Some DL SCs have self-serve bars, and they are actually not bad. I would actually consider paying for SC membership if I flew DL more and didn't have an Amex Plat. State-side UCs are rubbish (including SFO... they're just slightly better than others) but the UCs in GRU and NRT are much better and HKG UC is actually pretty good (plenty of hot food). The NRT and HKG UCs (haven't used the ones at GRU) have very decent showers as well.
