Just arrived in my hotel after a flight to YYC. Had the Tom K chicken - can highly recommend and here is a little pic 😊

Just to clarify, the cannelloni is a nice dish (and worth reporting on the pre-order thread! ^ ) but it's not the Kerridge dish, the halibut is...

Also, the radishes were still al dente- maybe they’d just been parboiled but it did work quite well. Made a change from the usual BA chicken.

Pardon my ignorance regarding this, but what exactly is the advantage of having a ‘celebrity chef’ producing menus? I am assuming that he is not cooking all of the food himself.
Whilst not wishing to denigrate the talent of this particular chef, this smacks of more of a marketing exercise rather than a genuine attempt at improving the catering.

I seem to remember Graham Kerr once writing about how challenging it was to do an airline menu. I can't remember which airline he did it for though...
