Wolfgang Puck - Chicago O'Hare International Airport ORD

CLOSED January 15(?), 2025

Terminal 1, Concourse B, Gate B7

Visited June 16, 2014 plus revisits

Do travelers dine here because of the Wolfgang name, because of the food quality, or because it's simply a place to park the butt for some food? Whichever it is, this place was packed with all seats taken and any empty seats immediately glommed.

Soft Shell Crab Po' Boy. A giant spider shaped fried blob perched on a bed of lettuce. The batter, mild spicy sauce, bread, and the frying process  hide the delicate flavors of the crab. The crab per se had a salty sweet taste with a springy stringy texture. Nice but less than expected
