Twistentoo

I've flown emirates a number of times (US to India), and I like the airline but hate DXB. What's the best thing to do there while waiting for a connection? And, more importantly, where's the best place to eat?

For people who haven't been. It's a modern, clean airport... but the food is sub-par even by airport standards. Oddly, there's also no middle eastern food that I could find. Maybe they think people would prefer to eat at terrible french "cafes".

Thanks in advance!
