If I need to make a sports bet as fast as I can after landing at McCarron, what is the best book to go to?  Doesn't have to be the closest (i.e. the closest might be popular, therefore longer lines), but the fastest from landing to placing the bet. 
I got a guy on the other line about some white walls

Terminal D options: http://www.dfwairport.com/shops/finder.php?terminal=13&group=%25&type=restaurants
Honestly, the Blue Mesa tequila bar is the only serviceable place i've been, and it's not brilliant. There's a couple i haven't tried. BBQ places are garbage.

ORD Terminal 3:
Torta Frontera
Wolfgang Puck
Goose Island Brewery
Macaroni Grill is ok
La Tapenade

ORD: 5 star. DFW: 5  :flush:

Welcome back, Steve!

I never go to DFW. Why would an SFOian ever have to? Have fun with those domestic layovers, fellas!

michigancat, when considering whether to do this take into consideration that I ALMOST bought a FJM vinyl and had him sign it "To Michigancat, Fear The Beard. FJM." at his concert and mail it to you. I didn't, but almost. WOW.

You could do much worse with airport food.

First thing you mentioned in your Europe trip report thread is McDonalds. Maybe that's more your speed?
