Meal: Chicken salad salad - chicken salad on a green salad with some pita triangles on the side. Tasty; would have preferred a half pita instead of triangles so I could have made a sandwich-y thing out of it.

12/31/2014 - SJC-PDX, Flight 409, 1:55 p.m. departure, F class.
Kale salad with sweet potatoes, lentils and bacon, with garlic bread. I don't usually do short-haul routes, but this has to be some of the best domestic food I've had for such a short flight.

1/6 PHX-SEA 305p departure: the banh mi sandwich is back. I didn't notice if it was white or dark meat chicken though (I didn't have it).
1/9 SEA-PHX 835p departure: cookies! They were plentiful too. Flavors this month are white chocolate macadamia nut and strawberry shortcake(!). The latter was surprisingly good.
The two ANC based crews on this trip were absolutely fantastic. ^

Date the flight was taken: Jan 9
Route flown: BLI - HNL
Class of service: F
Length of flight: 5:50
Meal served: Dinner
A brief description of the meal: Starter salad w/ feta and mango.
Choice of shrimp skewer on rice or mango braised rib.
I had the rib. It came with mashed potatoes and 2 partial chunks of carrot. lol
Dessert was a little attempt at a creme brule without the crisp sugar topping.
I meant to take a picture of the menu, but forgot! They are on brown paper boasting "Alaska Beyond" instead of the old white paper.

Dinner
Appetizer Salad
Beecher's Flagship and "shirmp" Caesar

Smoked Mozzarella and Cherry Tomato Sauce
Grilled Zucchini
Decent. I didn't eat the hardened cheese sheet that covered the pasta dish
or
Trident Wild Alaskan Cod Puttanesca
Lemon Orzo
Steamed Broccolini
Don't like fish so thankfully I was in row 2 and got a choice
Dessert
Warm Blackberry Cobler
Lots of cobbler, little berrys

AS768 SAN-BOS

Bacon and Leek Quiche

Nice sized portion, with a surprise juicy grilled tomato. Quiche Looked kind of dry but was nice and moist inside. Nice bacony taste, thankfully not too eggy. Seasoned well.

Scrambled Eggs
Chicken Apple Sausage
Everyone onboard got their first choice. Pancakes looks really good as well. Seatmate shoveled it down pretty fast.

SEA to SNA (1/9/15)
SNA to SEA (1/11/15)
2.5 hours
Snack/ Dinner Time
I just flew both to SNA and back and it was polenta and arugula both ways. Sorry to say. There was much conversation about it in the first class cabin. Was interesting to listen in. Several passed and made jokes. The options in the back sounded pretty tasty! Even a cheese and fruit platter would have been tasty. I love Alaska Air and I do hope they revisit the FC food options with the new focus of Alaska Beyond. I would think they would.

AS573 SAN-PDX 06:30 departure
Greek scramble with roasted potatoes and sausage and a bit of fresh fruit
Being that I'm not a big breakfast eater it was fine for me. The temperature could have been hotter but the flavor was alright. Service from a SAN based crew was very good.
