Amtrak Signature Steak.



Cheesecake with raspberry topping.

I also had two scrambled-egg breakfasts on the trip, both of which I neglected to take photos of (too early in the morning).

All of the entrees were very good, at all meals -- probably the biggest "surprise" was the bratwurst, which made me wish I was getting more than just that one lunch on this trip. I wasn't a fan of the corn-intensive "vegetable medley" on the Southwest Chief, but only because I'm not a fan of corn served in that manner.

Desserts were nothing special -- I definitely preferred the Lake Shore Limited crew taking the cheesecake out of its container first.

Rolls and salads were, um, rolls and salads. That Newman's Own parmesan-and-garlic dressing is excellent, though.
I've never had a meal on Amtrak, so forgive the question, but what is the item next to your steak? (in a plastic baggie-like container) Thanks.
