You can also try some of the food in the Admirals Club but I think the verdict is pretty much out on that stuff.
The Beachcomber cafe at the end of the new terminal (D) looks appealing until you read the menu - conch fritters etc - sounds a bit dicey to be eating at an airport resto.
Good luck!
If ever there was a post that demonstrates the sort of preception problems AA or for that matter MIA faces this is it...
" conch fritters .. dicey"... almost incredible
Do try and get out more often...try other foods other than pizza or matzo ball soup and you might just like it.
FYI conch fritters is an extremely popular and tasty item one finds on the menu of lots of Caribbean or South Florida type menu eateries.
MIA is not and never will be a New York city airport and thank God for that.
The sooner some here get it into their craniums that the great majority of the users are South American and Caribbean pax and that MIA should and will reflect that simple reality even more and more. If one is unable to handle that then just dont use MIA because it aint gonna change ... and fact that its by no coincidence that these routes just happen to be the most profitable in the entire AA system.
