I also skipped the dessert, but that's because I was still finishing my g&t and then got busy trying to do some work

Flight/Date: AS 6; 2/6/16
Route: DCA-LAX
Equipment: 737-800 (N532AS)
Seat: 1D (Aisle)
Meal: Breakfast
As a Delta Platinum, I was upgraded the day prior to departure. When I saw the F/C seatmap on check-in, I thought it was a mistake since I never get upgraded on AS flights to and from DCA.
Being that this was an originating flight, and boarding began very early, I was expecting PDB. Even though the aisle was clear at many times during boarding, the F/A only came around with mini water bottles towards the end of boarding. I haven't been in F/C on AS in a few years, but I remember getting PDB on previous occasions. Service on the flight was okay. I had glasses with liquid in them snatched away from me a couple times while my eyes were closed. Had two glasses of champagne, but they ran out after that. The snack basket must have been brought through the cabin while I was sleeping. When I woke up, the F/A had it set-up for self-service across from the galley, so I helped myself to some Tim's Cascade BBQ Chips. I don't recall the other options.
In case it isn't clear, I selected the Asparagus Strata, Breakfast slider, and fruit and cheese plate. All were great. Breakfast is my least favorite airline meals (except for some of the Asian food offered on TransPac flights). This was certainly the best breakfast I've had on a U.S. domestic flight. I love that they allow you to a pick a few different items. The only other airlines I can think of that offer this kind of dining are Hawaiian, JetBlue (Mint), and Virgin America. So way to go AS. I'll be defecting from DL to AS in the next year or two. Hopefully I'll be able to score more upgrades when I'm on the right team.
