What a surprise! Was at the DFW airport yesterday... Popeye's wanted just shy of $18 for two pieces of chicken. A small bag of chips at the store next door was $5. Unbelievable.

Airport food is like stadium food. They know you're kinda stuck there and probably in a hurry with limited options.

I hate it. Try to never grab a meal at one even when I'm traveling for work and the company is paying.
