We enjoyed the meal. The short rib and dessert were both very good, but everything was tasty. I guess there wasn't a starch, although the celery root puree kind of acted like one. I'm a big fan of celery root, but it was under-seasoned. Better with the beef sauce over it last night .

There is a Publican outlet in the AA terminal. I've never eaten there. I've heard it's good for the airport but not as good as the restaurant in the West Loop, which is what one would expect.
