Based on my experiences with UA, for example, the FAs will go by status when it comes to ordering meals. I'm curious as to whether I will receive the same treatment from both the FAs and Concierge. For what it's worth, I'm GE with NW.
Because this will probably be one of the few times I'll ever get to travel in a premium cabin--most times, I redeem miles for my mom (and dad) and not myself--I want to make sure I take advantage of every benefit

Thanks, FT!
Meal service is done by row on CO, not status. I have never heard of anyone being treated differently on CO because of status or an upgrade.
Personally, I have never purchased a domestic FC ticket and thus have only flown domestic FC as an upgrade; I never noticed a difference between myself and any other passengers.
In BF, I have never been able to get a BF upgrade, so all of my BF flying has been as a paying passengers (albeit at very discounted fares). Again, I have never noticed any preferential treatment.
At its best CO BF service is among the best in the industry, at its worst it's still very professional.
