You don't have to settle for plane food

CHICAGO - Hate airline food? There's an app for that.
If you're flying over the Thanksgiving holiday, there's a good chance you'll be passing through O'Hare International Airport in Chicago.
Now, there's an app to help find an alternative to stuff served on the plane -- if your flight even has a meal. "B4 You Board" lets smartphone users order from four participating restaurants at O'Hare.
The food and soft drinks are delivered to the gate. The app premiered in New York at JFK International. The service is also available at Minneapolis-St. Paul International.
