This May, more than 80 restaurants across nearly 50 North American airports are participating in this spring’s foodie event by global restaurateur Autogrill Group, through its subsidiary HMSHost. Airport Restaurant Month is a unique take on the popular street-side restaurant week concept, but Autogrill Group has customized it for travelers, bringing an unmatched and uncommon culinary experience into the airport.
Airport Restaurant Month’s menus vary by restaurant, with select restaurants offering distinct customized menus that spotlight their own flavors and trends. The dishes showcase the versatility of avocados and will surely satisfy any avocado aficionado. While each menu may offer different options, 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, caramelized 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. In order to help expedite the dining experience for busy travelers, a culinary team created the single-plated menus specifically with a traveler’s need for speed of service in mind.
Also, a new twist this month that plays up a seasonal fruit favorite: a refreshing Patrón Watermelon Margarita. To further enhance the dining experience, Autogrill Group’s sommeliers have skillfully matched suggested wines for each Airport Restaurant Month dish. These wine suggestions balance the flavor of each dish with the tasting characteristics of each wine, creating the perfect pairing.
