“This Airport Restaurant Month celebrates HMSHost’s passion for culinary innovation and our James Beard sponsorship to offer travelers a unique experience,” said HMSHost Vice President of Marketing and Communications Atousa Ghoreichi. “Not only did our chef’s create menus around autumn’s trending, bold flavors, but we’re thrilled to increase traveler engagement with an opportunity to win an exclusive culinary getaway to a James Beard restaurant.”
HMSHost’s culinary team created seasonal fall inspired menus designed specifically with a traveler’s need for speed of service and overall value in mind. As with city restaurant week’s, airport travelers can select from three appetizers and a variety of entrees. There is something for every traveler appetite – from hearty dishes to lighter options.
While menus vary by restaurant, a sample of some of the core Airport Restaurant Month dishes include:
• Orecchiette Pasta featuring sautéed super-food greens, parmesan, and buttered herb breadcrumbs
• Shrimp Scampi Flatbread with garlic shrimp, grape tomatoes, mozzarella, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes
• Harissa Burger topped with arugula, pickled red onions, harissa aioli, provolone cheese, and crispy smoked bacon
• Crispy Chicken Sandwich with crunchy Asian slaw, gochujang BBQ sauce, and pickle chips
Each of the above main courses are served with a choice of an appetizer including: an Autumn Salad of mixed greens, bleu cheese, toasted walnuts, shredded carrots, and balsamic vinaigrette; Sweet Potato Fries with a sweet & spicy honey mustard dipping sauce; and Apple Tartine with toasted sourdough, hummus, shaved apples, olive oil, and sage. As a sweet treat, travelers will receive a complimentary Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt Bar to enjoy after their meal or to-go for their flight.
Perfect for the crisp fall season, travelers can also enjoy the Airport Restaurant Month cocktail – Funky Monkey featuring Monkey Shoulder Blended Scotch Whisky, fresh lemon juice, cinnamon, and pumpkin puree.
