JFK-LAX AA181 - Nov 11

Summary: 4:45pm Departure. Some changes to the Oct menu posted upthread by ijgordon. I had the beef fillet (pictured in tom911's post above) and it was quite good. Mrs. dstan had the cheese tortellini on the same route last week and enjoyed it. I'd prefer cantaloupe slices to the puree in the appetizer, though!
