About this location
On Level 2 near Gate M15, this stop sits at the far end of Terminal 5's food cluster from Big Bowl, Burger King, Chick-Fil-A and Dunkin' Donuts, which are grouped closer to the concourse's middle. It's the only Protein Bar & Kitchen at O'Hare, with no sibling location in any other terminal to compare it against. For someone gated at the higher M15-and-up range in the international terminal, it's a shorter walk than backtracking to the mid-concourse cluster where the rest of Concourse M's options sit.
