They were passing out some really good Toffee Crunch Blondies from Sweet Street (individually wrapped) a while back (via tray) in the ATL B club.
I see folks in ATL B, E and F usually doing something "special," whether it's a Bloody Mary Cart in the AM, or special wraps or other hors d'oeuvres on a tray going around, I really like those little touches. I've seen this in some other clubs, but my experience in those isn't as broad as ATL, where I've found it's basically a common thing.

I visit all the hubs a lot and IMO, right now the best domestic lounges in terms of food selection:
1. SEA
2. SFO
3. JFK T4
4. LAX T2
5. ATL F
honorable mention: MIA
it's got nothing to do with being a hub but how competitive the market is. SLC, DTW, MSP, PDX have a pretty terrible food selection.

I really like the Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese soup (really good with a couple drops of hot sauce added).
Kroger discontinued carrying the Campbell's Wicked Thai Chicken soup, I hope it was a decision by Kroger and Campbell's is still carrying it since that was one of my favorite SC soups and I haven't seen it in over a month

I asked at MKE and she said that they switched it several weeks ago. I am not sure it is one-off because DCA is pretty far from MSP/MKE but I am hoping this to be the case because I hate the Damrak, I really do hate it. Someone described it as oily and that is correct. It just doesn't have any bite or flavor. I am flying through MSP again on Friday so I won't know this week but if anyone goes to another SkyClub, LMK as I'm very interested.

Messaged Twitter and got nowhere so submitted a TTU for Sky Club questions to see. The bartender in MKE seemed to think it was permanent. I do not like that Damrak at all so I am hoping she was wrong.

Yea...Bombay is out for now. I did find a bottle of Bombay at MSP C SC 2 weeks ago, but I bet they're switching as well. I do not like the Damrak at all. Speaking to the staff in ATL, opinions are mixed...its either love or hate. I wish they'd go back, personally.

Anyone else notice the cold baby shrimp during lunch/dinner? They look far from appetizing and seriously look like an imitation version cooked up in a laboratory somewhere and injected with a pinkish dye to slightly resemble shrimp.
I would strongly prefer jumbo Gulf shrimp sautéed with garlic, herb butter and sage with a side of horseradish grits than the crap "shrimp" that is currently being offered.

Hopefully they won't switch out other liquors. I don't want to return to the days of Gordon's vodka and no comped Bailey's

I'd like to talk to someone who likes Damrak better and understand their reasoning. It is so blah.
