The "standard" D1 menus on the return (to the US) have been updated starting this month. On my most recent flight from Europe to JFK last week, the main course choices were the local dish, roasted corn-fed chicken, crispy cod loin (I chose this - nice to have a fish back on the menu), and a pasta with green curry sauce (the veggie option). For the dessert trolley, the big change is the sweet treats selection has been replaced with a gingerbread and butter pudding (with vanilla ice cream on the side) - it was scrumptious! And of course the usual ice cream sundae with toppings is still available.
The menu is now seasonal (this new one is "Winter") so I would expect a more frequent rotation every few months.
The eastbound ex-JFK menus are now by the chef from Marta/Maialino (also part of the Union Square Hospitality Group) - no longer the Blue Smoke menu. The sweet treats for dessert has also been replaced with a pistachio cheese cake, in addition to the usual ice cream sundae.
