Any flight, but I believe that if a codeshare exists CO will only book you onto the CO code.

That is, as long as you like truffles :)

I ate at Bourbon Steak(and did not eat steak, I ate the best chicken breast I've had in years!)

It was supposed to be 3 courses, but the chef kept sending out things to me, same price....I'll take it :)

I had an amazing truffle tasting menu once - yummmmmmm! Sorry you missed your upgrade though!

I didn't say it was "good" food ;)

As long as there are good memories, it's good food. :)

started by giving anyone that came in white truffle popcorn, wow so simple and delicious.

then black truffle bread, so light and fluffy, like eating a warm butter that melted in your mouth. Served with sea salt and a pepper mill.

then came dish 1 which I picked as asparagus soup, great flavors, no truffles in this one.

Main course was a perfectly seasoned and fork tender chicken breast that was on a bed of white truffle mac and cheese(hey there it is mac and cheese in fine dining again!) but it was simply the best mac and cheese I have ever had, and I am not a big mac and cheese fan by any means.

Here the brought out THREE kinds of fries and dipping sauces, these were not typical french fried, one was paprika with a chipotle dipping sauce, one was original with a light hollandaise sauce that was fresh and tangy, and thelast was 'chefs herbs' and a more classic ketchup.

For dessert, wow it was three samplings of sorbet, one coconut milk and lime, one tangerine, and one a simple cream cheese.

I LOVED the coconut/lime and cream cheese(surprisingly) and the tangerine was a good density offset to the others, as it was a lot more firm than the creaminess of the others.

Mac and cheese makes an appearance at my favorite Nashville restaurant as well.
