By any measure, Simone Biles ranks among the greatest Houston athletes of all time. Her 11 Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals make her the most decorated gymnast of all time.

So it should come as no surprise that she’ll be the face of a new restaurant coming to George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). Called Taste of Gold, it’s expected to open near gate A8 in the first quarter of 2025.

To bring the restaurant to life, Biles has partnered with The Playmakers Group, a Dallas-based company that operates athlete-themed restaurants in airports, such as one created in partnership with Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). Dallas restaurateur Mark Brezinski — who contributed to the development of concepts such as Pei Wei, Velvet Taco, and Banh Shop, is curating the menu, according to a release.

“I am very excited to partner with The Playmakers Group and their dedicated team to help bring a new restaurant to my hometown airport,” Biles said in a statement. “I am a foodie at heart, and our hope with Taste of Gold is to offer a beautiful dining experience that features award-winning, signature menu items with some of my favorite flavors sprinkled in for our guests.”

At this time, it’s not quite clear how Biles’ “favorite flavors” will be reflected in the restaurant’s dishes. The only hint is that Taste of Gold “will celebrate Biles’s remarkable global achievements.” Perhaps since Biles is known as The G.O.A.T., the restaurant will serve cabrito.

Adding Taste of Gold should further enhance IAH’s reputation as offering compelling dining options. It placed in the top 10 for Best Airport Dining Experiences in the prestigious 2024 Skytrax World Airport Awards.

“Bush Airport is proud to offer one of the top airport culinary experiences in the world and it’s only going to get better,” said Francisco Cuellar, chief commercial development officer for Houston Airports. “We join the millions of people around the world who find inspiration in Simone Biles, an athlete who continues to raise the bar while achieving success and defying expectations. Houston Airports is on the same history-making trajectory as we redefine what it means to dine inside an airport.”
