Restaurateur SSP America has opened The Manufactory Food Hall at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), California, in a bid to bring local flavors to international passengers.
The dining concept is a collaboration between SSP America and four award-winning San Francisco chefs — Chad Robertson and Elisabeth Prueitt of Tartine Bakery, Pim Techamuanvivit of Kin Khao and Gabriela Cámara of Cala. The 3,241ft² (301m²) Food Hall is located in SFO’s International Terminal, Boarding Area A.
The Manufactory Food Hall encourages passengers to immerse themselves in a creative center of artisanal activity where guests can choose dishes from three separate and distinctly different food stations.
The Manufactory Food Hall includes:
• Tartine Bakery, whose croissants, scones, seasonal hand pies, smørrebrød, freshly prepared salads and sandwiches mirror Robertson and Prueitt’s Tartine in the Mission district of San Francisco;
• Tacos Cala, with tortas, quesadillas, bowls, salads, and handmade tacos with pacific rockfish, sweet potato and carnitas fillings; and
• Kin Khao Thai Eatery, which features curries, noodles, soups, sandwiches and sweets.
Paul Loupakos, vice president business development, SSP America, said, “The Manufactory Food Hall promises more than a memorable experience. It brings an exceptional, elevated dining experience driven by four of the Bay Area’s hottest-trending, most prominent and successful local chefs. The Manufactory Food Hall is destination dining, defined.”
