Avarice Appetite in Airports

PA announcements of flight delays, noisy walkie-talkies, baby outbusts, golfcarts jockeying with passengers rushing down terminals, ahhh, the sights and sounds of Newark airport. I'm off to London for GoNomad and fighting an empty stomach and dry palette waiting for my connecting flight. I knew I should have ate a bigger breakfast before I left today. A blanket of fog delayed my departure from Albany and dozens of frustrated travelers missed their connections. I stayed calm knowing my connecting flight wasn't leaving until several hours after the sun set. So, here I am. Hungry. Needing food asap. Not willing to wait until I'm airborne with Continental. There's Steak Escape to my right, a greasy taco joint to my left, suits pushing up to Brooklyn Bar behind me and the Continental Airlines Elite Club to my aft. I can probably weasel my way into the Elite Club for freebies and riveting storytelling if I try.... Here goes nothing....
