A grilled cheese station would be an easy food option. Have a selection of nice breads and cheeses. Then just have a couple of panini presses. That would go well with the soups.

But what do you eat it on / with? It reminds me of how the clubs used to have those little single serving packets of Nutella, which it was never very clear what they were meant to be used with (my opinion at that time was that they went on the Biscoff cookies, but those aren’t in the clubs any more either).

They used to have a PB machine in the E club at ATL and the Peanut butter was really good. I was surprised people with peanut allergies didn't complain

Virgin Australia had this in the Perth club when I was there about 4 years ago. At least I think it was Perth.

I had a folded over cheese omelette thing at the ATL C SkyClub that was reminiscent of my old Hampton In. Brekkie days except it was not over cooked or dry and I had some toppings for it. It was nice to have warm eggs even if they came out of a bag.
MSP G SkyClub today Had decent chicken fajita meat which I’ve never seen before. Nice but the “warm” tortilla fell apart the moment I bit the into it.
The beers, however, were warm. Not “I like my beer really cold so this feels warm” warm but more like finding your half drunk beer from the night before taking a swig and going “oh here’s the beer I was drinking last night” warm

I miss the individually wrapped Tillamook cheese they used to have at most clubs. I am sure it was expensive and the packing a waste, but they were SO good (and easy to grab a few extra to take on a flight).
Also, has anyone noticed that they have removed the mocha option from the Starbucks machine. BOS, ATL, TPA and JFK all seemed (if memory serves me correctly) no longer had this option. A girl can dump a bunch of hot cocoa mix into a cappuccino, but it's not quite the same.
Keeping on the breakfast theme, it would be SO easy to add sliced meats and cheeses to the breakfast assortment. Ham, prosciutto, salami, etc. Very common in Euro hotels (JW Marriott in MEX had the best spread evah). A little meat, a little cheese, a little fresh fruit, a little pastry. Perfect cold breakfast that keeps on a line forever.
