The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is enhancing the food and dining options at Newark Liberty International Airport’s new Terminal A with the addition of the Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Kitchen + Bar, operated by SSP America, a division of SSP Group.
“We’ve welcomed countless dignitaries through our world-class airports, but nothing compares to the arrival of the Mayor of Flavortown himself, Guy Fieri,” said Port Authority Chairman Kevin O’Toole. “We’re proud to be rollin’ out with one of the culinary world’s most respected and well-liked figures as we add to the unique offerings and experiences on tap at Terminal A.”
Conceptually, Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Kitchen + Bar is derived from a well-known Fieri reference to a place that doesn’t exist – Flavortown – which came about on Food Network’s hugely popular ‘Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives’ television show hosted by Fieri. The full-service restaurant and bar serves an all-day menu consistent with the Fieri brand.
“The addition of the Flavortown Kitchen + Bar to Terminal A underscores our effort to bring passengers exciting amenities and dining options to complement this stunning, award-winning new terminal,” said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton. “Guy’s bold and hearty offerings pair perfectly with Terminal A, as we dish up a streamlined, state-of-the-art travelling experience with a side of distinctive architecture, diverse dining, and magnificent local art.”
The restaurant’s design is inspired by Fieri’s exuberant personality combined with a local industrial vibe. The space unfolds around a large bar, surrounded by seating areas and bordered by elements reminiscent of shipping containers covered with Guy Fieri’s signature graphics. The triple-height space above the restaurant is bordered by an oversized Flavortown illuminated sign visible throughout the terminal.
“Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Kitchen and Bar is a perfect fit in the new Terminal A at Newark Liberty International Airport and complements the offerings in the terminal,” said Elisabeth Sailer, Chief Commercial Officer, Munich Airport NJ LLC (MANJ), which operates Newark Liberty’s Terminal A. “Flavortown is a bold, new restaurant that offers passengers an exciting, delicious, and entertaining dining experience developed by a culinary icon. As we continue to focus on providing passengers with a world-class travel experience, we are pleased to have partners like SSP America and Flavortown who are as committed as we are to surprise and delight passengers travelling through Terminal A.”
