US. Travel retail restaurateur HMSHost has introduced the next culinary offering at its rotating food truck at Los Angeles International Airport’s (LAX) Terminal 4.
LA-based Food & Bounty, led by Chef Helen Cavallo, sources fresh, quality ingredients for menu items including the Wafflino – best described as ‘a grilled cheese meets a waffle iron’ with cheese, tomato, bacon, and ham. Travellers can also find Food & Bounty’s Signature Heros such as the Brussel Sprout & Kale.
“HMSHost is thrilled to spotlight local LA favourites in our rotating food truck and we’re excited to have Chef Helen Cavallo and Food & Bounty as part of this ongoing culinary journey we share with travellers,” said HMSHost Vice President of Business Development Amy Dunne. “We thank Los Angeles World Airports, as well as Chef Cavallo for partnering with us to bring fresh, bold, on-trend dining options to LAX travellers.”
LAWA Deputy Executive Director, Commercial Development Debbie Bowers said: “At LAX, we are constantly striving to provide our guests with experiences that are uniquely LA, and our rotating local food truck programme is a very popular example of these efforts. We welcome this newest taste of Los Angeles at LAX, Food & Bounty, to Terminal 4, and we look forward to continuing to find new ways for our travellers to experience the variety of art, culture, and food that our local, diverse communities have to offer.”
Food & Bounty is the latest concept to take residence at HMSHost’s stationary food truck in the centre of the T4 food court. With its rotating food truck, HMSHost showcases a rotation of popular LA culinary offerings through a creative food truck experience tailored for the airport environment. Food & Bounty at LAX offers a selection of salads, such as the Mexican Street Corn Salad, as well as the Bounty Bowl that includes Spanish rice, vegetable hash, beet sticks, and a choice of chicken or vegetables. An all-day breakfast menu includes popular dishes such as Avocado Toast and a Burrito with a choice of fillings. Along with the fresh food options, travellers can also enjoy juices made fresh on premises, as well as coconut water and Kambucha.
“This is such an exciting time to be partnering with HMSHost and to be a part of how we impact guests through our food offerings at LAX,” said Food & Bounty Chef and Owner Helen Cavallo. “We are part of a changing food environment where fast food on-the-move now also means fresh & wholesome. If we are what we eat, then being able to have real food, real fresh is a winning solution for everyone!”
Cavallo brings her family recipes from her Colombian and Italian heritage to her Food & Bounty LA catering company and restaurant at Sunset Gower Studios in Hollywood, California. Cavallo is also the host of ‘That’s Fresh’, a short-form cooking show for families produced by Disney that focuses on one main ingredient and makes that the star of the show, empowering families to try the recipe themselves and make it a staple in their homes.
