Whoa there, let's dial back the disdain for BWI eats. My routings usually give me the option of either MDW or BWI as a connection point, and all things being equal, it's BWI all the way. And that's before this recent MDW downgrade.
Both Phillips and Obrycki's offer serviceable-to-good crab cakes, better than you will find in 95% of US cities, much less airports. Sorry to hear that Phillips is currently MIA.
The loss of Potbelly at MDW is tragic. Those employees understood the needed urgency and did a great job.
