– Taste of World Bean: Coffee concept that features an array of micro-roasted coffees by Minneapolis’ Dogwood Coffee Company as well as an assortment of seasonal, whole-leaf teas selected by TeaSource owner Bill Waddington.
– Taste of Mill City Tavern: A reflection of the wealth of Midwestern farms and artisan purveyors, and inspired by Chef Lenny Russo’s commitment to fresh, local ingredients.
– Cibo Express Gourmet Markets: Markets that feature a wide assortment of freshly-prepared products and bottled beverages in addition to an assortment of local and artisan foods.
“It is remarkable to see the overnight transformation of the concourse, and exciting to know that this is the start of something special,” said Rick Blatstein, CEO of OTG Management. “Everything about this program was developed with the traveler in mind.”
OTG first announced the new program back in May 2011, working with Jan. 1st (when it was scheduled to assume control of the entire concourse’s food, beverage and retail program) as the date for the unveiling. The concepts are temporary but construction will continue over the next 12-18 months to make them permanent.
