The Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) today held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of Butcher & The Burger in O'Hare International Airport's Terminal 5.

"I'm proud to welcome another Chicago institution to our world-class concessions program in O'Hare's modernized Terminal 5," said CDA Commissioner Jamie L. Rhee. "By bringing in diverse local businesses to the airports, we are investing in Chicago's communities while offering travelers from all over the world a taste of what our city has to offer. "

Butcher & The Burger's original Lincoln Park location - part old-fashioned butcher shop and part fast-casual burger joint - has been a Chicago favorite since 2011.

"For more than a decade, our BYO burger spot at Armitage and Kenmore has been a go-to for Chicagoans craving comfort food staples," said Joseph Arnold, managing partner of Butcher & The Burger. "Now, we're thrilled to bring our signature flavors to one of the world's busiest airports, offering travelers a true taste of the Windy City. "

The airport location will serve some of its most popular items for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the menu in the newly-expanded Terminal 5. Diners can customize their prime beef, turkey or vegan lentil burgers with various fresh toppings or enjoy grilled chicken sandwiches, salads and more. The restaurant also offers hand-crafted cocktails, spirits, wine and beer.

Butcher & The Burger will be open daily from 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., located near Gate M26 in Terminal 5.
