My anecdotal experience at LAX FLL is that the food has gotten much better, with more options at higher quality. The made to order skirt steak station during lunch today was a big hit as well.

Got to give them credit: they are TRYING to up their game from a presentation standpoint with the limited extra budget for actual better food offerings.
Makes me think of a "light" version of the Flagship Lounge food display.
Better than the status quo

First Visits
I recently took my first AA flights, after years of Delta. LAX-PHL roundtrip. As these were my first AA flights, I can't compare the old and new offerings at the Admiral's Club. I found what's on offer now to be, well, adequate. Nothing, of course, like the splashy new Sky Club at LAX, but it wasn't something out of the 9 circles of hell that some posters seem to make them out to be. The food was edible, though choices limited. I don't care much about dcor, I just need a comfortable seat in a less-hectic space than the terminal, something to eat, and preferably a view outside. Both LAX T-4 and PHL B/C had these. Certainly not blown away by the offerings, but they were fine. Perhaps damning by faint praise

They have had bags of chips and a few other things at the C club in DCA consistently from the beginning of the rollout and as recently as a few days ago. I haven't looked for them at the E club but if they were anywhere they would need to be on the side by the fire (by the sparkling water tap).

Also, after all the "non-chickpea hummus" concoctions that people have thrown around in recent years (edamame? Pea?), I am not so sure the sign is unnecessary. It would not shock me if some "enterprising" chef started making falafel out of cauliflower or mung beans or some nonsense!
