Houston native and record-setting Olympic Gold medalist Simone Biles will open a new, gold medal-themed restaurant at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). Biles, in collaboration with ACDBE concessionaire The Playmakers Group, will develop Taste of Gold, a chef-curated, full-service restaurant offering fare from Dallas restaurateur Mark Brezinski. Located near Gate A8, Taste of Gold is slated to open in early 2025 and will be operated by SSP America.
“I am very excited to partner with The Playmakers Group and their dedicated team to help bring a new restaurant to my hometown airport,” said Simone Biles. “I am a foodie at heart, and our hope with Taste of Gold is to offer a beautiful dining experience that features award-winning, signature menu items with some of my favorite flavors sprinkled in for our guests.”
“Bush Airport is proud to offer one of the top airport culinary experiences in the world and it’s only going to get better,” added Francisco Cuellar, chief commercial development officer for Houston Airports. “We join the millions of people around the world who find inspiration in Simone Biles, an athlete who continues to raise the bar while achieving success and defying expectations. Houston Airports is on the same history-making trajectory as we redefine what it means to dine inside an airport.”
