Depart 3:10 PM arrive 5:25 PM
PDB to start.
No hot towels (the horror).
Warm nuts, though these didn't seem as well-seasoned as usual. Also did not seem to have pistachios in it. Did they do away with those?
Was told this was a dinner service, and was a bit surprised since I figured a 3:10 PM departure (with food being served at ~4 PM origin time) would not be considered a "traditional meal time". But no complaints here.
Choices were a buffalo chicken salad or a grilled chicken breast with mashed potatoes and corn. I figured they would run out of the latter option, but a disconcerting number of people declined dinner ("ARE YOU CRAZY??!!"), so even though I was in 6A and this was an even-numbered flight, I got my choice. It came with the obligatory side salad with creamy black pepper dressing. The chicken was accompanied by a ramekin of some sort of odd tomato sauce; somewhere between picante sauce and marinara. Really didn't taste like much of anything. Entree as a whole was good though.
Bread choices were pretzel breadstick (my choice), cheese bread (declined due to underwhelming past experience) and something else - whole grain I think? I made the right choice, as the pretzel rod was delicious.
Dessert was baked on board cookies; chocolate chip or white chocolate macadamia nut (I chose the former). Good cookies, but I prefer the cheesecake. I cannot believe the mean things that people have said about the cheesecake in this thread!
