Rising Star : San Diego International Airport

San Diego ’ s airport is currently noted as the busiest single runway airport in the world , in the largest metropolitan area not designated as an airline hub . But with the most recent Green Build expansion of Terminal 2 in 2013 , the airport is a true up-andcomer in the world of both aviation and airport dining . Along with the addition of new runways , the airport ’ s expansion included the addition of a new food court highlighting the best of San Diego food and craft beer culture , from pulled pork and ribs at Phil ’ s BBQ to spring rolls and stir fry and warming soups from Thai staple Saffron . Then of course there ’ s a Stone Brewing Co . outlet , with a full tap list and selections picked straight from Stone World Bistro and Gardens . In Terminal 1 , Craft Brews on 30th Street give travelers a taste of the city ’ s renowned North Park / South Park craft beer corridor .
