Shrimp, Salad, Polenta+Grilled Chicken, followed with ice cream/fruit and cheese plate.
Definitely above expectations for a 3.5 hour midcon flight.

Service yesterday on #23 was wonderful. The #1 Purser - Steven lead a great team in the F cabin.

michael_v thanks for sharing. I was just considering switching to the veg meal for an upcoming SFO-JFK F flight but that looks horrible. My choices are beef or two dishes with cream sauce. Ugh.
Grilled Fillet of Beef
Served with green and yellow haricots verts and garlic mashed potatoes
Shrimp Scampi
With roasted tomato garlic cream sauce, served with creamy polenta and roasted asparagus
Butternut Squash Gnocchi
With sautéed spinach, butternut squashand sage cream sauce

I've got the same options on my IAD-LAX this week and was also debating on the VGML. Might just go with the beef or pasta instead...

I just booked a P fare on the 7:25AM departure from PBI to DFW. Per aa.com it's showing as a continental breakfast which seemed weird given the distance of the flight (1,103 miles). Is this correct (RON with no catering contract issue)or a glitch?

I think you are probably right. PBI is not a big station for AA, so I wouldn't be surprised if the equipment arrives double-catered for the RON, with no local catering except perhaps wet ice. So, everything needs to be shelf stable. However, wouldn't oatmeal be an option since it is reconstituted with hot water? (like on Eagle)

DEN-LAX
AA 3512
CR7
12:20P-1:35P
June 30, 2014
Lunch
Great ORD-based crew, Theresa and Pablo. Open bar PDB. Choice of chicken salad or sliders. I was at the wrong end of FEBO so got the sliders, which were actually surprisingly good.
LAX-PIT
AA 1153
737-800
4:00P-11:45P (sked)
4:55P-12:30A (estimated)
June 30, 2014
Lunch. Seriously?
Typically lazy LAX-based crew. PDB? What's that? Recent transcon enhancements have apparently not included PIT. Nevertheless, AA catering continues to impress. Choice of Lemon Grass Salmon salad or Cornmeal Crusted Chicken with roasted sweet potatoes and corn moque choux. Although a little dry, the chicken was delicious especially with the sweet sauce (no idea, maybe rhubarb). Tomato and cucumber salad was outstanding.
And the 2,136 mile not so transcon dessert.
Beautiful scenery though and an empty seat beside me in a 10/16 cabin tonight. So no more complaining.
And one more pic. Best I could do with my iphone.

Thanks SFO777!! I chose the cornmeal chicken instead of the salmon for my upcoming MIA-JFK flight. Also, that salad looks really fresh..

I can vouch for the lemongrass salmon, the only issue is they never seem to have a pinot noir as a red option, cab sauvignon/merlot clashes too much.

Dinner
Choice of dijon crusted chicken or pipette pasta.
Tasty salad, would have been better if catering hadn't forgot the load the dressing. Hmmm, second time in six weeks.
Chicken was excellent.
White chocolate or chocolate chip cookies.

Anyone had any of these. It's for a Dinner BOS-LAX flight. I don't eat shellfish so that is out but both other options sound good. Any advice...just my fourth AA flight and so far have only really liked one of my meal's (The breakfast strata).
