AA1367: TPA-DFW 9am
Breakfast
MD-83
'First'
IMO breakfast is the best of the crAAppy options now being served. The fruit was far and away the best part of the meal. Potatoes needed to be seasoned a bit more and were quite bland (dear AA, catering some small ketchup packets or bottles would be very useful for these). Sausage slices were okay but also a bit bland and overly chewy. Then we get to the 'quiche.' I'm not sure where AA gets its definition of quiche from, but that is not what this was. This is more of a souffle or strata. Again, bland but certainly edible unlike many of the lunch/dinner options.
The biscuit was just flat out stupid. Completely tasteless, chalky, cold, attempts to spread butter on it ended with a pile of crumbs on the tray and in my lap. It literally just disintegrated in my hand.
Crew was okay, but a bit slow and lazy. Biscuits were cold, no PDB of any kind despite more than enough time, hot towels were offered, no FEBO or NSEW/TZ followed, pre-orders were acknowledged however. They were out of the 'quiche' by the time they got to my seatmate who ended up with the oatmeal. Overall certainly not the worst service being offered these days, but by no means is this kind of product good or acceptable.
