Really good spread at ATL B25 today at 1:30 PM. Two kinds of soup including the Thai Chicken and rice, pasta salad, chicken salad, a mixed vegetable dish, pimento cheese spread with bagel chips (really good to eat it off of), salad and all the nibbles including that delicious sea salt popcorn. Made for a great lunch.

There are good though.
And great with the pimento cheese.

I noticed self-serve drinks to-day in ORD; I about fell over and I was stone cold sober 
There was also some nice cold salads: a green arugula salad, potato salad and a pickled vegetable dish that looked decent. On a Friday afternoon, I certainly wouldn't mind some extra time in the SkyClub at ORD or DTW.

On Wednesday evening, the JFK T4 Sky Club had a hot buffet with chicken cacciatore, pasta, and Swedish meatballs. There was also a cold quinoa salad.
Meanwhile, the JFK T4 Wingtips lounge (Priority Pass) had no hot food at dinner time. A surprising reversal in offerings. Nice to see DL taking initiative here, though they still have some catching up to do with the VS Clubhouses.

Last weekend:
- RDU SC: Lunch was salad, a bean and vegetable salad that I didn't eat (but my girlfriend said was great), the Thai Rice soup that IS great, chicken salad, hard boiled eggs, popcorn, two kinds of cookies and crackers and hummus. All of it made for a really good lunch.
- DTW SC: Got there at 9 PM and a lot of the food was gone. They had a mac and cheese that was honestly a step up from Kraft (and not a big step either) and they had run out of a potato soup that they didn't replace. Ended up having to get McDonalds to take on the plane with me

The DTW club is bad about tearing down the food selection early. I've gone in a couple times after landing from a 9ish flight to fill my to go coffee cup up and grab something light to eat and have seen most of the food offerings gone. I've also seen the same thing at LGA clubs a couple times, I've landed an hour before the clubs are to close and have gone in to wait on a friend arriving on a later flight and the food stations are torn down and the bartender is cleaning up the bar area even though they have another 45 to 60 minutes before closing.
To be fair to their staff though they are great about staying late if there is a delayed flight with a lot of people on it. They stayed until almost 1 a.m. one time when I was on a delayed DTW/LHR flight that ended up finally having a MX delay and they stayed around to issue hotel vouchers and boarding passes for the next morning flight (they had to bring in a different plane and crew from ATL).
