Chef Maira Isabel now serves as TA’s Corporate Executive Chef,
and will focus on adding flavorful, healthy offerings and
integrating food trends and regional specialties into the menus of
TA’s Country Pride and Iron Skillet restaurants. Before moving to
the US, Chef Maira was a chef and on-air talent for multiple
television shows for many years and was the Puerto Rico hostess of
Bizarre Foods – Travel Channel. Her career has spanned TV, print
and online publications including the Cooking Network, Travel
Channel and Food & Beverage Magazine and she is a best-selling
cookbook author. She has spent time perfecting her culinary skills
in Italy, France, Colombia, Spain, Mexico and Morocco.
With over 150 full-service restaurants nationwide, TA continues
expanding its portfolio to serve the needs of all travelers. In
addition to proprietary brands Country Pride and Iron Skillet, TA
launched Fork & Compass in January 2023 in Perrysburg, Ohio.
Fork & Compass is designed to be an attractive option for all
travelers and a destination spot for the community, with unique
food options in a casual, comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere.
TA also added five IHOPs and two Black Bear Diners in 2022, with
plans to open more full-service restaurants this year.
TA will continue supporting the health and well-being of all
travelers through its collaboration with Cleveland Clinic. Chef
Maira’s menus will offer healthy meal options approved by Cleveland
Clinic and highlighted with a heart-healthy logo. TA plans to
expand beyond these menu offerings by working with Cleveland Clinic
to identify healthy snack and grab-and-go food options in its
travel stores.
“Chef Maira’s diverse background working in restaurants around
the world, coupled with her sincere passion and enthusiasm, will
elevate the sit-down dining experience at our travel centers,” said
Lloyd Sanford, SVP, Hospitality. “Every culinary decision will be
focused on ensuring we deliver on our mission of returning every
traveler to the road better than they came.”
