Impossible to find a good meal at the airport?

While most of us wouldn’t think about heading to the airport specifically for a good meal, let’s face it: For all the time we spend in them, it would be nice to count on something better than Chilis or food court Chinese from time to time.

Luckily, the New York Times‘ so-called Frugal Traveler, Matt Gross, tackles this very subject this weekend, sussing out where to nail down some good noshes as we make our way through the country’s major hubs this holiday season.

Among the airport restaurants that get a shout-out from Mr. Frugal are Vino Volo at JFK, Figs at La Guardia, Bistro del Sol at Altanta, Dickey’s Barbecue Pin at Dallas-Ft. Worth and La Carreta in Miami.
