If you are looking for a new place to fly for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you may want to take a look at a list of fly-in spots called the “Best of the Best” created by John Purner, the founder of “The $100 Hamburger.” Purner used feedback from a pool of 54,000 web-based subscribers to create a short list of 26 airport restaurants. The “Best of the Best” shortlist includes restaurants spread around all four corners of the country.
In order for the subscribers to be able to vote for a restaurant, it had to be listed in the latest print edition of “The $100 Hamburger, the 2014/2015 Edition.” This resource only includes restaurants located on an airport, not near one. The status at these restaurants runs the gamut. “Some are very, very impressive, high dollar, white table cloth, uptown style cafes; others are downhome, family spots,” said Purner. But they have one thing in common. “Each is special,” Purner said.
