Airport Dining
So….as I sit in the Denver Airport with my closest friends in the world, I am intrigued on all of the great restaurants that are found throughout the airport’s of America. Some of my favorites include McDonald’s (I know it is a little trashy, but those fries are unbelievable!!), Cinnabon, Panda Express (I know it’s not real Chinese food, but I still buy it!) , Sbarro, Chick-fil-a (ohhhh….we love this place) & Taco Bell (this was a great late night college place, and it has stayed a part of my lifestyle ever since I graduated). For coffee, I always stick to the most consistent place in the world…Starbuck’s (the iced caramel macchiato takes me to heaven and back….I love it!). I know that we probably spend a lot more time in the airport than the average American, but I’d love to know what some of your favorite airport restaurant spots are……

WOW! I totally know what you mean! I think if I calculated right I have been in 30 airplanes in my intire whole very young life! My favorite I would say is McDonald’s or Starbucks. I agree with Ben the fries, though full of calories, are the BEST! Starbucks.. double chocolate chip frappachino with whipped cream on top, mmmmmmmhmm, very good. Those are my favorites. Ohh yeah when are you gonna announce the winner of Funky Poets?

Starbucks is most definitely the BEST!!! Can I get a Vente Carmel Mocha Frappaccino with an exrta shot of espresso please?!!! Panda Express is also the bomb. Actually I just took a college day to the college I will be attending for the next four years (OU Rulz!) and the actually have a panda express in the cafeteria and a Starbucks across the street from the apartments I’m going to live in! Considering that I’ve lived in an extremely small town since I was born, this is kind of a miracle for me! lol.

I suggest checking out the Airport Restaurant Wiki, which rates eateries worldwide. I tend to like things that aren’t chains, like Cibolo Wine Bar in Philly, California Burritos at Baltimore or Vino Volo in Seattle.
April 22nd, 2008 at 7:36 pm
well, i would suggest the Panda Express. I love chinese food! My other favorite restaurant would be Taco Bell, it’s da bomb! I love it’s cheesy gordilla crunch!! But thats what I would choose!
Thanks bunches,

Hey Ben! Yey! It is great to see you blog again…. ^_^ I agree with Ben about Mcdo Fries with a passion. I loooooove their fries. It is just the best in the world. I love it with ketchup. With Junior Chicken Meal. Or scrunch up between my fillet-o-fish. Or dipped in gravy. Sometimes, I love it with McFlurry. I love Chinese Food too! And Japanese Food sometimes. The best airport dining experience for me is at Hong Kong Airport at Ajisen Ramen. They serve authentic-style Japanese Noodles. I also agree with Ben about Starbucks. It is the ultimate comfort drink when you travel. =)

Well when I do get to go out of town (which is not ever often) My friends and I always hit starbucks not matter what. When we recently went to Sacramento for ATF we stopped 5 times total. Each time we all got something different and traded off. I’m not much into coffee, so I really like the caramel apple cider. I still drink coffee through. My favorite place to eat is probably Dairy Queen or anything with pizza.
We Nevada people love out pizza and coffee.

I always wondered why they don’t sell chicken tikka masala at the airport…….it would a great seller. Maybe i should open up a chain of restaurants called “Dillie’s ” Chicken & Tikka

Chick-fil-a is really cool because one time I went in there and they were playing the local Christian radio station–I could hardly believe that they’d be playing CHRISTIAN music in Chick-fil-a! And, of course, they have the best nuggets ever… And thier milkshakes are SO good!
Pizza Hut is also pretty good when you’re on the run at an airport.
Buy you can never beat good ol’ Mickey D’s. No one can make a double cheese burger and fries like them (as crazy as it sounds, it’s really true!).
Love y’all, ~Lauren
P.S. Ben, you should really blog more… You’re my favorite and you have an amazing voice and heart for the Lord.
April 23rd, 2008 at 7:47 pm

April 24th, 2008 at 9:42 pm

You can’t thrown out Ben. He is my favourite. And apparently, Lauren’s too!
And yeah, I agree with Lauren… Ben! You should blog more! I always check to see if you blog wherever I go… Whether I’m at school, work or church. ^_^
I find you very inspiring. And I loooooove your voice! I adore you as a person and your servant heart for the Big JC. And the hair. Maaaan, I LOVE it. Especially how you sway it to the side when you are playing the keyboard. Haha!
And this is why they can’t throw you out.
Haha! =)

My favorite coffee place is starbucks. They have the best mocha and iced carmle macchiato and if I dont have coffee in my hand I will have a coke, water, or a green tea with me. The place I like to eat at is Chinese place and McDonalds for the fries and shakes.
April 25th, 2008 at 11:10 am
I love starbucks!!!
:) 
<3
they have the best coffee and yet I dont really like coffee but I like theres weird!! but Hola everybody!!!!
April 27th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Starbucks is the bomb! I love going there with my Dad. He and I love bringing our bibles there, and just sit there and read. One time, we sat there and read for 2 hours! I personally love the mocha coffee with whipped cream and cinamonn on top! Yumm!!!!
April 27th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
I currently work at Chik-Fil-A, so naturally I’m glad to see you chose that as one of your favorites
haha!
Taco Bell is so disgustingly awful for you, but it’s got to be my favorite fast food place.. Tropical Smoothie is good and HEALTHY! what a plus! and if you stick a Starbucks in front of me I am entirely long gone
1. Caramel Macchiato
2. Java Chip Frappe with Mint
3. Mocha anything
4. Chai Tea lattes
and I can’t tell you how many more.
personally, I’ve never seen a Sonic in an airport, but I’m addicted to their smoothies - THAT would be pretty awesome. I don’t travel much though, so really, it wouldn’t do me too much good.
that’s what I get for living in the retirement capital of the nation (it really is, it’s terribly sad).
thanks for an awesome ATF Tampa experience, it’s my last and I’m so thankful you guys were there!
Pat - thanks for the advice with graphic design/band management. I’ll somehow let you know how it all goes, you rock!
praying for all of you guys!
keep rocking it bigtime for Christ,
your integrity really shows and I love it.

Hey everyone~
This is for Christian and JR. Dudes that JOKE about Ben leaving the band was just down right mean! People like your music, and if it changed, they might or might not like it anymore. I think everyone in the band puts something unique into in the music, if one left it would be totally different. So that is my oponion on that comment and DON’T ever make up lies. Even if they are a joke.
Later
