Local Chicago eatery Publican Tavern has made its way into Chicago O’Hare International (ORD) through an agreement among HMSHost Corp., One Off Hospitality Group and the Chicago Department of Aviation.
“Chicago is a great culinary city, and we are proud to bring local concepts and award-winning food and drink options to O’Hare travelers,” says Steve Johnson, HMSHost president and CEO. “It is a privilege for HMSHost to collaborate with the Chicago Department of Aviation and One Off Hospitality Group to bring O’Hare travelers this unique dining experience that showcases one of Chicago’s favorite dining locations.”
Located in ORD’s Terminal 3, Publican Tavern serves dishes like spicy pork rinds, avocado salad, pork shoulder chop, organic baked salmon and the “Hot” Doug Sohn, made with Chicago-based Hot Dougs bratwurst, bourbon mustard, fried shallot and Emmental cheese. Breakfast offerings include waffles with honey butter and strawberry jam; hot smoked salmon with lemon ricotta, baby romaine, celery, butter pickle dressing and multigrain bread; and the Publican Breakfast of fried eggs, toast, breakfast potatoes and bacon or sausage. A kids menu and grab-and-go options are also available.
“Publican Tavern continues O’Hare International Airport’s tradition of being not only one of the world’s best airports, but a dining destination for travelers,” says Ginger Evans, commissioner of the CDA. “We are proud to offer a delicious taste of Chicago’s world-class culinary scene in a warm and inviting space and to introduce this unique Chicago restaurant to the airport, in partnership with HMSHost.”
