The New Year rings in new ways for travelers to eat healthy in airports across North America. More health-forward and plant-based snacks and meals will debut starting later this year thanks to global restaurateur HMSHost.
As the vegan and vegetarian movement continues to grow in popularity, HMSHost is expanding its Eat Well. Travel Further. lifestyle dining initiative to more airports, including the addition of new menu items at its casual dining airport restaurants.
HMSHost will soon debut four unique culinary dishes on a specialty menu that aligns with the Eat Well. Travel Further. nutritional promise to guests. The new menu items, including vegan and plant-based offerings, will launch later this year at more than 20 airports across the country.
“HMSHost has the honor of serving diverse travelers, all with different eating preferences and needs. Eat Well. Travel Further. was the first-of-its-kind lifestyle dining platform in airports, and we’re continuing to transform the airport culinary scene to deliver more choices than ever before,” said HMSHost President and CEO Steve Johnson. “Whether you choose to eat healthy as a New Year’s resolution or for the long haul, we have you covered during your travels.”
HMSHost Foundation grant recipient, Black Girls Cook will curate one of the four new Eat Well. Travel Further. menu items. Black Girls Cook is a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching inner-city adolescent girls of color the true meaning of farm-to-table by operating hands on cooking classes and growing edible gardens.
The dish will be selected during a cooking competition among Black Girls Cook contestants. HMSHost and HMSHost Foundation will hold the competition in February, with the winning dish scheduled to land on airport menus later in the year.
