Airport Food at MSP|MKT Humphrey Terminal

MSP!MKT at the Twin Cities Humphrey Terminal

MSP|MKT Humphrey Terminal

Airports have really upgraded food options.  Gone are the day of hot dogs and bad pre-wrapped sandwiches.  Terminal 2, the Humphrey Terminal, is the smaller of the two departure/arrival facilities at the Twin Cities International Airport.  On a recent morning we were headed out on a quick trip  to California to have dinner; that's another story.

Although cutting it a bit tight on time, the traffic was light and the TSA security went quickly despite John's 100% rate of being pulled aside for more scanning and patdowns.  This offered thirty minutes for something quick.  Away from the other food services, MPS|MKT offers 'anything between bread' ... or it might be 'everything between bread.'  At Marianne's Kitchen, Linda and Anne took the venture far beyond a basic egg sandwich setting a high standard.  The expectations for 'airport food' at MSP|MKT were low.

MSP|MKT Pastrami & Egg

The pastrami and egg sandwich reminded me of Marianne's Kitchen.  The friendly staff said it would be five minutes.  Obviously many customers cut things close in boarding.  Her question was very thoughtful and respectful.  The sandwich arrived in five minutes.  Bigger than I expected the egg was nicely fried and served with a totally adequate amount of pastrami on a lightly floured bun.  The only criticism was the lack of napkins which complicated the slightly too much sauce situation.

Grab and go sandwiches and salads, labelled 'made just before you arrived here' looked fine and fresh fruit and fruit cups were also available.  The flatbreads were enticing but it was morning and it seemed it should start with an egg.

The egg and pastrami sandwich and orange juice was around $13, reflective of airport pricing.  The staff was friendly, it was clean and helped set the stage of a long day of sitting on an airplane.
