From Google:

Anthony Bourdain [a master of trip reports] strictly refused to eat in-flight airline meals, famously stating that "no one has ever felt better after eating plane food". He preferred to arrive hungry and eat locally. On very long flights, he would simply order cheese and port wine, or famously bring his own takeout.
Ouch, that's embarrassing. I particularly love seeing the old menus. I might have turned up hungry sometimes because I just don't like that sort of food, but it was very different from today.
