You are describing UA Clubs, but most certainly not Delta's. Delta's facilities, by and large, are vastly superior to UA. VASTLY. Food at DL lounges is generally excellent (and it wasn't always like that). I'd say at SFO for example, the DL lounge offers at least 4x the variety of the corresponding UA lounge, and I'm not talking the 'gas station burritos' that UA puts out (shameful). DL food is hot, fresh, well presented, and easily - EASILY - meal-worthy. The cold selections are, often, vast. UAL? Snack garbage with minimal if any hot selections. Truly garbage and it's so incongruous (with the product improvement I've seen), that's why I posed the question by starting this thread.
