NORTH AMERICA. HMSHost has launched its annual Airport Restaurant Month event. Over 80 restaurants across nearly 50 North American airports are participating throughout May.
Airport Restaurant Month is a travel-customised version of the popular street-side restaurant week concept.
“With this May’s Airport Restaurant Month dishes, we are elevating the airport dining experience, bringing travellers some of the latest food trends, from avocados to plant-based options, right inside the airport,” said HMSHost Vice President of Marketing and Communications Atousa Ghoreichi.
“Airport Restaurant Month is just one example of how HMSHost offers travellers unique culinary events, ultimately transforming the way travellers think about their airport meal.”
Airport Restaurant Month’s menus vary by restaurant. Select restaurants offer customised menus that spotlight their own flavours and trends, HMSHost said.
The core of Airport Restaurant Month’s May 2018 menu items include:
- Avocado Banh Mi with cucumber, carrot, cilantro, mint, and lime
- Roasted Salmon with avocado, sautéed mushroom, arugula, and a Sriracha aioli
- Pulled Pork Tacos with avocado, radish, and lime
- Grilled Chicken Breast with smoky tomato sauce, caramelised onions, and avocado
Each of the above dishes is served with a Chopped Crunch Salad and a red pepper hummus with olives and grilled pita points. HMSHost will also offer Patrón Watermelon Margaritas at each location.
HMSHost’s culinary team created the single-plated menus with a traveller’s need for speed of service in mind.
The global restaurateur’s sommeliers have matched suggested wines for each Airport Restaurant Month dish. The wine suggestions aim to balance the flavour characteristics of each dish with the flavour profile of each wine to create the “perfect pairing”.
