Northwest Airlines
World Business Class
Seattle to Amsterdam
summer 1998


Flight between perhaps two of the most fascinatingly progressive cities on Earth...connecting to partner KLM at Amsterdam/Schipol...

MENU
Welcome and thank you for selecting Northwest Airlines.

Today's menu is the collaborative effort of four members of Northwest Airlines' widely recognized Consulting Chef Team.

Todd English of Olives in Boston, Waldy Malouf of The Rainbow Room in New York City, Brian Polcyn of Five Lakes Grill in Detroit, and Kevin Cullen of Goodfellow's in Minneapolis.

We trust you will find their creations fresh and flavorful. To complement this meal we offer a selection of fine wines and champagne.

Please let your Flight Attendant know if there is anything we can do to serve you better on today's flight.


Late Lunch
POSTER NOTE: ("Main Meal" on menu transcript for adaptability, but departure was like 2:05PM if I remember correctly---probabaly to reach AMS to early enough to optimize KLM's full day connection options)...Note on menu more of NW's interesting and nice "touches of Asia" on flights headed to Europe....
