This is a great food fight thread!

:))

Heehee. With the consolidated dining threads that exist on the AA and UA fora with people regularly posting complete menu descriptions and pictures of meals on tons of different flights we wouldn't need food fights here on the DL board!



Sure you do. I've had beef short ribs on domestic flights. SLC-BOS is the example that most immediately comes to memory.


Yes.


Guess long-haul BE has been dowgraded then. I'd be VERY disappointed to be served those ATL-BOG short ribs on a BE flight. Tenderloin of beef perhaps (and that was one of the choices on offer the last time I flew TATL BE) but those stringy short ribs would be an embarassment to BE.


I guess it all comes down to semantics and opinion as to wheter you want to call ATL-BOG catering "BusinessElite lite" or "Domestic First plus." To me, it's far closer to the latter. Based on my TATL experience, true BE has more courses, more choices per course, different presentation and plating, (generally) better food, etc.

I wish I had taken pictures of the breakfast on the return BOG-ATL. That breakfast wasn't even "Domestic First plus" level...

I have noticed (and here i am going to generalize based on small sample of 4 roundtrips) that the breakfasts on this route (eggs or fruit tort) are a lot weaker than the dinners.

I just flew JFK-BOG last week. The plane was a domestic 737-700, though with pillows and duvets, and the service was:

JFK-BOG
Dinner
pre-departure champagne
warm nuts
salad/bread/appetizer course (indeed, duck and cous cous)
main course (I chose a steak tenderloin w/wasabi mashed potatoes)
dessert (I chose ice cream sundae)

BOG-JFK
Breakfast
Egg omelet with bacon, toast, and some other stuff
I actually didn't get to have this because the FA didn't notice I was awake and didn't ask me what I wanted until they were out :(

FYI, the last (3rd) row of the 737-700 F cabin makes for really poor seating on a red-eye, unfortunately, as the recline is quite restricted.
