Thanks!
You should get a meal if a 1:40 departure is within DL's normal meal time parameters. The SLC-AUS flights have the same issue of showing "None" for the meal at all times, but there is a normal FC meal served for a flight that distance. Cereal, yogurt and fruit for breakfast and choice of a sandwich or salad for lunch and dinner.
Don't ask the SkyClub agents, though. They are all clueless, both about that specific flight and DL's stated meal policy in general. Best to ask the GA, who should know whether the food has been put on board.

I don't think you've taken one of these flights in some time. You get the same meal service that you would on a mainline plane. One of the reasons DL switched to cold meals on flights less than 1500 miles, apart from being cheap, was that many of the DL regional jets don't have ovens.
