That is the question that is this thread...

Yeah, I do not understand that. Anchorage can do soup Portland can do soup and I believe LAX also does soup. Not sure what the problem is in Seattle especially in the end lounge.

Did your cookie have structural integrity? Is it only me that got the "raw" end of the deal or is that how the cookie crumbles? Second act plays tomorrow. Curry chicken buritto on order. If the cookie appeareth, cloaked in parchment, I will naught conceal but rather revel in revealing the STATE it was in and wrap it up there and then.

Of course, SFO-PHX conveniently clocks in at 25 miles short of meal service.

Southwestern Corn Chowder

LAX AL 12:15 pm

Along with salads, Southwestern Corn Chowder is on offer today at the LAX Alaska Loung. Lounge was pretty quiet, approximately 12 patrons. I classify myself as a soup-aholic but didn't partake today. The bloody mary was very good, three garnishes & I ate 'olive' them.

Yum...that sounds tasty although I'm somewhat shocked that it's a self-serve soup station--or does the sign I can't read in the picture say to ask for an attendant to serve it for you?

It wasn't self-serve. The area was roped off and items were served by the staff. They were happy to get you anything and as much as you like.

I totally agree about the eggs. I asked for a small plate so I could cut them up and they told me they could not let me use one.

Yes. Eating those eggs was bizarro. I'm surprised nothing (that I know of) ended up on the floor. I was also disappointed that all of the "bready" type items were sweet.

Yum. I'm glad AS has resumed offering real food albeit individually wrapped, or served, at its lounges.

As for my mid-pandemic fave, DL is top on my marks with sadwiches/wraps, salad,, and cupnoodle, bar open. AS would take second place with soup/salad and snack offerings, UA,third with wraps/salad, and bagged snacks. AA? Laughable. Bag of junk food (rice crispy treats, skittles, cube cut cheeses with soup square crackers. peanut butter),banana and orange. bar open where permitted.

Offering a selection of snacks as self-serve. Drinks staff prepared at bar. Salads & Soup, Chicken Noodle tonight, on request, plated on real dishes with 'bendable' cutlery & brought out to you.


I love the S&P shaker.

Awwww, one of my favorite parts of VX's F class catering! I have 3 of those in a flying formation on a shelf in my kitchen. I'm kind of shocked that AS' AL @ PDX has a supply of them.
