I believe mersk862 is right...the new food offerings are simply the expanded old stuff. Good for the rest of the network, yes. I find it especially bad for JFK where other airlines offer a far more premium spread in their lounges...I would bet there is a lot more originating premium traffic there so I would hope DL would try to compete with them. The same reason DL serves meals on NYC flights to ATL, for competition purposes.
