Upgraded at the end of a long conference under the broiling Austin sun. Because of the weird schedule from Austin to MSP, I took a flight home via DTW. The flight leader on the flight was tremendous. Easily the best I've had all year. Unfortunately, the food did not at all live up to the service.
Entree: BBQ chicken slider
Side: Cole slaw?
Dessert: Lemon sugar cookie
Drink: Cabernet

The verdict:
What a sad, sad little meal. The sliders themselves were good, but the "cole slaw" side seems more like a topping. And if it's a topping, where's the side. Also, the portions were teeny tiny. Then there's the dessert. I'm so not into the new dancing deer desserts. I miss the cookie bars that they used to have. We had full PDBs and the flight attendant kept drinks full throughout. Overall, great service — lousy food.
