoon character. I doubt they are impressed by the ability to get a Coach bag or a Brooks Brothers suit in a gd airport, and neither am I.

Put all the expensive stuff in airports, sure. I’m sure it looks great in the promos but give people economical, familiar calories to fill our pie holes between flights so we can get through the day and on to the next flight.
