Food quality and portion sizes are somewhat below the level of true BusinessFirst, even though the menu options are very very similar.

So if you do get a BF-equipped a/c (767 or 752), you're coming fairly close to the true Int'l BF experience.

That is nice to read. I am flying EWR-LAX on Jan 2 as the last leg of a mileage run using the LAX-MCI Z fare. The plane is a 737-800 and I'd take a well-valued bump on that Sunday, but knowing there will be a nice meal is great.
