Buffalo Wild Wings

The first meal on our Catalunya vacation was not in Europe or even in the air on the way there, but in Queens at JFK airport.  Our flight was at 11 pm so we weren't sure if there would be dinner on our flight (of course there was; why do we ever doubt KLM?) and stopped in at Buffalo Wild Wings for a sit-down dinner before our flight.  This outpost was a few gates down from ours, so it was very convenient.

M initially ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, but was told later they were out of grilled chicken (how is that possible?).  A crispy chicken sandwich with honey BBQ sauce was plan B.  The sandwich also came with lettuce, tomato and onions, as well as "natural cut french fries."  The sandwich and fries were both fine, but neither was anything special and it was kind of heavy as a pre-flight meal.

A got the boneless wings with Asian zing sauce.  (M did not realize there were boneless wings, instead skipping the entire wings section en route to ordering a chicken sandwich.)  The Asian zing sauce was pretty good - like a sweet Thai chili sauce with some heat to it - but the chicken was basically (overly fried) popcorn chicken.  The boneless wings came with carrot and celery sticks with ranch dressing.

A also ordered a lemonade to try to hydrate before the flight which led to a minor annoyance.  The menu notes that all soft drinks (which includes your basic lemonade) had free refills but our server told us that we couldn't get a refill.  After some pushback on our part, he relented and gave us one refill (but did not acknowledge that there were actually free refills and it was more like he was doing us a favor).  That was annoying considering how expensive the lemonade was and that we had only ordered it because of the free refills.

One interesting thing that our table had was a small video kiosk which claimed you could order from it (you couldn't really do that), play games and pay your bill.  We did use it to pay our bill which was convenient.

Overall, the meal was just OK but we weren't expecting much from airport food here to start off our trip.  Unfortunately many of the concourses at JFK just don't have great or healthy options.  This was the best option we found nearby!
