That Chicken Burrito thing is weird. At least the Turkey Grenade is a known quantity.

For me it was a tossup between the cheese pizza and the chicken wrap. They're both awful. The cheese pizza, however, made it to the bottom of my list.

I wonder how it would turn out with the FC entrees listed. I have had the worst food on PTY-EWR on my last two trips.

The cheese pizza is vile...especially if you are in the rear with the gear and it is semi-cool when you open it. Blech!

The steak pizza should be singled out as the most awful.

Are they still serving the "beef sandwich", which is distinctive from the "cheeseburger"? That has to be the worst.
I try to stay away from all the food in Y. It must have some sort of MSG-type preservative as it gives me a headache every time.

I think the breaded chicken sandwich is nasty. It's the bread more than the hockey puck and it's just wierd to have mustard with a chicken patty. Typicallly it's mayo elsewhere.
My issue with the pizza is the smell. Tomato sauce and parm cheese smells liked someone ralphed in such confined spaces. This opinion of mine goes back a couple of decades.

That atrocity they call "pizza" is downright vile half the time. I have to be REALLY starving to partake of that. Usually I just eat the salad that comes with it (which surprisingly is almost always fresh and crispy) and have the M&Ms (or whatever the sweet du jour is) for dessert with some hot tea.
