Enjoyed it in the television room which I had to myself for a good hour despite the main two rooms being packed to the gills... I wonder if ppl realize that the channel changer is in the room and patrons can actually turn it on...

ORD-H/K indeed does now have a make your own taco bar with flour and corn tortilla options!

all the fixings you could need are at the top of this photo



I skipped the tortilla and did a taco bowl of sorts.....the taco meat could use a little more taco seasoning and was a little dry, but a step in the right direction!

I can confirm avocado toast was available Monday morning 6/4 at ORD H/K as well. There was a long line for it in fact. I did not partake.

Back at ORD-H/K (having make your own taco bowls) and they really need bigger bowls for the salsa......it runs out so quickly and they don't refill it fast enough

Nice! I've been on a small break from flying AA, but looking forward to seeing all these improvements in the ACs and MCE.

ORD H/K Breakfast 7/11/18

H/K ORD Admirals Club this morning had a vastly different breakfast than what I have seen before. Avocado toast was available as well.

Much better than what was offered at LAX T4 this morning.

Nothing terribly interesting at ORD H/K when I passed through mid day; no avocado toast, but they did have an assemble yourself Asian style noodle soup.

Seems like ORD H/K is the tester for other AC's.

ORD-H/K's new offering of the Hunan Broth Bowls are gross......not a fan.....the vegetable stock tastes weird with something like cinnamon in it, yuck. The noodles are really hard to get into the paper bowls, but there still is one soup offering over in the back by the H concourse......today is was beef chimichurri.

I tried it last week; while I did like the Asian flavored broth, it was a mess to get the noodles, the various vegetables and the diced chicken into the bowls. They did have a conventional soup offering at the same food station (K side of the club), way to the left of the noodle bowls.
