Renowned chef Wolfgang Puck will soon be launching a restaurant at Piarco International Airport. The Wolfgang Puck Bistro and Bar will be located on the upper floor of the duty free area at the airport and will be a contemporary casual restaurant with the guiding principle of "Simple is Delicious."The menu will provide quick bites or leisurely meal options, with opportunities for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Chef Puck will use only the finest ingredients to prepare food fresh-to-order. The beverage programme will features a full bar including non-alcoholic beverages.
Chef Puck is an Austrian-born chef who began his rise to stardom in 1981, when he authored his first cookbook and a year later opened his award-winning restaurant Spago in Beverly Hills. He has received several awards during his auspicious career, including an induction into the Culinary Hall of Fame in 2013. He has more than 80 branded operations throughout the US.
The Airports Authority of T&T (AATT) said it was fortunate that Delaware North Corporation (DNC) and Superior Hospitality were able to persuade Chef Puck to bring his brand to T&T. DNC is one of the largest master concessionaires in the aviation industry. In addition to the Wolfgang Puck Bistro, DNC will be bringing two additional businesses to the Piarco International Airport � The Piarco Gourmet and Trinidad Chic.
Piarco Gourmet is a specialty food shop focused on locally made and/or grown T&T specialty products and related merchandise: rum cakes, chocolates, hot sauces and spices, coffees and teas, and related branded merchandise.
Trinidad Chic will sell locally made fashion, accessories, and jewelry and beauty products. Local artisans are contributing to the stores. The company has prided itself on identifying and introducing local talent to the world's stage at the Piarco International Airport. They are supporting the small businesses in the country by providing a world stage for them to display and sell their merchandise.The AATT said introduction of these ventures is the continuation of the its continued work in making itself "the premier provider of aviation driven business in the region."
