Kinda looks like what I had last Sunday IAH-PHX, which I assume would be the 'new' burger.
When it was offerred as the only choice I thot "you've got to be kidding !!" I actually enjoyed it, tho mine was welded to the plate with cheese.
What I found ironically funny was that we also had salad (in place of the fruit bowl in the pic above). That, along with the lettuce/tomato/onion condiment bowl made it looks as if I had 2 salads. And the burger's "makings" bowl made a better salad than the salad itsself. I did some rearranging

This is the old BF snack burger:
The new FC burger is looking a lot like the BF snack one, and less like the greasy, soggy old FC cheeseburger.

I've done that walk before from T-3 with alphaeagle
Surprisingly close - about 20 mins... and great views of A/C on approach
Lots of airport folks there

Did the cheeseburger ever disappear?
It's been following-me around for the past three months or so. I've only encountered the chicken burrito thing once to my dozen or so cheeseburgers. I find them hit or miss regarding molten cheese, grease, etc.
Now let's talk about something serious -- why is CO now putting mushrooms IN the omelets now? The ones on the side were easy to pick around but this embedded in the egg thing brings CO's use of fungi to a new
.
If I ever meet one of the members of the Congress of Chefs I'm going to throw a mushroom at their head. Could they pick a more polarizing foodstuff to put in just about everything? I'm surprised they aren't garnishing cereal with mushrooms.

All Hail!
Had one yesterday in F IAH-LGA, and it was delicious. I was so, so happy when the FA announced they'd be serving it.
Honestly - and sadly - one of the reasons I love this airline.

It is well known (at least by me) that I have been carrying on a campaign to rid this otherwise fine airline of the accursed cheeseburger. I will say, however, that I had to eat one about three weeks ago (I was starving), and it wasn't nearly as bad as the ones that I had had previously.
Of all my BF travels, there is really only one menu item that I have refused. The last thing I want at the tail end of a 11hr flight is a warmed up cheeseburger! I have always declined it. At the same time I'm wondering.... What on earth are they thinking?
