The following website seems to allow you to preview the menu options ahead of time: http://cloud.o.delta.com/fltInfo
The Delta App lets you pre-select meals 7 days prior to departure. You may or may not receive an email around the same time (it's inconsistent whether you even receive an email). On the "MY TRIPS" tab, any eligible trip in the list will have a SELECT YOUR ENTREE button; this also appears if you tap on a trip and are viewing the individual trip details. The app is able to handle selections for multiple passengers traveling on the same record (i.e. you will be able to make selections on behalf of traveling companions)
Sample screenshot:
PRE-COVID: If you don't get the email, or only one of multiple passengers receives the email*, you can ask a phone or Twitter/FB agent for the choices, and they can make your selection up until T-24h (not all agents are sharp about this, so you may need to explain that you want to pre-order a regular meal, *not* one of the special vegetarian/Kosher meals etc. HUCA as needed) Nowadays it is unclear if agents can even still do this (or if just the average phone/chat agent does not know how to do so anymore)
*If this happens, double check that you have an email address (for each passenger) in the reservation. (But this can happen at random anyway even if you do have an email address listed.)

This is the exact thing I was asking about a few posts up. It seems like even if the other users have their skymiles account and email address or even just their email address as a non skymiles account member only the main person on the PNR receives the email for their pre-order only... SMH...

Recently I had a 14 + hour rolling delay out of LAS. Over the course of the delay I was protected on 5 different connecting flights (5th being the charm to actually get where I was going). Somewhere in all the messing with my reservation an agent ended up deleting my return. The only reason I realized something might be amiss was the fact that I had not received the pre-order email (which until the deleted return flight I'd never missed an email). So, another reason to like the pre-orders.

including, you asked this in July:There are one or two negative reports as outliers but the consensus is overwhelmingly positive.

Of those choices I'd definitely go with the crab cakes personally, unless in a mood for pasta.

Now I have to decide which cheap white wine to go with the crab cakes. Would be nice with a Pinot Noir (goes with seafood). My research says that is not likely.
