These days it is just not "normal". Planograms drive much of this in virtually every other type of venue. When you walk into a Starbucks the display in the pastry cabinet has been carefully planed down to the angle of each donut that looks to be in a random pile. The same for how chain restaurants plate their meals, how Tim Hortons assembles as a sandwich and so on.
The differences are just amplified with the pizza. One location chef experience thing going on while another layers the slides in a pile.

I was not questioning that. Each MLL executes things differently. That has always been the case.

Managed to grab margherita pizza YYZ TB today just a bit after 1. It was adequate. Far better than pickles but clearly commissary food. Adequate and I would have it again. No detectable allergens*. ^^^^^

Had the YYC MLL mac and cheese tonight. Infinitely better than YUL. Not good, just pedestrian, but it was edible. Heavy on cream and lacking in cheese, but edible. Not as flavourful as KD, but less artificial.
Thank you! I don't like people letting AC off the hook. If they told Compass (or whoever runs the lounges) to spend $20/pax on food and stock Johnnie Walker Blue, and paid for it, they would.

Amex booth at YYZ Dom MLL tonight featured Cardhu 12 and Talisker 10. I lingered around the booth for awhile and so did a few others.

If AC would just run the lounges themselves they could put their savings into providing better customer service or products.
After all, they have decided to run the FF program for themselves.

Anyone know why Singleton 12 is replacing the Glenlivet 12 in the domestic MLLs?
JW Black still exists.

Monday morning tried out the new YYZ DOM coffee machines for the first time. The attendant seeing the look on my face upon taking the first sip commented:“You too? About 1/2 the people find it too strong."
Easy work around…
-Cup of black coffee
-Cup of hot water
-Empty cup
-Demitasse cup
As the small cup fits nicely into the regular size use it to move 1/2 of the coffee to the empty cup. Top off with hot water. Sugar and cream to taste.
