IAH-LGA on Eagle
Flying IAH-LGA this evening, 5:20pm departure on an E175. Should I expect dinner (and if so, only cold options I’m assuming?)
Or am I better off just getting food at the airport

Tomato Omelette or Fruit Plate. Odd that both choices seemed vegetarian this morning.
Unlike my last fruit plate upthread, this one came with a croissant, which made the whole affair more robust and filling. Also got bread in a timely manner unlike my 7/2 dinner. Great breakfast overall 👌

Also, on my last two flights in transcon F, they were doing opposite of FEBO for order taking, or rather FOBE. Is FEBO still a thing?

Ex-SFO, there were olives in F for lunch flight. No soup offering, though, but can't confirm on the recent flight since the catering boarded the wrong menu (red-eye instead of lunch). Service protocol is exactly the same between lunch and dinner, variable being the purser working (as you had pointed out).

Not since 2014. No it's generally whoever's butt is closest to Miami is supposed to have their order taken first. Details in link below.

I was offered the roasted tomato omelet. Actually, it was a cheese omelet with some tomatoes mixed into the eggs. It came with one sausage and topped with some potato cubes. It was tasty, albeit to salty in my opinion. I had a choice of a cinnamon roll, biscuit or "croissant." I went with the odd shaped croissant. Someone needs to tell AA;s caterers that croissant is a crescent, that is the shape of the pastry.

DFW-MEX Lunch
Monday 7/4/22
AA2350 DFW-MEX Lunch
There was a choice between a cheese plate or a salad with chicken. I chose the salad with chicken.
The chicken was horrendous. I'm generally not a picky eater, and I grew up in poverty, but it was comically bad. It was exceptionally dry, and the edges were hard and inedible. It tasted like a piece of fried chicken that was cooked about 10 minutes too long and then left in the refrigerator, uncovered, for several days. It was bad. I also thought it was funny that all I got was half a piece of chicken. I guess I would have been upset had the chicken actually been edible. Everything else was excellent. It was nice to get nuts in a ramekin even if they were not heated. The rest of the salad was fresh and tasty. The star of the plate was the spicy hummus; it was exceptional in flavor, and it had a surprising kick of heat. I wish I had the recipe or knew where they got it from. I would have much rather had another helping of the hummus as opposed to the comically terrible chicken. The cake was acceptable, and the crackers went nicely with the spicy hummus. I had excellent service, and I'm fairly certain that the flight attendant gave me a triple when I asked for a bourbon on the rocks. The glass was filled all the way to the top. This meal starred two of American Airlines' favorite items, hummus and arugula. Sometimes I wonder if American is invested in a chickpea and arugula farm. I noticed in the Admirals club in DFW earlier in the day that there was no longer hummus, but there was whole chickpeas in the salad display.
