Taylor Street Market

had the vegetarian pannini.  dry, needed something--maybe sauce? tasted ok. I agree with other reviewers, staff not inviting and curt.

If your objective when traveling through the Chicago airport is to locate some of the worst food available at top dollar prices, then be sure to check out Taylor Street Market.

The abomination against humanity that they called a healthy panini was $9, and was laden with a shred of something that was supposedly called turkey.  Combined with my $4 (!!) honest-ade tea, and I was really onto something here.

Perhaps it was the gelatinous turkey rind that pulled out of the center of the sandwich, or the complete and total lack of any panini grilling (you need butter kids) that accompanied the anemic bread....  I can't say what drove home the experience more fully.

God help you if you eat here.  I actually feel bad putting this one on my expense account.  Eeessh.

I ordered a fresh deli sandwich and watched in horror as the gal was cutting the ciabatta bread with the knife blade cutting in toward her hand. Obviously no one has trained her on proper knife handling procedures.  Then I noticed that the bread was very unevenly cut.  Instead of two even pieces of bread, each slice was super thin on one side and super thick on the other.  I asked for a different, more evenly sliced bread and she huffed at me while looking at me as if I had two heads.  Took her a minute to understand what I was saying.

The meat and cheese were fresh and the end result was tasty but it was still off kilter and messy as a result.

Service here is always slow and the workers are not friendly or pleasant. It totally ruins the experience of traveling on a fun airline like Southwest.
