Water is added to return it to the soup state.
Repeated as often as required.
This is not a DL-only shot. Same applies to hotel breakfast bars.

OTOH, the only place I've seen full breasts served has been JFK that I recall and those definitely contain fillers.[/QUOTE]
Reminds me of a certain person who is ever-present in the political news these days, but I have never seen a photo of her at JFK.

I was very surprised when I saw Interstate BBQ pulled pork offered at the MEM club today. Very well done!

Not sure what is wrong with postimg, I was trying to upload two photos but only links one.

Very pleased with the minestrone soup and Mac n cheese in DTW near A70 today. There was little bacon bits, not the crap hard kind, to add as well as green onion too. And the Mac n cheese didn’t taste like it was made from powder. Really filling. I’ll take this over the guacamole bar at AA any day.

LGA-C has signs up seeming like you can create a sesame noodle bar (with all the potential ingredients) but there are no noodles.....WTH?
Edited: there are noodles, the staff just can't keep up and they're served in such tiny bowls.

Some of the food really isn’t that bad. I like the Mac and cheese and some soups are good too. I’ll say this, while it could be worse, there is a very noticeable difference in the centurion lounge and Escape lounge food. Sky Club is adequate at best, while the others are actually good.

The Mac and Cheese pairs very well with the chicken pesto salad

Sesame noodles and sesame chicken at the RDU SC last weekend. It was really good and when combined with the Chicken Tortilla soup, made for a great lunch.

Yeah. While I'd never buy these new ones, I have to say it is nice how much they hold. The old ones were something I'd have around my own house though, with the heavy bottoms and modern design.

Got a long layover in HNL coming up and going to do some touristy stuff. I might be crunched for time for dinner, but do have SC access. Haven't seen any recent reports on offerings in HNL. Anyone been there recently that knows what they might be offering as far as food? In other words, do I need to make it a priority to get dinner somewhere and likely rush through it, or can I relax knowing I have a fall back plan that if I am running short of time, there might be some quick, but substantial offerings in the HNL SC?

HNL had a strong spread two weeks ago: In terms of hot food, I remember penne and chicken meatballs, spicy Thai chicken soup (yes, it still exists!), and chili. There was also a pretty extensive salad bar with the noodles and various proteins we're increasingly seeing, plus some localization (purple potatoes, sweet rolls, macadamia chocolates).
