I was in the same lounge as OP on Thursday, about 5pm. The buffet looked pretty good but because of a very late connecting flight, I only had 5 minutes. I tried the chicken salad and was blown away. Very delicious. Much better than the stuff I get at our expensive local deli. I must admit this is a rare exception, but actually the rest of the stuff looked pretty decent as well.

I guess it's gotten to the point where when something good happens while flying, it's a worthy event!
