| - Why 5 stars? Because cheers to airport food that's actually really great!
--- --- ---
Before making the flight all the way back to Tampa, I knew that it would be smart to grab something to eat at the airport. I'd only been to PHX one other time, so I had no idea what restaurant options I'd find, but I found the selection to be pretty solid compared to most airports. I walked by a burger place that I was super tempted to order from, but then I noticed the really great reviews at Wildflower.
As I was reading glowing review after glowing review, I was looking at the menu and a bit confused. These looked like some pretty basic sandwiches, and while I love a good sandwich, the nearby burger option was tempting me.
But I went and order the sandwich and after one bite, I completely understood why this place is so beloved. The bread is amazing. Why is the bread not like this at every sandwich shop? I'm not sure but this simple sandwich was probably one of the ten best things I've ever eaten an airport.
I actually don't even remember what the sandwich was called. My wife happened to take a trip to Phoenix one week after me, and per my recommendation, she ended up ordering the same thing. She insists it was called a grinder, but there's nothing on the Wildflower online menu that's called a grinder. Either way, it was some kind of ham in between toasted bread and I wish I could have one every day.
I also scored some chips that I'd never seen before and loved them. Again, I don't remember the name brand because I'm really terrible at this whole "writing reviews" thing, but keep an eye out for an interesting chip selection.
Lastly, I ordered the Georgie Peach smoothie (I remembered the name!) which was delicious but probably just a pinch sweeter than I would have preferred. I like things that are sweet but this was *really* sweet. Still, I could tell it was made with love.
To top it all off, the employees working here were super nice and friendly - not the norm at airport eateries! This was definitely a very memorable experience for a fast-casual airport spot!
