What made gourmet airport food take off?
Our good fortune stems from the confluence of adversity and opportunity. The intersection of post-911 security issues and the cult of the celebrity chef have both fueled the growth of airport dining options. Even people who don’t cook watch food television, sport orange clogs and talk about their sustainable diets. And now that one can bring so little on board, demand has grown for better airport food options. The average household median income for Logan travelers is between $90,000 and $120,000. These well-heeled fliers were hungry for more. Today, food at Logan Airport hits the spot. Whatever the spot may be.
