Soup Lovers: Read It and Weep! - The Alaska Lounge Soup Thread (Through 2021)
I am holed up in the Maple Leaf Lounge in Calgary for a flight over to Regina and what do I see? A virtual smorgasboard of goodies. From a mini Salad Bar, to Cookies, to Coffee, to Beer, to a cooler full of Pop and two, yes TWO! Soup choices. Today it is Italian Wedding Soup and Brocoli & Cheese. Warm bread is also there for the taking.
This is a nice lounge, quite a bit little larger than both floors of the SEA Boardroom put together. They do a nice job here also. |
Hot soup while traveling that would be great...
|
SEA Board Room gives two choices: upstairs and downstairs selection are different soups. A guy ahead of me wasn't too thrilled at the idea of the tomato bisque upstairs, but when I mentioned there was chicken rice below he hotfooted it down there!

Oh Boy! Watch out for the patch of bisque on the stairs or the rice kernels stuck to the elevator buttons! :D
I did not know there was soup upstairs too. Last Saturday was the first time I've been upstairs. |
Have not been to the MLL in YYC of late but if they have the same coffee machines as YYZ then I'll take the SEA Boardroom's machine any day :) The open bar is nice and there are more beer choices. Wine is probably comparable, certainly not better. Boardroom offers a nice product for reasonable cost.

I've never encountered soup at the SEA BR. I love soup. Must have been bad timing. |
I had a 8 hour layover and sampled quite a bit - I got my $25 worth!
Yes, the coffe machine is a bit cheap. I had various versions of the same bean and a Hot Chocolate. The Chocolate was a bit thin - so I creamed it up. But the machine really didn't get the workout. The bars were getting the workout. Liquor was being consumed from the time I got there - about 1300 Hours 'till 2200 Hours to the tune of the attendants having to replace a few empty bottles of liquor! In addition, there was a fellow in there who was just enamoured with the HDTV on the wall, he proceeded to watch Wrestling Mania at about 110dB! I was in the business center and it was loud in there. Within 30 seconds there was a horde who was looking for this guy and the remote! :mad: If I could have one wish - I'd transplant the Maple Leaf's 'Business Centre' to the Boardroom! This was really worth it - aside from a moment of Wrestle Mania, I got a ton of work done in a very nice environment - no cell phone yellers, no sofa crashers, and no split logs to use as tables! |

PDX doesn't seem to offer soup. :( :( The quality is very good. One particularly hungry afternoon I had three cups! (2 tomato bisque and 1 chicken rice) |

Some Board Rooms don't offer soup during lunch time? (I was under the impression that all of them did.) If so, I assume it's no soup at LAX, since it's so small. Anyone know? Thanks.

I'm enjoying the black bean w/ chorizo right now in SEA :)

The chicken with rice was very good but the minestrone was even better on Thursday. :p
