It's on the announced highlights, before you click through to the complete menu.

Awesome. My first lounge experience on Delta will be on the morning of the 14th. I sure hope they'll have everything ready by then!

We will see. It's still not clear that all SCs have enough refrigerator space. I'm also concerned about the logistics of having enough space for a larger buffet spread.

Exactly. Mr. Hauenstein should be ashamed of himself for having Gordon's as his house gin.

And I still miss NW WorldClub's whole bananas and cinnamon-raisin muffins. Milanos would be nice too.

But any improvement is an improvement and I look forward to seeing how they execute this.

Buffet? I was expecting wait staff with silver trays.

Kind of surprised the Tillamook cheese is getting whacked since cheese and crackers is kind of a snack staple. That stuff actually is real cheese, unlike the flavored processed 'cheese food product' that were offered when the giant block of cut-your-own cheddar was pulled from the NW clubs. Yeah the parm spread is good, but sometimes a piece of cheese is a nice snack on the run.

Glad to see some soups. Hoping that they'll have a mix of light/reduced calorie greek yogurts along with the normal, since the normal yoplait greek is pretty high in calories. Huge plus on the salad.

Huh, when did NW ever have blocks of cut your own cheddar in their clubs? I don't ever recall the cheese being served like that and it would definitely seem unsanitary. I only recall the pre-packaged cheese. Perhaps they only had it at the BOS club which was shared with Virgin Atlantic and had a food spread before their flights (never visited that club, so can't say for sure).

Back in MSP at the C gates club with the self serve bar. It was available in DTW too and some other NW clubs. Delta clubs never had it... this was an old NW worldclubs thing pre-merger and shortly after with a large block of Wisconsin cheddar.

An interesting/amusing discussion on it can be found here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/delta...ese-stuff.html

Trick question. There's no such thing as drinkable gin.

More surprisingly, the nutella is going away. The limitless nutella packs were the only redeeming quality of the LAX SC.

Did you leave out a couple of smileys, or are the clubs actually less crowded?
