Dunkin Donuts at the airport, fwiw, none of the cream filled donuts have more than 320 calleries. The reduced fat blueberry muffin comes in at 450 calories. The flat breads are under 400 calories but the chicken parmesan flatbread is near 500.

A frappachino at Starbucks is nearly 2 donuts.

Thats you're very random "eat this not that" thoughts from me for the day. Now, Panda Express (term E in ATL), you add 420 calories for white rice and 570 for fried, 400 for lo mein. Double orange chicken and rice is about 1,400 calories. However, I might still go have it for lunch. I am hard headed.
A chocolate frosted and a medium coffee with cream/sugar at DD is over 500 calories.

FWIW...but I do love them so...

The best is going to Starbucks in LGA or JFK and seeing the calorie counts. All of the "all bran" stuff is over 500 calories but the cheese danish is like 300. SCORE!

No more in LGA. It went fold-a-rama the other day.

I was there the morning after the employees got the word it would be closing, and no one bothered to show up. So it's like 7am and Starbucks was shuttered. The hordes of people were banging at the pull down gate like a scene from a zombie movie.

I skedaddled around the corner for some DD goodness.

Whats with the 3 hour sits in outstations like BDL? You get there and hand the keys to a crew thats been sitting for 3 hours and then when you're sit is up you get the keys from a crew that'll sit 3 hours.

Good Riddance. Starbucks sucks. Dunkin is way better.

FtB:
BDL is not bad. Nice food court near security. Been a few years but I do think they have WiFi to keep up with the APC habit.

True. Its not as bad as some, I'd prefer DTW/MSP/BOS for a 3 hour sit or even ATL. Its just its kind of odd since the plane is going back and forth to ATL and thus you could've done the sit at a hub instead of an outstation. It'd make sense if it ran off to another hub or FL or something, but just back and forth to ATL?

This by the way, is a question and not a rant. I don't want to use my allotment of rants on this by any stretch. I was just wondering if there was a reason. Again, not a rant.
