Any recommendations on the options, or should I consider book-the-cook instead?
The SQ22 options are very meh so would go BTC if I were you.
As for SQ21 here's a picture of the lamb from last February — I found it really good, lots of flavour and portion was big:



And this is the beef from the second meal — the picture doesn't quite do it justice but it was surprisingly decent for airplane beef and not overcooked / still pink in the middle:


Have not had BTC ex-EWR but PY BTC ex-JFK was pretty disappointing for whatever that's worth
