ATL-LAS on Tuesday in a 737-900:
Choice of "steak and potatoes or fish and rice" was the exact wording from the FA. The fish looked to be salmon and had noodles with it and not rice IMO. Ate the steak and it was actually cooked well and tender.
LAS-ATL on Thursday in a 737-900"
Otameal or quiche. Neither sounded appetizing at all and passed.

Recently flew AMS-SEA-SFO. The D1 meals were the same summer menu pics others have posted so not going to report. I will say that I liked my meals in both directions TATL (I had the chicken dish both times, BBQ SEA-AMS and ricotta AMS-SEA).
However, this one was new for me on the SEA-SFO run and wanted to post. Described as a chicken & noodle dish. I guess it is something like chicken lo mein. Not terrible but also not great as the primary flavor was just salt. It was served hot (a/c was E-170).

I had this back in January. I thought the chicken was pretty good but the rest was a bit bland. It would be nice if they provided some soy, Sriracha, and/or some kind of sauce to put on it.

Last week, 1000 mile flights, breakfast on E175 was a choice of a egg/bacon/smoked gouda crossaint or Cheerios. I had the croissant and it was pretty good. Odd numbered flight on Compass, took orders from front. Return was on 717 and the choice was either meatballs and spinach or chicken salad. Despite the odd combo of the meatballs, that's what I chose and was happy with my selection. Got two racquet ball sized meatballs on a bed of spinach covered in sauce and ricotta with a slice of bread. A bit salty but not bad. Odd numbered flight, took orders from back. The non-rev next to me asked for whatever was left^^. No SHENA, not enough medallions to fill F.

So today on ATL - LAX (767 with lie flats) my choices up front were...
Salmon salad
Salmon salad
Or salmon salad.
Kinda pissed. Stupid me grabbing 1A and getting to pick almost last. Late lunch time, too, so snacked on some cheese and grapes.
Made it clear (nicely) that airline fish is not something I'm going to eat and wasn't offered any alternatives (snack basket, choices from in back, etc).
Excuse me while I gnaw on this seat cushion. Should have stopped at Chik Fil A.

New JFK-LAX and JFK-SFO menu on Sep 1 (finally):
http://news.delta.com/ny-s-north-end...ght-delta-fall
Being brought into line with the premium TATL routes from JFK. I assume the menu linked in the article is only for the TATL flights since the TCON routes have, at least until now, had a slightly less elaborate meal service.
I am flying D1 JFK-SFO on Saturday and will report back on the new menu.

Pretty sure that just means it is not on JFK-SEA and other non-SFO/LAX routes transcontinentally, and that it is only on the same European routes that have always had the Danny Meyer menus (so not BCN, MAD, MXP, FCO, and a few others).
