Great!
Not only do I need to carry Purell to protect myself from germs, but now I need to add some baby wipes to remove the syrup stickiness from the arm rests, seat belts, and who knows where......
I know AS wants to ensure greater stickiness with their Customers, but this is taking the concept too literally.
I am joking......please don't ban me jackal!

I tried the machine in SEA, pleasantly surprised. While the pancakes really didn't need it, I would have liked to see a variety of syrups/toppings. Aren't blueberries a big thing in Oregon? QX could fly them in fresh 
. Also glad to see that the food thread over here is positive and so much more lighter than the cheese riots in DL land.

Actually I rather do think the BR in SEA closes a bit too early. There are still a lot of flights after the BR's closing. The CO lounge is a goner and the DL lounge is really too remote to be practical.

but how many flights are leaving after the 10:30 closure of the SEA BR? I know there's a combi to ANC... and a redeye to MIA... plus maybe a late one to some QX cities, and AS to GEG...ANC has the large bank of flights leaving at real red-eye hours, especially in the summer... ANC-SEA on the half hour practically from midnight until 2AM, SFO, ORD, LAX, DEN, PDX...

And it has a capacity of 200 pancakes an hour!

For those who drink Old Fashioneds
The SEA club bartender had never made one before, but I asked her to combine whiskey, carbonated water, a dash of bitters, and a lemon piece; I added the sugar myself downstairs. She seemed pleased when I reported back that it worked well.
