"The MSP airport has always been a special place for me," Sutherland said. "Growing up, it was the place where my mom went to work for over 40 years. As an adult, I spend a large part of my life in and out of airports, and every time I travel, I'm reminded why MSP is the best in the country."
The St. Paul native also runs other Northern Soul locations in Uptown Minneapolis and at Grand View Lodge in Nisswa.
Sutherland, co-host of "Fast Foodies" and past champion of the Food Network's "Iron Chef," was in the news last year after he suffered serious injuries to his face and shoulder after getting struck by a propeller while boating on the St. Croix River on the Fourth of July.
