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.

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.
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?

Oh man, don't go looking me up on Mastodon then...
I mean, this is a top 3 boilerplate response to someone sharing something boring online. Sharing is generally a pretty meaningful activity for humans. Sharing person to person is a lot better for us than shouting things out on social media but that’s the model that’s provided and the behavior that’s being modeled.
It's boilerplate because it's still true and people STILL can't tell the difference between insightful, useful information to share, and spewing stream of consciousness like they're a junior high school student who just learned about the concept and is ABSOLUTELY certain they're about to blow the world's mind with their unique and mind-blowing interpretations.
By the time you're old enough to be jetsetting, it's just pitiful.
"I spent way too much instead of eating before I left and need to make this about being better than everyone else."
People don't eat shitty overpriced airport food because they like it. They do it because they have no other choice.
Seems like such an American phenomenon. Food in US airports is by and large horrible, but in many countries it's pretty decent.
Mexican airport food also isn't that great.
People who gatekeep fucking food can just shove it in their mouths and shut the fuck up.
People who gatekeep fucking food …
How about we don’t fuck food at all
Whoa. You're the worst kind of gatekeeper. Simultaneously gatekeeping food and kink shaming.
Then you explain it to your mother. That pie was supposed to be for eating, not for sating your carnal lust.
Over airport food no less
Pizza gate keeping is amusing, no that isn't real pizza! OK, wtf is it then?
I do think a lot of things called pizza should be called flatbreads or something, but this is the first time I've ever expressed that opinion. It's just not that important.
Cannibals agree.
Bro got the palate of a latino 10 year old
Nah man you see they used long words and therefore it's fancy
Americans when they don't translate the food:
It is pronounced "quasson" 🥐
People eat at airports?
ppl eat at airports and brag about it?
I think they’re joking around because the idea is such insecure, hyperbolic clout chaser nonsense. It felt like a Simpson reference. “Only the most sensual dances. The lambada, the Macarena.”
Seriously. I traveled 100% for work for about 12 years and I ate at an airport maybe twice, and that was only because I missed my connection and was going to be there for like 6 hours.
I mean I'll stuff myself with food and booze when at a lounge for a layover
Don't see much point in visiting the airport restaurants tho
Also don't fly very often
If he is eating at an airport his beef likely came from the same factory as the cheeseburger.
Probably came from the same horse too.
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
Comfort food has nothing to do with health and nutrition unless your momma use to make you kale salad and organic quinoa bowls, which she didn't.
More like a hot pocket
No one's stopping you from microwaving your uncrustables.
In fact, Satan is egging you on.
