Cask & Larder, OIA

One more interruption before I get back in order. I ate here last Saturday night. I never fly out of this terminal (Gates 100+). Of course we give Southwest and Alaska our best terminal with the best food because everything is ass backwards in this town. They told me that they closed the one in Winter Park and this one is not just an airport knock off but a "real" dining effort. It has been here for a few years (3?). I wasn't really hungry, but, I grabbed a bacon cheeseburger (with chips) and an ice tea from the to go window. It was good. The burger was a bit worked over and over cooked, but, it still had a nice beefiness and char to it. The bun was good. The bacon was very good and thick and smoky. The tomatoes were treated in some unusual way. Almost a cross between a pickling and  a sun dried flavor. It also came with bibb lettuce. It cost a reasonable $10. The tea cost under $3. The chips were an artisan sounding packaged kind. The burger costs a few bucks more if you dine in. They said it would be bigger though. The menu seemed similar to the Winter Park one. It has been a while. Prices too. They also sell pre made meals and local snacks l(ike Wondermade marsh mellows)in the to go area. The setting is open with a kind of latticed dome over head. There is a separate bar area too. It's easily the best food experience at the airport. I believe they stay open until around 8pm (or when the place clears out).
