It started as an experiment at JFK and was said to hopefully expand next to LAX and eventually other stations if all worked well. I don't believe it has expanded to DFW yet. The complimentary drinks/food are in lieu of the food vouchers that (theoretically) used to be handed out for extensive delays.
Saw this for the first time at LAX last night (well, early this morning) as I was arriving, 2 or 3 gates had tables full of sandwiches.
