2800 Maynard H. Jackson Blvd., Atlanta.
Open 10 a.m.-10 p.m. daily
Consider: Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta has, give or take, about 130 dining options.
Among the food court hot dog stands and fast food chains, there are some better options. One Flew South on Concourse E serves a tourist-friendly menu of sushi and New South cooking. The new Atlanta Chophouse in the atrium features serious steaks. All the same, the world’s busiest airport has long honed its reputation as the world’s most boring place to eat with the world’s most forlorn flight-delay victims.
Well, attention, passengers: The next stop is Concourse F … Concourse F, as in “feed your face.”
The March opening of Ecco in the new Maynard Jackson International Terminal marked a serious upping of Hartsfield-Jackson's game. A near duplicate of the Midtown restaurant of the same name, Ecco serves small plates, pizzas, pastas and a few main courses. It's "Mediterranean," which here means Italian with a few sidelong glances toward the coast of Spain and its tapas culture.
Flight delay? No problem.
