Over the last 35 years, we have made it our priority to wow travelers and airport employees with a wonderful atmosphere in which to enjoy one of life’s greatest pleasures – great food, served fresh. It’s an honor to be recognized by AXN for doing what we do best,”said Cameron James, Operations Director for LaTrelle’s.
