| - Why 4 stars? Because this is one of the better options at CLT.

"Eatin' good" is tough to do while traveling, so I set a very low standard for meal with this pass-through: find something healthy. I chose 1897 because their mission was fresh food, and they had a few different salad options.
And then I ordered the pretzel burger because I have a problem.
My burger was solid, but I was kicking myself for passing on the french onion soup. I sat at the end of the bar, right next to the open kitchen and watched delicious french onion soup being distributed time after time after time. I will definitely be trying that out on my next visit. My parmesan fries were fine, in its place.
The only gripe I had was that during my visit, the Charlotte Hornets were playing a playoff Game 7, and the TV's were on ESPN2, which had bowling on. I asked a couple times for them to switch the TV's, but it didn't happen until about my 5 minutes before I had to leave. That may sound nit-picky, but how do you not have your local team's big playoff game on, and why does it take 15-20 minutes to change the channel?
At any rate, this will probably be my stop at future visits to the airport. Next time, I'll get the salad (and the french onion soup, of course.)
