With the new upgrades to international catering, this may be the first time in over a decade that international catering has actually improved...looking forward to seeing some more reports of the new offerings!

I am rather disappointed that the marinated cheese antipasto has gone the way of the dodo bird. But that's just me.

Exactly. Warmed cheese puffs. Didn't realize they were even offered until the FA brought them with the scotch!

AA997 DFW-EZE F January 2013
Departure: 7:35pm
Arrival: 8:50am
Flight time: 10 hours 15 minutes
Dinner/Breakfast


Thoughts on the new service: I found the presentation and ingredients to be great. All aspects of the service had a great flow and seemed to be very well thought out. The simple water glass was nice, I didn't have to ask for it, and it was constantly refilled without asking. The new silverware has real weight to it and is proper silverware like in a fine restaurant. The new crockery all fits together and has a nice look. Now don't me me wrong, I was a big fan of the old set and didn't believe it needed to be changed. Overall it was a perfect flight and other than some hard product deficiencies, I believe the new American is doing great.


Dinner

Starters

Shrimp escabeche with Peruvian purple potato salad
or
Herb crusted beef tenderloin with fingerling potatoes, goat cheese, and tomatoes

Soup

Sweet potato red curry

Salad

Seasonal green with fresh vegetables, hearts of palm, and candied pecans

Poppy seed dressing
or
Premium extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar

Assorted gourmet breads

Entrees

Beef Fillet
Served with a Boursin cheese crust, wilted spinach, balsamic grilled tomatoes and whipped potatoes

Chicken Panang
With stir-fried Asian vegetables and basmati rice

Pan-fried Halibut
Accompanied by sundried tomatoes, oregano gremolata, lemon risotto, broccolini and tomato fennel saute

Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
Please customize your entree from the following options:
Plum tomato sauce
Mushrrom Alfredo sauce
Grilled Chicken
Cremini mushrooms, asparagus and tomatoes
Fresh grated Parmesan

Breakfast

I filled out the landing card but preferred the cereal. I really liked this option as I could select when I wanted breakfast and each item I wanted.


New amenity kit was nice but is first in a series so they should cycle through these pretty often.


Amuse bouche, wonderful and I really wanted more but did not want to over eat.


Truly great starter and the presentation was very nice.


I liked the poppy seed dressing and it was nice to have a choice other than the balsamic vinegar that was not some heavy creamy dressing.


Soup was great as usual. Why are soups so good on airplanes?!


I reluctantly ordered the steak but it was fantastic. Cooked perfectly and the cheese had good flavor. The grilled tomato was pretty good as well.


Had to have this over the cheese but I only had a few spoonfuls.


Standard breakfast and everything tasted just fine.

Overall a great flight and I probably slept about six hours which is great on a flight that you can eat two meals and watch an entire movie.

Great experience in F recently. One disappointment was the filet. I ordered it against my better judgment (but pining for beef). Consistency of an overcooked potroast - tough and dry. Confirmed the lesson to continue avoiding beef on flight menus.

I ordered the Beef in F about two weeks ago, LHR-JFK. It was cooked excellently. I of course prefer my beef a bit on the well done side, but it seemed much improved compared to my prior experiences.

Also, I was impressed with the overall service improvements. Everything seems less like they are trying to save a few pennies in the premium cabin, and rightly feels more"designed" towards being a differentiated premium product.

I think the new service looks truly impressive! It seems that there finally is some real differentation from the business class service. And when AA rolls out the new 77W, they will have really nice premium product!

AA996 EZE - DFW F January 2013 (return fight)

Here's the return flight from my previous post...
AA996 EZE DFW F January 2013
Departure: 10:25PM
Arrival: 6:25AM +1
Flight Time: 10 hours 23 minutes

Dinner/Breakfast

This flight featured a late night dinner and breakfast prior to arrival. As with my inbound flight to EZE the flight featured the new service enhancements and upgraded ingredients. However, as is usually my experience out of EZE and MVD, the ingredients and new service were about half there. Supposedly they follow the direction of MIA. They ran out of the Amuse Bouche, the new place mat was not available, the new water glass was not there, and the table place mat was large enough to cover a picnic table. I blame this squarely on the catering company out of EZE as they are notorious for going on strike and not providing the most basic of catering products. Other than the purser who Ive had before and likes to announce arrival 1.5 hours out and then collects the Bose headsets, the service itself was good and I got about six hours of sleep and had breakfast prior to arrival.



Dinner

Starters

Smoke salmon carpaccio with wasabi
or
Fresh mozzarella and prosciutto served with melon

Soup

Creamy split pea with bacon

Salad


Seasonal greens with fresh vegetables, cucumbers, and walnuts

Premium extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar

Assorted gourmet breads

Entrees

Chateaubriand
Served with fine herbs and sauce

Grilled Shrimp
Prepared with garlic and olive oil

Grilled Chicken
Seasoned with paprika

Your selected entree will be served with tomato Provencal, thyme roasted potatoes, and creamed spinach with diced red bell peppers.

Cold Plate Sampler
A selection of cold cuts and fine cheeses

Desert

Specialty Sundae
Brittle sundae with Vanilla ice cream, cashew brittle, and banana caramel topping

Traditional Ice Cream Sundae
Vanilla ice cream with your choice of hot fudge, dulce de leche, or seasonal berry toppings, whipped cream, and pecans

Gourmet Cheese Plate
An assortment of fine cheeses with garnishes

Grand Marnier Fruit Salad
With strawberry sorbet

----



The melon was sweet and paired perfectly with the ham. Tomato and cheese were pretty tasty as well.



Soup was really, really good! As always, same bread choices out of EZE and Ive found the flaky one to be the best. I wonder if this is the same bread provided to all of the airlines out of there since it never changes?



Lackluster presentation and the salad was nowhere near what AA intended but is what catering provided.



Whats wrong with this picture? The only thing good on this plate was the tomato.



Incredible desert. I actually like that they do not prepare the deserts in the aisles anymore as the service seems to move much faster.
