Not sure if you are aware, there is now a hot food menu provided in the CCB and all the dishes are available from opening, including the chicken satay, a curry dish and a steak and cheese sandwich. There is only a small selection (4 or 5 items) but the food always arrives nice and hot. There is no longer any hot help-yourself food, that area now has lite bites, including hummus, flatbreads, olives etc.

Ah no I did not know (or did not notice if it's been there a long time) but yes, that's basically exactly mirrors my experience there except that I thought they were offering this as a one off and not that it was actually standard!! Works a lot better for me in any case, I do not like buffets and will always prefer a small selection made to order to a large selection waiting on hot plates! ^

It's been like that for at least the last 9 months!

One other thing I've noticed, the staff inside the CCB have been turning away the 'chancers'. On my last 2 or 3 visits the staff have been asking people their seat numbers if they see an unfamiliar face and sending them on their way if they do not have entitlement.

A new menu for CCR at JFK launches this evening. Overhearing the chef who has just conducted a briefing with the staff, it seems to contain a number of old dishes that have been popular in the past. Not seen it yet, but will reveal more soon.

I was in the JFK CCR room on Tuesday last week and the pork belly pictured was simply a piece of inedible fat and gristle, I had to send it back and have the Lamb instead however the croque madame starter was reasonably good

Sh*t
I love the JFK CCR, and feel for many years in the running its one of the top lounges in the world but this new menu looks really poor compared to last years. Really sad as I was so excited for an upcoming trip through. Likely just head to CW dining (which I always think is diverse and quite decent) and then CCR for drinks. Whats currently on offer for champers? Any interesting new drinks? I heard a rumor last time I was through they were thinking of serving some specialty sodas.

I am not sure I am seeing the difference between the menu this month and those from last year? Post 14 has links to menus and photos of dishes stretching back to 2015.

Champagne is Laurent Perrier NV - which it has been for a while now. Others tell me occasionally LPGS makes an appearance, although I haven't seen it myself. I think they are just trying to wind me up

Wow, whats going on in the IAD Concorde Dining room. The Nespresso machine is still broken (Last two visits I was told the same thing). They are now serving a sparkling wine Veuve de Vernay, oddly enough during a recent trip with United through IAD their Global First lounge had self-serve Laurent-Perrier Cuvee Rose and Moet & Chandon Imperial.

They are pouring pommery by default at JFK unless you ask for LP..... Bear that in mind when ordering
