When Gibsons Restaurant Group honcho Steve Lombardo heard about the horrific incident at the Aurora Air Traffic Control center Friday morning — which totally messed-up travel plans for air travellers across America — he immediately contacted his team.
“We’ve got to feed those people,” a source tells me Lombardo said. That led the Gibsons gang to rustle up 1,000 sliders — prepared at the Gibsons Rosemont restaurant, due to its proximity to O’Hare.
Those tasty sandwiches were then rushed to the airport and handed out to as many stranded — and likely hungry — travelers, until they were gone.
