03 Nov EWR-PHX 738. No PDB, and not only that but no beverage orders taken until food orders taken > 30 minutes in the air, no beverages of any kind delivered until the warm nuts were ready > 45 minutes in the air. It's the first time I've seen the entire Y cabin get beverages before anyone in the F cabin. I considered pressing the call button but my interest in seeing how long it was going to take outweighed my light thirst.

The funny thing is, after the long wait for the first round (at which point we had been physically on the plane for over 90 minutes), the next 4+ hours was great service-- the FA was constantly in the aisle with wine bottles topping up all the glasses. But it was a bizarre experience.
