WACO Aircraft To Open Airport Restaurant

Will Offer Aero-American-European Fusion Cuisine

WACO Aircraft Corp reports that it has recently undergone a $20 million expansion project at their headquarters in Battle Creek, MI. Included in this transformation is a restaurant which overlooks the airport and is open to the public from the road or ramp.

Opening January 4, 2021, WACO Kitchen provides claims to present a unique twist on the ‘airport restaurant’ theme. Menu offerings consist of locally sourced, organic ingredients to provide prepared by internationally trained chefs. Second-story accommodation provides panoramic views of runway 5L/23R with large observation windows into WACO Aircraft’s production and service facilities.

For several years, WACO Aircraft has used the phrase “WACO, like taco” to highlight the proper pronunciation of their name. This has inspired the signature dish at their new restaurant: the WACO Taco - consisting of three corn tortilla tacos piled high with crispy chicken, marinated Napa cabbage, homemade mango jalapeno salsa, topped with silk chili drizzle and lime zest crema.

Inspiration of WACO Kitchen stemmed from owner Dieter Morszeck and CEO Sven Lepschy. Their goal is to offer reasonably priced, nutritious meals without sacrificing quality or flavor.

“WACO Kitchen is a new platform to raise awareness of our passion for aviation and food,” Lepschy said. “Our guests have an insight to our production and service facility though the kitchen windows and the large open balcony windows.”

All protein, produce and dairy products are locally sourced and organic. Taking it one step further, WACO Kitchen operates with a zero foodwaste philosophy and even the take-out containers are compostable.
 
Six main dishes are available year-round, all of which are accompanied by a seasonal variant. WACO Kitchen will be open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday at its launch. COVID-19 regulations are being closely monitored and take-out services will be available. The restaurant will later extend its operations through afternoon happy hours, with cocktails, as well as dinner and event service. WACO also plans to host fly-in events and specials for pilots & passengers, including a free meal with a fuel fill-up.
