but yes, if you are hungry, the average club will do little to whet your appetite!

And well over half of the restaurants at all ORD terminals are closed due to low demand/health concerns. Your only "restaurant" option may be take out at a McDonalds and a seat at some gate. Filter the web page below for eateries in ORD T3 and you will see what I mean.

IMO a quiet seat in a lounge is infinitely superior to most other seating option at most US airports.
