Delta’s taking over Terminal C [formerly US Airways] at La Guardia airport and is bringing a slew of big food names with it, Florence Fabricant of the NYTimes reports here. Delta’s customer satisfaction will most likely take flight, how can anyone be angry over a silly delay when they are able dine on dishes by chef Michael White or chef Andrew Carmellini (just to name drop a few)? I think they’re onto something here and I think I just signed up for Delta SkyMiles.
