Aviation Chief Wants Better Food at O'Hare

New city Aviation Commissioner Richard Rodriguez said yesterday that some of his goals are to improve the food offerings at O'Hare's concession stands, as well as adding live music:

[Rodriguez said,] “We’re known for great jazz and great blues. We’re known for sports and…great food. How do you make the Chicago airport system reflective of that? How often do entertainers have an opportunity to come and play given concerns with safety and security? It’s very challenging to try and just open the doors for anyone to come and perform in the airport…But I’m sure we can develop a plan to try and give our traveling public …more of what Chicago has to offer.”

How about developing a plan to make sure anyone will actually want to eat there, and maybe get the planes to take off on time? But in a city with an odd sense of priorities, we're sure replacing the Cinnabons with Ann Sathers will come first. So what food/restaurants would you like to see at O'Hare to really represent Chicago's dining scene? [S-T]
