I agree it's a very uninspiring menu. I'm having it from MIA tomorrow and decided to go for the beef, which, as you point out, will be nastily overdone (and I like mine blue!) but I also agree the chicken sounds weird, I don't really fancy crab cakes which will probably be too potatoey with token crab portion and cream sauce doesn't sound nice, and bad experience of those chef dish before. I hesitated with the crab cake till the end, but better the devil you know I guess...
Please let us know what you chose and how it was after your flight.

Hey Airstairs & Johnash, interested in what got and if you'd recommend it. I've got the same menu coming up on a FRA-CLT flight next month.
Have you decided on your option? Have the same menu CLT-FRA next month as well. I usually don't go for chicken given how dry it can get, responses on the crab cakes in this thread seem mixed but leaning negative, beef usually comes out overdone and chewy, and Sarah's pastas seem to take a beating in the comments...

In case anyone is interested, FA said they serve front to back on even # flights and back to front on odd # flights.
I had this entree dish:
Created and inspired by our partnership with the James Beard Foundation and Chef Sarah Grueneberg
Artichoke ravioli served with blistered cherry tomato sauce and green olive pistachio pesto
I've had better pasta from a frozen bag at Costco. It was edible but not great. Wish I had stuck with the crab cakes.
However, the starter (latin shaved beef) was fantastic I thought. Great flavor with the edamame guacamole and cooked well.
Starter, latin shaved beef, great flavor with the edamame guacamole
Main course artichoke pasta, very meh
Hot fudge Sunday, good
Fruit and yogurt breakfast. Biscuit was bland

On one hand there’s regular Charles de Cazanove Tradition which should be swill. Then there’s the Tete de Cuvée which is more middle of the road and AA has served back in 2020 if I recall correctly. One could survive on this.
Then there’s the (vintage) Millesime, which is what appears to match the image on the menu, even though the menu also says “NV” for non-vintage (thanks AA…) If this is what AA were actually serving, it’d be the first time it serves vintage champagne in J that I can recall, and probably the best I’ve seen from them in a while… But then again the name suggests otherwise. Here’s a photo of the Millesime:

Flying ORD LHR in October and have these choices:
I’m in between salmon or beef. Does anyone have pictures of beef fillet or had it recently?
I think I saw pictures of salmon down the thread.

Recently flew DUB-ORD. The pre order menu said the steak was sous vide flat iron, so I went with that. On board menu didn't mention sous vide but I will say it was super tender, could tear it apart like a roast with your fork. Overall it was good, definitely more like a roast than a steak for flavor and texture. Mini pot pie snack before landing was pretty good too.
Prawns for starter
Sous vide flat iron steak

Just had the exact same menu as previous poster on FRA - DFW. Last minute upgrade from premium economy so couldn't pre-order, beef was all that was left. Much more like a pot roast than steak, really didn't enjoy it all that much. The mini pies before landing were good though.

Flying next week in F on AA21 LHR-DFW. I can't decide between the Tuscan Beef Stew or the Roast Chicken Dinner. Anyone have one of these dishes and can comment?
