If you are a frequent traveler and are looking for special food at various airports, here are seven suggestions for genuinely delicious cuisine.

1. The Salt Lick BBQ

   You'll find world-famous authentic Texas food such as smokehouse barbecue turkey, signature beef brisket, pork ribs, sausage, and a huge stuffed potato.

2. Amy’s Ice Creams

   Grab dessert in the form of an innovative homemade ice cream cone from a wall of unique flavors. Choose from Oreo Crush, Mexican Vanilla, Reese's Crush, Sweet Cream, Sweet Leaf Original, and lots of other endless customized mix-ins.

3. Five Guys
   Washington-Dulles International Airport: Concourse A and B

   Featuring made-to-order high-quality beef hamburgers and cheeseburgers served with copious amounts of fresh-cut French fries or a Cajun style Idaho potato is the specialty.

President Obama orders his cheeseburger with tomato, lettuce, jalapenos, and mustard.

4. Shapiro’s Delicatessen

   Included in over 40 options are Chicken Marsala and a Marinated Skirt Steak with basil, tomato, and a balsamic glaze. If you prefer, you can get a simple burger or a panini. A plus is that it is the only place open in the entire airport that serves alcohol past 9:30 p.m., which means something for those taking the red-eye.
