Terminal 5 (JetBlue) JFK in NYC

John F. Kennedy Airport
Terminal 5

This is a two-for-one special. Surprisingly, the airport food at the JetBlue terminal at JFK does not suck--maybe not so surprising--JetBlue tends to generally not suck--good for them.

#1 5ive Steak -- stupid name, fine burger. A very competent, steakhouse-style burger. Nothing to write home about, but you're in an airport, so considering the context, count your blessings, Chachi. This burger checks all of the boxes, but it doesn't stand out in any one area. Also the burger is grilled rather than griddled, so it doesn't get that flavorful sear that is the mark of a standout burger---see #2

#2 Revolucion -- yep, a Mexican restaurant with the obligatory burger on the menu so that everyone is happy. That's what you think. This is a tasty burger. The griddled crust on this fat burger is especially flavorful, because they use the same griddle to cook all that chorizo and other stuff on---that flavor infuses the burger, and it is one hell of a lucky accident. All in all, an excellent burger, thick, well-prepared--no flaws. Considering you're in a GD airport, you're lucky to not be eating at Wendys.

Overview--Go for the Revolucion burger, and be grateful that JetBlue exists.
