Calgary International Airport (YYC) has unveiled Wander Kitchen & Bar, a mid-century modern-themed, globally inspired comfort food restaurant helmed by Top Chef Canada alum Chef Nicole Gomes and operated by SSP America.

Wander Kitchen & Bar has been brought to life by celebrated Canadian chef and Top Chef Canada: All Stars winner Nicole Gomes.

Travelers at YYC will soon have a new reason to come hungry. Wander Kitchen + Bar is preparing to open at the C Gates, led by one of Calgary’s most recognizable culinary talents, Chef Nicole Gomes.

With its plush furniture, gold accents and tropical touches, the interior of Sunday’s Best is an Instagram-friendly paradise. The second floor is a rooftop Champagne and cocktail lounge called Sunday School, which was “thoughtfully designed to make you feel like you’re stepping into sunshine,” owner Michael McHenry said in a May news release.

Tacos Chiwas, a beloved Arizona-based, family-owned restaurant, has opened a new location at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), in Terminal 4 near Gate B5.

The opening is celebrated as a win for local culture and passenger experience, offering a taste of Phoenix’s rich culinary scene to a global audience.
