Didn't this club JUST open and it's already tired? Is it only temporary?

DFW - A Lounge
Wiki does not have any food for the Admirals Club Lounge located at A gate. We will be arriving tomorrow morning at A and connecting to D gate flight.
Based on the posts, the A club appears to be a better option in the morning, but if we are unable to get any refreshments (coffee, yogurt...), we will head directly to D and hope for the best.

A new soup for me this week as I tried the chicken meatball at CLT. It's a chicken noodle type soup with meatballs that's actually really tasty.

I'm hearing about all these new soups and I'm pretty excited as I'm a soup guy lol
I haven't been in a club in over two weeks and last time I checked it was the Italian Meatball and Tomato bisque with portobello mushrooms. Both are delicious but needed to be rotated out.
One complaint I do have is the crackers they put next to the soup aren't really soup crackers and at all (Carr's) and are more suitable for cheese. They really need to put saltines or those little fish crackers you get with chowder sometimes. 1st world problem I know.

Contrary to what the AAngels in the club report, all subsequent announcements have also called it temporary. Too bad, too. H/K is shaping up to be a nice reno, but a reduction in seating with the new style furniture. Not to mention that it's nice to have one close to what today are eight distant AA gates, and what will expand once the new concourse is built.
