Airport Dining Has Come a Long Way

Greetings from the Atlanta Airport!

I left these two chickens in Charlotte this morning (I don’t even think they noticed I was leaving) and Ubered to the airport for a flight to Florida to visit my parents. I woke up at 5:45 a.m. to a text message informing me my Charlotte to Atlanta flight was delayed and as I result I would miss my connection in Atlanta. I got online, rebooked myself on another flight a few hours later and then got two more hours of sleep. Not the worst way to start a vacation and thanks to Delta for making it easy on me. (They’ve been so good to me on this trip…they changed my reservation with no fee when I accidentally booked the wrong travel dates!)

I landed in Atlanta ready for lunch. I grew up flying in and out of Hartsfield Jackson (I’m from Georgia) and every time I fly through here I am always so impressed by how much the airport keeps changing. Today I got to my concourse (D for reference) and walked in to find Food Network Kitchen.

It’s a nice market/cafe with soups, sandwiches, salads, coffee drinks, etc. The offerings and menu are unique to Atlanta and everything has a local spin on it.

A restaurant that plays the food network instead of sports definitely wins me over! 🙂

You can either order in the market or sit down and order from an iPad.

This looked like the perfect spot for me to people watch and get some work done so I sat down and ordered.

peach sandwich

The first item on the menu is “The Big Peach” – all natural ham, brie, georgia peaches, local honey and thyme on a locally baked ciabatta roll. Once I read this there was no turning back, especially since it was served warm. I am happy to report that it was as delicious as it sounds and I savored every bite! I will definitely be using this sandwich for inspiration this summer as peaches come into season.

zoey kingdom

I’ll leave you with one more Zoey picture. We were clearing and cleaning the back patio a few days ago and getting rid of some old chairs. Zoey has now decided this is her kingdom and when you throw her ball to her, she brings it back to this spot and stands on the chairs or the brick and drops the ball for you to throw. Love this stinker.

Time to fly to the beach! I’ll see ya from Florida soon!

What’s the nicest airport meal you’ve had?

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
