And they sound good too...then again translating that into reality are two completely different things. I'm looking forward to the new breakfast options and pasta dishes.
jammanxc has a sample menu on his blog shared on his post in the A321T thread. Here is the sample menu:

Rumor is American will begin to roll out enhanced trans-con service in January. The enhancements include the merger of lunch and dinner menus (lunch flights will feature dinner meals), three meal choices in both cabins (this is already showing on aa.com for flights in January with meal pre-selection), and light (cold) breakfast before arrival on redeye flights (in addition to light dinner after departure).

Nice! I just hope this step-up in transcon service, if true, will not come at the expense of cutting back on midcon meals.

Also, I believe that F will get an amenity kit, at least once the 32Bs go into service.
It is welcome news, and not surprising, given B6's upcoming Mint service. There is going to be some VERY tough competition on these high-yielding routes. The B6 premium product looks very attractive and is being introduced for $499-599 o/w. Yikes!

ATL-LGA
12/20/2013
CRJ-700
6:15am-8:10am (breakfast)
Not shown, a yogurt.
FAs were probably the worst I've had in F, talked loudly during the early morning flight, including with a non-rev buddy who occupied 1A. No PDB offer but enough time to gossip about 'The Voice'

I'm really struggling trying to decide what to pre-order for an upcoming IAD-LAX lunch flight:
Turkey Sandwich
Sliced oven-roasted turkey breast with stuffing, cranberry, Brie and a garlic herb spread served on wheat berry bread, offered with pumpkin bisque and crudités
Chilled Mediterranean Prawns
Offered with aïoli tarragon sauce and panzanella salad
Any experience with either?

Today on AA 1281 DFW-BOS
No PDB
Choice of
Beef Fillet Accompanied by jalapeño Jack polenta and green beans
or
Buffalo Chicken Salad-Fresh greens with Buffalo chicken, blue cheese, carrots, celery, cucumbers and ranch dressing
Bread was at FA's discretion (I got the pretzel stick).
Choice of Mac Nut of Chocolate Chip Cookies
No mints
I had the beef-a bit bland, but very tender especially considering the circumstances.

Flew 1361 BNA-LAX (4hr 39min scheduled) 704am CT -940am PT Fri Dec 20.
PDB Juice or Water
Breakfast
Cereal (cornflakes) with raisins
Choice of biscuit or bagel - I chose bagel it was hard as a rock.
Small dish of fresh melon
No choice or hot option available.
Seem like the food options are rapidly becoming very unpredictable and not in a good way.
On the trip out via Dallas there were hot options available on the shorter LAX-DFW leg.

I'm thinking this was a one-off catering error, or the FA ran out of the hot option by the time they got to your seat.
