Also Amys Ice Cream - it's a local favourite.

Hmmm, Terminal D has a
LOT more choice than that - a couple of TexMex, a Cool River, also look upstairs at the second level - the restaurants up there get overlooked and they're generally quieter
The article doesn't mention San Jose which IMO has some of the worst food, and the most crowded places. Eat there as an absolute last resort.

I couldn't agree more - that's one of the
BIG negatives to the cut backs in service on the US carriers.
