"Insane Airport Chex Mix Prices Exposed Through Crowdsourcing"

TV writer Kylie Brakeman crowdsourced Chex Mix prices at various airports, revealing a wide range from $3.49 in New Orleans to $13.29 in Las Vegas. Despite airport rules on pricing, there's significant variance between airports, with Washington Dulles and Dallas Love Field having higher prices than their counterparts. New York airports, infamous for high food prices, are high but not the highest for Chex Mix. Brakeman suggests bringing your own food through security and recommends Dallas - Fort Worth, Minneapolis, and Salt Lake City as preferred hubs for more reasonable prices.

New York Times columnist David Brooks sparked a viral conversation on social media after complaining about the price of his $78 airport meal at Newark Liberty International Airport.

The restaurant, 1911 Smoke House Barbeque, confirmed that Brooks had eaten there and defended their pricing. The incident highlights the ongoing issue of high prices for airport food, although airports have been making efforts to improve food options. The restaurant has capitalized on the attention by introducing a new meal called the "D Brooks Special" and urging support for small businesses.
