American Airlines to Debut a Flagship Lounge in Philadelphia
"A new premium airline lounge opening this summer at Philadelphia International Airport will feature a menu curated by hometown chef Randy Rucker, a Texas-born James Beard Award semi-finalist who sources seasonally from the Delaware River Valley and layers a Southern/Texas influence into his cooking. The food program is described as vegetable-forward with seafood and pronounced local flavors, and may incorporate some of the chef’s restaurant classics adapted for high-volume service. Guests can expect self-serve food, spirits, and wine stations plus a first-of-its-kind full-service bar within the carrier’s flagship network, stocked with signature cocktails, premium Champagne, and top-shelf spirits. Access will be limited to qualifying premium passengers and elite members on international itineraries." - Regan Stephens
