(Dubai, United Arab Emirates, February 13 2014) – Passengers traveling through Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport can avoid diet turbulence and fuel their bodies with the right nutrients thanks to the healthy offerings available at any DFW restaurant. The Airport has launched a marketing campaign entitled “Eat Healthy at DFW” to support the effort of DFW concessionaires in providing healthy eating options, and today many of those restaurants participated in a menu tasting event. DFW concessionaires are participating in the campaign, each offering at least one low-calorie, low-fat, low-sodium, cholesterol-free, plant-based, or high-in-fiber entree or menu item.
DFW Airport requires all food and beverage concessionaries to offer at least one healthy entrée or menu item. Examples of such options include:
• Roasted corn and lime crema tacos and black bean and roasted red pepper quesadillas from Urban Taco (C22);
• Enchiladas de avocado (vegetarian enchiladas with artichoke and avocado) from Cantina Laredo (D24);
• Veggie-packed teriyaki bowls from Blue Bamboo Xpress (D31);
• “Tofusion” whole-grain brown rice bowls from UFood Grill (B8);
• Gourmet veggie plates such as the “Southern Classic” at Cousins Bar-B-Q (B28, D28), with baked beans, corn-on-the-cob, green beans, black-eyed peas, and okra; and the award-winning “Martha’s Vegetable Plate” at Reata (D33), an expansive raft of simply grilled and roasted asparagus, zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, tomato, sweet potato, spinach, balsamic-glazed Portobello, sweet onion, ranch beans and Spanish rice.
