Sitting in LGA D club right now with the usual spread laid out, but also SC staff is walking around hand-passing hors d'ouvres (probably spelled that wrong).
Got some sort of turkey/cranberry thing and then an actual lobster claw chunk on a crispy thing. Looked like there were a couple other options, and she said there was "a bunch more in the back, so please eat up!"
The food itself was quite good, actually!

I was very happy with the spread at JFK T2 earlier this week, the chicken chili with beans soup was excellent and they had dinner rolls, salad, chicken salad, vegetables, hummus, two kinds of cookies and a bunch of other snacks. It ended up making for a filling lunch.

There were mini croissants at ATL earlier this week. They were actually surprisingly tasty, better than the ones lower chain hotels often have in their breakfasts.

Was in the JFK Sky Club today. They had hot food -- chicken fajitas, spanish rice and pinto beans, grilled onions and peppers, and round tortilla chips. Also had jalapeños, cilantro, pickled onions, pico de gallo, and a nice mild corn salsa.
Nice spread - made a solid lunch. All of the other "stuff" was there as well. Two soups, the chicken cranberry salad, couscous, etc.

JFK T2 yesterday afternoon just had the soups. T4 had fajita bar, two soups, plus the pay menu. Skydeck was open and not too chilly so I had a few cocktails and some butternut squash soup while doing reports. I still like the ATL one better. Great sunsets, plus now they've had cheap pasta lately.
Breakfasts (at least at ATL E/F) have had chocolate and regular croissants, muffins, etc. plus biscuits and (turkey) gravy or other hot dishes.
SEA, on the other hand, took 10 minutes of standing at the bar for someone to even come out of the back. There were maybe 10 people in the club at about 9-10 pm but one soup, a bunch of salads/cold apps, and some mini-cheesecake things.
I'm liking these changes, except I'd kill to get some boring crackers instead of the ancient grain crap. Now that I can get cheese slices again I need a Ritz.

I was in ATL B10 just before the change from breakfast to lunch and there was nothing like biscuits and gravy. I landed at E and would have headed that way for something like that.

Since I have a lot of morning flights I'm happy to see the overall breakfast improvements across the system.

The good news is that signs are promising a "new and larger B-Concourse Sky Club" in the middle of the Concourse, to open sometime next summer. Somewhere, maybe here on FT, I read that the new Club will have hot meals for sale like at JFK T-4.

I was at SFO last night and I was very impressed with the food offerings in the new SC. There was butternut squash soup and the Thai chicken soup, three different salads, cheese, crackers, olives, breads, and mini cheesecake bites. Even better is the fact that they have real plates and utensils. The SC also has food for purchase, I ordered the beef pho which made for a very nice meal before my redeye flight.

At ORD today they had Garrett's popcorn and Eli's cheesecake bites, was pretty cool having some famous local food, I wish other Skyclubs would have local food
