When you read this review, please remember that it’s about an airport eatery, the sort of establishment that typically evokes images of bland food, lackadaisical service, and mile high prices. But there are a handful of airports in the United States that are beginning to wise up to the value of having a certain cache with discerning travelers. Airports like SFO are resourcing to impress travelers with not just the breadth of services offered but more significantly the depth of quality.
Cat Cora’s Kitchen is one good example of this. The menu features fresh ingredients, bright flavor profiles, and a la minute preparation. I will not pan this menu or any menu that reflects this level of effort to please, that exhibits an understanding that someone that’s about to embark on a most common human experience involving long periods of enforced inactivity should have a little cheering up before. You may be flying but the comestibles are pedestrian.
Of note, the beers on tap are different than what’s available elsewhere in SFO, and in an entirely wonderful way! At the time of this writing they featured Fieldwork Brewing Co. I can’t imagine a better way to begin a long-haul flight than fortifying or refreshing with one of their well-balanced, flavorful, and always thoughtfully put together brews! For that alone, Cat Cora’s Kitchen gets an enthusiastic swipe to the right!
