Flying out of DCA at ungodly hours of the morning is a pain. Doing so on a rushed breakfast or empty stomach is worse. Fortunately, airport cuisine has improved a good bit since back in the day. The last time I flew out I was able to grab a variety of items from a "mini-mart" of sorts in Concourse A. This time, I went into the Georgetown Gourmet Market on Concourse C. In addition to fruit and yogurt I selected my go-to fave, a tomato-mozzarella sandwich. An hour later, on the plane, I really enjoyed it. Super-fresh ingredients and a thin but rich bread made for a satisfying sandwich. My only wish was for pesto, which would have given a needed kick to an otherwise good but unassuming dish. Somewhat pricey but worth a second visit as options are limited. As an egg eater I am frustrated that no one at the airport seems to have egg sandwich options, but I quibble. This made for a great substitute. As I have a good deal of travel coming up, there will likely be more airport fare to sample.
