Visited a few times over the last couple of weeks (including yesterday)and the guac and chili are both still there. While the extra toppings would be nice, those tiny cups don't allow much room. I sometimes grab a coffee mug instead when I'm lazy.

New soups for RDU are out. Guess they didn't get the signs delivered though

This morning at the new LAX T5 lounge they had an avocado toast bar - including avocado spread, hardboiled eggs, tomatoes, white cheese, and prosciutto or smoked salmon. Hadn't seen it before - fairly tasty and made to order, set up by the bar.

That, the size, and the lack of crowd make the B club at DFW my favorite out of my normal stops.

I was at RDU last Thursday from 3 to 4:15 PM. Waiters came around with trays of smoked salmon on cucumber slices and trays of Cosmopolitan shooters. First time I've seen something like that. I'm guessing it was due to the pending RDU-LHR flight but it was a really nice touch.

Anyone else sick and tired of the same 2 soup options in CLT EVERY. SINGLE. DAY?!? Been in an out of CLT 3 times this week already and its the same cheddar poblano and butternut squash options every day at either location. I know I can buy my own lunch, but when I only have 10-15 minutes to refresh and go, it's not always an option.
I would have figured they'd have a rotation based on day of the week?

If you recall, we had Italian wedding and tomato basil for about 4 months, so we might be stuck with these choices for a while.

The new choices, not so much. They’re good, but they get old quickly.
