Thanks for the sympathy. (Feel free to come over and hold the bucket next time!)
The bigger the airport, the worse the food. I'm told that they (along with a lot of other airports) have put a lot of work into not being such a nasty unpleasant place with overpriced crappy food, so the options might have gotten better, but I doubt it's much above the level of "typical big airport food".
On the other hand, if Tamburino's Deli in Cedarhurst (516.239.1493) is still around (hmm, they're still in the phone book), they give good deli and they deliver to the airport.
If you're willing to leave the airport, there's good food, like, everywhere. Putting "JFK airport" into the Chowhound (http://www.chowhound.com) search engine comes up with a lot of options. Including Tamburino's!
And now I'll just mention the airport in Muncie, Indiana again, because they're just so amazing they're beyond amazing. Yum!
