Since we arrived at the airport with plenty of time to spare, we decided to hit up my old-faithful, Boston Pizza. For those non-Canadian readers, this is a Canadian franchise that has almost 350 locations across the country. There’s nothing special about the food, but I’ve never been disappointed. I’m pretty easy to please!

The menu at the airport location is obviously limited compared to a regular location, but that’s fine. My favourite item is still available here: the Cactus Cut Potatoes – spicy thinly sliced fried potatoes served with our signature cactus dip, $12.89 (they cost $10.99 at non-airport locations…)

Luke decided on Thai Bites – your choice of chicken or shrimp tossed in sweet Thai chili sauce served with crunchy Asian noodles, carrots, fresh cilantro, green onions and sesame seeds, $15.39 ($12.99 at non-airport locations). He also ordered a Coors Light, $9.79.

While we were waiting for our food, I ran next door to Starbucks and picked up a Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher for myself and a Pike Place coffee for Luke. I used a gift card to pay for our drinks.

I know my plate of potatoes don’t look like much – but it’s all about that dip! From my research, it’s apparently just caesar dressing, sour cream, parmesan, chili flakes and green onions – but it’s one of my favourite things!

This hit the spot, and was enough food to get us through our red-eye flight 🙂
