New United Club menus to be "announced" 4 March 2015
Apparently United is upgrading food offers in the UClubs starting tomorrow. But hasn't bothered to tell anyone?!? http://twitter.com/AirlineReporter/s...24218708140032
The menu card is hard to read but looks like oatmeal & hard-boiled eggs in the morning and hummus, cheese, sliced salami & soup in the afternoons. I'm a bit scared about the concept of "bagel sticks" but we'll have to see what happens there.
ETA: Confirmed that this is coming and there is an event going on in ORD right now for the tasting. Unclear on the start date for when the new offerings are happening. One mention was tomorrow; another says that more info is coming tomorrow.

If they're going local perhaps they can replace the coffee they serve at the BOS UC with Dunkins. Pretty please? Such a nice machine, such crappy espresso drinks.

Nice to see some protein and soup on the spread.
"Spicy bloody mary trail mix"....
If the guest policy stays the same, a big improvement and advantage.
Wonder if the outstations just get light snacks, and the hubs the soup/salad/meat spread.

I must have missed the day in Media Relations school where they teach how to run a "sneak peek" for a product but don't embargo the news there. People at the event are posting different details about the new offerings online but United seems disinclined to clarify anything before the official release on Wednesday. 
And adding it on hundreds of others. :-:

Breakfast looks good. Lunch is always going to be hard since it is starting to be 'real food'.
As long as their is a roll, a cold cut and some cheese, I'll assemble my own sandwich.

Looks like the fine print on the menu card calls out the hard boiled eggs and salami as "limited time offering" items. Will be interesting to see just how limited that is.

Even a small upgrade of the food is good news, and this has some promise!
I hope the eggs and salami stick around. Like others, I'm not a fan of the current carb-heavy offer. Honestly, I'd be fine with a small paid menu like the RCC's had for a while, as long as the prices and quality are competitive with other airport offerings.
I guess I'll have to get to ORD a little earlier than usual tomorrow

Anything that goes beyond sugar and cheap carbs is a good step forward.
