Finding something edible in the airport can be a challenge, especially if you don't want to break the bank. Sure,
there are some highly rated
restaurants, but most of the eating options involve fast food chains that seem to charge twice as much as their
non-terminal bound counterparts. Sick of bland muffins and bags of chips, the best way to find something tasty is to
look for the less common options. For example, the delicious, chewy soft pretzels pictured here are from Jay's Pretzels
in the Philadelphia International airport. At $1 a piece (or 3 for $2.50), they were a great snack and had a regional
flair. At California airports, look for smoothie stands the will serve up your "5 a day" in a cup that even
at $4 or $5 dollars will keep you full for a whole flight. Aiming for regional favorites is the most likely way to find
a good deal. Look for hot dogs in Chicago or pizza in New York, but if you want your snack to be reasonably
nutritious, some airports are known for having healthier food than
others, so just taking a stroll around - or keeping your eyes peeled as you dash to your gate - will help you find a
filling snack.

You should be able to get 'em at a better price than $1/each, and they'll be chock full of car exhaust goodness. And, really, that's the best way to eat 'em. :)
