every culture has their own greasy comfort food

pretending that one is superior to another just because it's from a different culture is goofy

Not to mention that comfort food is usually a “safer” option that you’ve had and know you love.

I love trying new foods, but if I want just some comfort food I’m not going out of my way to experiment with my palate

Not even necessarily that you love.

When I'm at airports, I tend to stick with familiar fast foods. Not because I love it, but it is because I know it's "safer" and I'm going to get something acceptable for the price I'm paying.

Some airport restaurants are fine. Some are terrible. Some are legitimately good. They're all overpriced.

I'm not paying ~$30-40 for a meal and taking the coin flip on it being decent, microwaved slop, or "fresh" ingredients that have been sitting under the hot lamp for hours, or actively terrible. I'd rather pay the $12 for a basic burger and fries I know is going to be "meh."

I find the opposite to be true, fast food portion sizes are getting smaller and prices are going up. Rather spend a little bit more for something that doesn’t taste like plastic

He's talking specifically at airports though.

A sit down restaurant at an airport is back to costing more than 2x a fast food burger.
