The San Antonio International Airport’s (SAT) Terminal B may soon include the local Michelin-recognized and James Beard Award-nominated 2M Smokehouse.
San Antonio’s Director of Airports Jesus Saenz presented a list of recommended food and beverage options for the terminal to the San Antonio City Council on Wednesday that included the East Side barbecue joint, Bakery Lorraine, the Hill Country Tasting Room, and national fried chicken chain, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen.
Saenz said he was excited to bring 2M Smokehouse’s local presence into the airport.
“This is something extraordinary, and while we are excited for the flavors and experience, I cannot say enough about the spirit of San Antonio that Chef Esaul Ramos and his wife represent,” he said. “[It’s] amazing and an honor to have them in our airport.”
The slate of food and beverage options are part of a bid from local catering company Host True Flavors selected by city and airport leaders.
“The proposal is estimated to generate a little over $12 million over the next 10-year term,” Saenz said.
The city council will soon vote on whether to approve the concessions package.
