Delta One DTW-AMS
Australian lamb shank
Morel mushroom soup, corn salad
Lemon tart
Pretty solid meal on my DTW-AMS flight in Delta One on 8/28. It was a hard choice between the lamb and the pasta, but the lamb was excellent. Easily something I’d happily eat if served on the ground. Fell off the bone, cooked well and the vegetable gratin was delicious, as well. Desert choices were lemon tart or sundae, and I loved the tart. I skipped breakfast but the choices were the chia yogurt or ricotta omelette.

Delta One JFK-SFO
Upcoming dinner menu on D1 JFK-SFO. Has anyone had the BBQ wing platter before? This is my first time seeing it, and I'm tempted to try. Not sure how messy it will be, though perhaps the relative privacy of 1-2-1 seating mitigates this risk.

Lol the ATL caters forgot to provide cups, so we took a 20 min delay. The FA had to explain the concept of double catering to them.
Best part was I could clearly hear the caterers having a loud argument with each other from 1D.
Never change Hotlanta, never change.

I was wondering that myself. I might give one of the meals a try, but not be upset if they fail to load it, which seems to happen more and more often,

Hmm eating sauce covered wings in the air sounds incredibly messy and risky
