Edit: Oops. Just noticed it was an AE flight. Probably won't get the hot items, but others will probably know better. I have never had a meal flight on AE.

ATL-DFW should be one hot/one cold main
and if you have caught the idea the last 2 months, 1 item is literally guaranteed to be Chicken

Snack
PDB: OJ or Water
Napkin: "Chuck Norris Toilet Paper" style
Great cabin crew. Choice of the new chicken quesadilla or salmon salad. Went with the quesadilla for a taste test. As expected, it's the same type of meat used in the various salads and infamous "panini." The pic below is dedicated to Short Hair Francis for his contribution to feats of gastronomic endurance in the face of AA poultry.
Looks mostly like the old beef quesadilla
But filled with chicken

Main Cabin BOB/EXP Consolation Prize
PDB: OJ or Water
Napkin: Paper
What a mess. Plane suffered a case of "ramp rash" on a cargo door. This resulted in a two hour delay to determine whether the plane was airworthy followed by FAA paperwork. Missed the upgrade and got a non-reclining exit row seat. I did have two absolutely gorgeous ladies as rowmates whom I chatted with the entire flight. Made the experience much more tolerable. Our animated conversation on 50 Shades of Grey will not be discussed here.
Very proactive FAs did a round of PDBs for the entire coach cabin (and two water/OJ runs inflight on top of the drink service). I was approached before general drink service and offered a sandwich from the BOB cart. In the interests of keeping FTers informed, I went with the Marcus Samsuelsson Chicken and Pineapple Wrap with Cilantro and Boulder Canyon Chips. My last experience was less than positive.
Looks like a typical wrap found at a team building seminar. AA describes it as:
A flour tortilla wrap spread with a spicy cream cheese flavored with pineapple, Thai sweet chili sauce, cilantro and lime then filled with strips of chicken breast and crunchy iceberg lettuce.
Sounds flavorful and chock full of exotic Asian/Pacific goodness... pineapple, Thai sweet chili sauce, lime salt, and Sriracha sauce.
And what I actually got.... a huge letdown.
Nothing close to what was described. Not a scrap of pineapple, zero red onion, not a drop of Thai sweet chili sauce, MIA cilantro, and no Sriracha sauce. Just a soggy flour wrap, dry chicken without flavor, cream cheese, and wilted lettuce. The chips were okay. Priced at $10, I'd say it's $9 beyond what the meal is worth.

Scheduled for 7:30, left @ 8:45 due to maintenance caused by a typo in the latest FAA manual (at least that's the story we got).
PDB initially consisted of just water, but as the delay went on, the purser instructed all the FA's to do a whole drink service, which was very nice.
Once we were in the air, those of us up front rec'd an individually wrapped breakfast cookie.
One breakfast cookie. Not even the premium snack mix, just a single cookie.
When this happen??

It's unacceptable

Can't say I'm a fan of the snack mix. I tend to pick out the nuts and leave the rest. I've often wondered if there are many people who actually like it.

The label says New American Table. Turkey & Chutney Sandwich: Whole Grain bread, smoked turkey breast, apple slices, apple cranberry ginger chutney, romaine lettuce
Inside the wrapper was: Hamburger or brioche style bun, two slices cheddar cheese, smoked turkey, dijonaise PC packet. I didn't take a photo, seemed pretty lame to do so.
The only item that matches the label is the turkey. It's unacceptable. Mislabeling food is a major ding in food service. Somebody needs to crack down on Gate Gourmet...this isn't AA's doing, but they are responsible for the products they sell.
