Borenstein meals on airlines other than EL AL
Borenstein catering in New York is owned by EL AL. The meals they serve in Business and First class on airlines other than EL AL are not exactly wonderful, but those on EL AL (certainly in FIrst Class - as long as it lasts) are pretty good - certainly way better than the meals they serve on other airlines.
I have been told by the head of catering of a major international carrier (for privacy reasons I shall not name the airline) that they have asked Borenstein to improve their First class kosher meals but have been told that what they currently offer is all that is possible. No possibility of improvement whatsoever.
How can this be the case, given that the same company produces far better kosher meals for EL AL? Are they deliberately limiting the quality of meals to other airlines in order to encourage more people to fly with EL AL? I find that very difficult to believe though.
