I was in PHX and SFO last week, they had a taco bar, but didn't have the standard cheese offering which is what I wanted.

I was in the DFW - A AC yesterday during the airing of the Kavanaugh hearing. AC staff were walking around with trays of (free) vodka/lemonade and vodka/green tea in small glasses. Also passed hors d'oeuvres (caprese-on-a-stick).

SFO on 10/7 had a trial run of crepes for breakfast. On the warmer were small crepes with selections on the side to build your crepe. Ham, cream cheese with chives, berries, "whipped cream". spinach, hard boiled egg, chocolate chips. They still had breads/bagels but I did not notice oatmeal but I think it was there. Sorry no pictures as every time I tried to take one the staff was refilling the bar or people were building theirs resulting in back end shots.

Had the Pasta bar at IAH on Tuesday 10/9 and the Nacho bar at SFO on Wednesday 10/10. The pasta bar is 10x better IMO. That melted cheese at the nacho bar has little to no flavor. Completed the survey to let them know for what its worth.
