BUF (Buffalo Niagara International Airport)

Some airports impress me with the local food and beverage selections, like the Salt Lick Barbecue at Austin-Bergstrom International. But sometimes you just want some food that's going to fill you up and force you to make an extra trip to the bathroom before you board. I love bathrooms. And I love the Matties Texas Red Hots at the Buffalo airport, with stands located near Gate 21 and Gate 4. The website describes the food better than I can: "A local favorite serving a variety of smoked sausages with all of your favorite toppings." Jiminy, that's good! Even better, they start serving at 5 A.M. on Monday through Friday, so you can get that sausage fix as early in the day as you like. 5 A.M. is also when the airport police begin their daily walk-throughs, so just in case you're keeping guard, you might want to finish up whatever you're doing by about 4:50. The odds are pretty slim that anyone's ever going to bother you, whatever it is you're doing, but just to be safe, you may want to zip up by then. One thing that I dislike about the Buffalo airport is that they charge $6.95 a day for wireless Internet. When you're visiting multiple airports a day, like I often do when I'm in an especially frisky mood, those Internet charges can add up quickly. It makes me angry. The whole point of going to the airport instead of a hotel is that it's free! (Besides the airport having planes that let you travel places, but that's not the point! Jiminy!)

LARRY'S BOTTOM LINE

"34.5% of flights out of Buffalo are delayed! And they're always out of paper towels! Jiminy!"

If they ever run out of sausages at Matties, you can just get more in the bathroom, Larry, if you know what I mean. Hubba hubba.
