In every Polaris flight I've had this year, I've eaten in the lounges and asked the FA's to hold my meal until later and I ended up eating it two hours before landing and skipping the "breakfast."
Personally, sometimes I connect to or depart on the int'l leg from airports without Polaris Lounges. Also, the TATL redeyes are the flights that really make sense for the eat-on-the-ground concept. For the longer TPACs, eating on board seems like better timing, and I fly more of those.
