Well ... I'm reasonably confident I know them ...

Coffee/tea/juice
Eggs
A couple of fresh fruit options
A protein
Breads
Oatmeal -- Bill goes nuts if he finds a hotel with instant oatmeal
Yogurt
Pepsi products

So ... if they are serving more than one protein, salmon, a variety of meats/cheeses, potatoes, they are exceeding the brand standard.

And ... places in Asia or places where they are offering free alcohol in the evening exceed brand standards. When they cut the chef's table from lunch, they aren't cutting to brand standards.

But yes ... I'm just expecting a place to get something quick without the need to take time to go downstairs and deal with waitstaff, etc. Not that I don't appreciate some of the US lounges that exceed or the international lounges that far exceed.
