Lunch - AA still the best of the 3. QF improved but less variety, though the soup was excellent. AS - did not use.
As to alcoholic beverages, AA had good variety of wines and Piper Heidsek Champagne, QF had a good Chardonnay, but nothing else appealled to me (standard bold clumsy reds), AS did not try. I don't drink beer or spirits.
Just to clarify, it's not called the QF business Class Lounge (albeit operated by QF), but The Los Angeles Business Lounge, is case someone is new to TBIT lounges goes looking for it.
But yes, the AA FL is best of the crop, unless one has access to QF First Lounge.
