Worked at a casino that used him for two big functions . 300 people per function . My take , not easy to work with and not a pleasant person to be around .

In the New Orleans Airport, there are restaurants by Emeril’s, Dooky Chase (Lea’s Kitchen), Susan Spicer (Mondo), and Ye Old College Inn. They all seem to present authentic samples from their flagship restaurants.
Folse Market apparently does not.

One Flew South. Atl. Expensive but good.
The toro there is great. And the bartenders are knowledgeable and good at conversation.

All MSY dining is handled by HMS Host. They simply license brands. I ordered something (can’t recall now what it was — maybe jambalaya). One of the three ladies behind the counter laughed and said “you sure you want that?” and then another chimed in “I did my best with what ingredients we had”. So apparently they do cook there and don’t have any standards to follow.

I've met him a couple of times, and have spoken with him at length in person and by e-mail. He was and has always been very pleasant to me. I liked a soup that he makes at Restaurant R'volution, and he was providing me with some tips on what I could use or substitute.
He ended up inviting me to his facility in Donaldsonville and gave me 4 packages of soup that were meant for his restaurant in NOLA.
He didn't have to do that - I didn't ask - and I would have paid, but he was insistent upon making sure I had his product and that I enjoyed it. And I did. It was and is fantastic.
Top guy in my experience.

Good!
Any bad news for that a-hole is good news to me.

You’re mad that airport gumbo is bland. Nobody is giving your opinion to John Folse. He knows it’s bland

You can expect Varasano’s Pizzeria in the Atlanta airport to be very good.

Half pound Hamburger and fries at Toddle House in Knoxville Airport after a 4 hour (should be 2) drive in a heavy snow from Barbourville, KY about 14 years back. My plane flight was not cancelled and I still had time to eat and suck down a beer. Very enjoyable meal.
Regarding ATL, I always liked the Krystal there (Maybe terminal 1).
All in all, the only thing I recommend in airports is beer. I have found it to be excellent, without exception. For example a Sam Adams in Cincinnati, hold the chili.

Funny thread. I fly a lot - got status w 2 airlines. Good food is an anomaly, even n the clubs. Supposed to tide you over till ur destination. That said, in some rare occurances - there are some good spots. (Saw MDog mentioned ATL - Chicken & Beer have a good beer list and solid food at D5)
To the OP and aforementioned comments - I’ve never mentioned a meal, or a spot, in any airport until now.
Beer & Bourbon lists? Discussed alot. Food? Never.
OP, people traveling thru MSY would lose a ton of credibility w their discussions about “dam good gumbo” in an airport. It is what it is.
Relax.

Chef Folse is a giant a-hole and does not care. He continues to cash the checks.

You ate airport gumbo and expected it to be good? Joke's on you pal.
This reminds me of flying out of MSY last month with my GF, we picked up Chick-fil-A which is about as un-frickupable of an airport option as there is and attempted to bring it into the Delta lounge. The agent at the check-in counter would not let us in with outside food, so we found a table in the terminal, ate and then came back to go sit in the lounge before our flight. The agent goes "Y'all in New Orleans, you coulda had Gumbo" Looked him dead in his face and go, "We live here, would you eat Gumbo from the airport?"

His food is damn good, I did some work for him (IT), he thinks everything is negotiable. No, this is what I charge.

Don't know him but I have met him many times at his restaurants and at White Oak Plantation where I have been to about a dozen functions.
I always thought his food was delicious. All I can say is that he must not bring his 1st stringers to MSY.
