US. Airmall USA is to welcome Brazilian-American cuisine from chef Alexandre Alvarenga to the Dine Boston Visiting Chef Program at Boston Logan International Airport.
The programme enables renowned New England chefs to “moonlight” at the Dine Boston restaurant in Terminal E for three months and create a special menu for visitors based on their specialities.
Alvarenga, Executive Chef at Chama Grill, will turn the landside location into a Brazilian-American Steakhouse (“˜Churrascaria’) that combines southern Brazilian and Italian cuisine.
The special menu’s starters will include: a chef signature salad with Gouda cheese wrapped in filo (phyllo) pastry, served on mixed greens with berries and balsamic dressing; and Mussels Bianco (sautéed mussels with garlic and wine white sauce over toasted crostini and fresh herbs) or mussels served in Fra Diavolo Sauce (spicy tomato sauce).
Main dishes include Fusilli Ai Frutti di Mare (shrimp, scallops, calamari, mussels, salmon and a light tomato sauce) and NY Sirloin Steak, a 12oz sirloin steak served with mashed potatoes, asparagus and truffle oil. Dessert is a Brazilian Crème de Papaya, which consists of papaya, vanilla ice cream and crème de cassis.
Airmall USA Vice President Michael Caro said: “Chef Alexandre Alvarenga’s expertise in creating modern twists on southern Brazilian and Italian authentic favourites combined with a unique family-style dining experience and an extensive wine list continues to excite restaurant goers in the Boston area. Airmall and Dine Boston are pleased to offer a taste of his menu to travelling passengers through the Dine Boston Visiting Chef Program.”
