DL BE Meal Service to South America
Quick question - is it the same as TATL or is it different? My wife finds the TATL BE unsatisfying and would at ATL bring take out from One Flew South. Admittedly I as well find it boring - miss the old NW and OA adventure - so may bring food into BE service time as well unless there is something unique for South America. Any guidance is much appreciated.

They had my fave on ATL-EZE last week: the braised short ribs (beef). yummy. And the Californian/French red wine choices.
Similar style, though, and same service as TATL. I had a pretty good crew and everything was very good.

ATL-EZE-ATL seemed indistinguishable from TATL BE on DL IME. However, it's the old (nonreconfigured) 767-300. I also noticed fewer than expected elites; on the return flight in September, the purser told me I was the only DM on board, which seems incredible.

I flew ATL-EZE in BE back in Sept. and found it mind boggling (although in retrospect I probably shouldn't have been surprised) that there wasn't a single wine selection from South America. AA really does a good job customizing the food/bev options in this market...and that could be a reason locals prefer others to DL. Plus the hard product and the lounges are nothing to brag about.

MSP, it has been swapped for the A332 (not that much better in J, IMO).

Really? Must have changed the selection - when I went down a couple years ago, I was introduced to some very nice Argentine wines, and even as a none regular wine drinker, I would have loved to have brought some back.

I wish they would bring back the Rioja Reserva. I loved that red.
