"ICARUS was recently voted #1 in Boston for American food and has won a host of regional accolades," said Mike Caro, vice president of development for BAA Boston. "BAA Boston and Dine Boston are pleased to introduce Chef Chris Douglass to the traveling passengers through the Dine Boston Visiting Chef Program. We are certain that his cuisine will only enhance the many dining choices at the AIRMALL(R) at Boston Logan International Airport."
Dine Boston is conveniently located pre-security in the AIRMALL(R) in Terminal E, which means airport visitors and airline passengers can both sample the delicious fare created by Chef Douglass. His imaginative and flawlessly executed New England/American cuisine has earned ICARUS a spot in the top 20 most popular Boston restaurants (as designated by the 2007 Zagat Survey). The Boston Globe has described Douglass' cuisine as "...dishes and flavors with integrity."
Douglass' menu will include items such as Polenta with Braised Exotic Mushrooms; Pan Roasted Bell & Evans Chicken Breast with Stewed Artichokes, New Potatoes and Lemon; and Sauteed Black Cod with Wellfleet Littlenecks, White Beans and Morels. For dessert, Chef Douglass will feature Cherry Crostada with Vanilla Ice Cream.
