I think the only thing I've ever eaten at O'Hare was a muffin from Starbucks
when my flight was delayed. (After all, how many times have you said, "I've
got a good idea -- let's go to the airport for dinner!")
I do understand the food at O'Hare has been upgraded recently, but I suspect
that surprisingly you can't get a good Italian Beef or Chicago-style hotdog
there. (The fact you couldn't get sauerkraut is understandable -- we don't
use kraut on our dogs around here (with good reason IMO).) A Chicago-style
hotdog, BTW, has mustard, pickle relish, sliced tomato, kosher dill (sliced
the long way) -- or sometimes cucumber, chopped onions, celery salt, and hot
sport peppers.
There is Connie's pizza at O'Hare now. Nowhere near as good as Pizzeria
Uno, Gino's, or my favorite -- Nancy's Stuffed, but passable.
