Not to be too sarcastic... But it strikes me that flight attendants aren't really chefs--they're preparation artists. And BTW, the following sounds great, but it describes the major components of a McDonald's value meal:
Boeuf Haché
Prime Grade American Beef with summer greens, roma tomatoes, sweet vidalia onions, and fromage américain.
Pommes Frites
Delicately flashed julienned new potatoes.

Frankly, I even miss the cheeseburger. I won't even bother lamenting the loss of the cigar humidor cart!

I still have my UA917 IAD-SEA United First dinner menus from April 2001, March 2002, and October 2002, as well as my BWI-SFO United First breakfast menu from November 2002. All three dinner menus had an appetizer course, salad course, and three entrees (four for April 2001).
The April 2001 menu is four pages, while the others are all two (front and back).

I take midcons a few times a week and I'm soooo tired of those salads and cold meats. Please bring back some hot meals on these flights.
