I have to agree, Ivar’s is the best option at SeaTac. Decent food, not completely extortionist, several GF options (which is a rarity for airport breakfasts, but Ivar’s has hash browns and fresh fruit), and I’ve never had the feeling that the people working there want to rip off my face and feed it to the sharks.

In re: Deep Blue Sushi, it’s very *expensive* food poisoning, which is always better. You can’t really enjoy GI distress until you’ve paid $50 for it.

Simple answer, MvB – because it’s so much more fun having food poisoning in the air! I did that once, on a trip from Lima to Atlanta, and I’ll never forget it.

Srsly. Sushi at an airport? Why don’t I just give myself food poisoning and stay home?

Best fish ‘n’ chips in Seattle I’m almost positive. And now you tell me I can get a breakfast sandwich with crab, salmon or shrimp?!? Yes, please. I know where I’ll be stopping before my tip to SFO in May.

So Ivar’s is ‘probably the best restaurant in Seattle-Tacoma airport’. If it’s only ‘probably’, there have got to be some other decent airfood places.

Sadly, I’ve found none of them – whatever you do, don’t try to eat at Bush Airport in Houston. That place is a deep fried debacle.

And I refuse to accept that anything at the NYC airports is worthy to ingest.
