Some sort of award for an American royal team to set up for a year. Seemed like a cool idea versus just having KC Joe's there.

Rotational gives a fresh place for people who don’t regularly fly to KC to go to whenever flying in/out as well. Keeps it different so people don’t have the same thing every time which I think is the best idea they could present

Whatever you think about CFA's (noxious) corporate activism or (garbage) product, it is obviously better PR not to have them. Asking to exclude them, which is affirmatively positive for the city, is less "virtue signaling" than thrashing about on the internet in defense of a multi-billion dollar company -- you have no purpose here except to "virtue signal" that you won't bow down to the, ahem, "SJW crowd" (lol again). Rally all your gamer bros to publish your own letter railing against this decision or get over it.
Literally, nobody see's a CFA (In basically every metropolitan area btw) and goes "What a shithole city.".

Except for a deranged, delusional extremist.


Give it a break.

I hope you have that same fire raging and speak up about every CFA everywhere you go. Otherwise your hypocrisy is showing.

The rendering in that PDF that was posted a few days ago just shows a generic-looking spot with a big "BBQ TO GO" sign next to it at the very bottom of the slide deck. Considering they have a bunch of brand names for everything else, is the BBQ provider just not selected yet, or is it just going to be something generic? Or is there something newer that I didn't see with more details?
I was at KCI recently (Terminal C) and went to KC Brewpub. Same thing. Some generic god-awful restaurant with crappy food and nothing to do with KC at all. KC Brewpub had these beers on tap: Goose Island IPA, Budweiser, Bud Lite, Stella Artois. Not a single KC beer. I hope the new terminal has nothing like this.

Wow that is some heated words. The financial aspects have not been released from all bids to compare (and I am not sure if they will be). It's not the individual businesses owners fault necessarially they wern't picked so while it's unfortunate for them I don't think they have much to argue on right now. Blame the master operator. Sounds like Vantage had a compelling deal plus the right proposed vendors. I am fine with the 'rotating' BBQ option. In fact, I think it's a great idea. We don't want people to get the impression that the airport BBQ how to judge the city's best. If they want Joes, go to the real Joe's. I mean, we have Sweet Baby Ray's brand in the outfield at Kauffman.

Also nobody is judging a city cuisine on the airport. Chill out people.

Is it possible that you will go away if I shut my eyes and cover my ears? One can only hope.

Three Little Pigs? They won awards at contests. It wasn’t Joe’s but it wasn’t remotely “slop”

I really don't think it matters that much. The good thing is that KCI will actually have some options for food. ChiFilA's are everywhere including airports in big liberal cities. It has no impact on KC's image that one might be at KCI. But why select something that will be closed on Sundays?

It was absolute trash. I need to take you to Slaps so you'll agree with me.
The place on the first level was bad. Really really bad. Brisket boiled in water bad

New pictures posted to the FB page. The arrivals pick up area looks depressing and dark, and roadway looks like it’ll get backed up with more than two flights arriving at same time. Two things I was initially afraid wouldn’t be done right seemed to have not been done right..

The roadway are pretty long. 4 lanes for cars and dedicated lanes elsewhere for Uber, busses, etc.

Why would it get backed up? We will be removing departure traffic and bus (rental car and economy) traffic out and I'd assume Ubers as well. Also we now have 700 plus feet of curb line. That's about the same as half of one of the current terminal circles curb line.

From the experience I’ve had at Austin’s airport, which has a similar system for their arrivals, I’m mostly bracing for the worst. As long as we have a dedicated ride share/Taxi pickup spot we should only have to worry about POV traffic. This is definitely a situation where I hope I’m wrong.
