I sat next to celebrity chef Tyler Florence recently on AC739 SFO-YYZ. He ordered the beef and when it arrived, he took one look at it and covered it with his napkin. He then looked at my chicken in the same manner......while I was shoving a forkful into my mouth. I just looked at him and said "The mediocre wine makes it more palatable....". I then spent the remainder of the flight in a shadow of celebrity shame, ha ha.
Hilarious. Oh, to have been nearby to watch this......
P.S. Great reply "The mediocre wine makes it more palatable...."

I am 35 minutes from stepping out of my front door in Toronto to clearing security at YYZ, so my preference for an early morning flight is not to have time to go to the lounge, and get breakfast on board. And while this may sound silly to some but if they no longer serve a hot breakfast on the flight I can save my employer a few dollars and fly in a preferred seat in Y ( as I so on my afternoon returns to YOW YYZ) if there is no omelet
PS I have flown in Club Class on Air Transat and had great service and really good food.

Improved catering at YEG
Good news and bad news in the YEG MLL.
Good news: vastly improved luncheon menu, including several sorts of salads and a delightful olive/sundried-tomato/garlic tapenade. Yum!
Bad news: food encrusted spoons in the spoon bin. To preserve the evidence as 'twere, I dropped one inside the big red flower vase above the soup-pots.
Recommendation: promote the cooks. Transfer the dishwasher to YMM.
(Mods -- this probably should go in another thread, but I can't find it. Thanks.)

You can post it here with a message to Ben. You'll also see OP's report of a glass issue

I wish it would be replaced all together with something a little more appealing, and bring back the option of the cold breakfast (circa 2008) too.

But yes, I recall a few YYZ-YYC flights with awesome breakfast and lunch services, cutlery, china and all. *sigh*I never did like the colour of their interiors though.

I would miss the hot breakfast as well on that route. Back in the 727 Rapidair days they managed to serve the whole plane a hot breakfast so I'm not sure why flight duration has become an issue now (although I guess more seats and fewer crew probably factors into it - I think I just answered my own question!).

Plus, if I ate that omelet every time I flew I wouldn't be able to fit in the J seats after a couple of weeks of flying!

What is annoying is flying YUL-YYZ-somewhere else with an early morning departure out of YUL. You get breakfast, then breakfast again.... and the other stuff usually isn't interesting.
Talk about first world problems..

The great omelette debate. Who would've thought?? The fact that it is being debated is a testament to its quality

Must be the same drug that is in Tim Horton's coffee.

Is it a gourmet breakfast? No.
Is it as good as what I eat on a typical morning? Not quite.
But I like the taste. So what more can I ask for? Yeah, I'd like to see a frying pan on an open flame, where they crack the eggs, put in toppings of my choice, and serve it to me "fresh", but that seems unlikely,
