This might be non grata here ... on my UA flight yesterday, they served a burger (actually, there was no bun; the burger was entirely contained within one piece of bread) along with a muffin.
DL, can you top that, maybe with a bread/pasta/rice platter?

I believe that is what UA calls its play on Beef Wellington, usually served as second meal up front.

DL2471 ANC-SEA
737-800
Choices (as described by the FA): The Impossible Burger made with spinach and eggplant, Roasted Chicken with Couscous, or Cold Chicken with veggies.
I opted to try the Impossible Burger since I had a "real" burger the week prior on a D1 flight. I found it to be quite good! It honestly tasted like meat to me. Generous portion of cheese and caramelized onions too. My only critiques is that I would have enjoyed more of garden with it (lettuce, tomato, etc) and the bottom bun was quite soggy (definitely a knife and fork meal). The salad was interesting with rutabagas, apples, and celery, but the flavors actually worked well together. A bit over dressed and even came with more dressing on the side that I did not use. The blueberry cheesecake was much better than a previous version I had last week. This was not soggy at all and was nicely chilled.
Excellent service from this SEA based crew. I regret I didn't hand the flight leader one of my JWD certs that I still have in my bag (if they can even accept them anymore).

That would have been nicer if it was served with a side salad of lettuce, tomato, red onion, etc.... instead of a mockish Waldorf salad. That way you have the option to put as much garden on the burger as you like.

They never stopped being able to take JWDs; however there was a period where distribution of new JWDs was suspended. Either way, in cases where I wanted to hand out a JWD but didn't (forgot, didn't have one on me, ineligible employee like a Delta Connections flight) any positive feedback I've given via the contact form on the website has always been well-received and appreciated with mention that it would be passed on to the employee's supervisor etc. so if you felt it was JWD-worthy I would definitely encourage you to write in!

They started handing out new JWD certificates in December 2021 so that program is active again.

The food in F after they restarted the program has been absolutely horrendous. Flew SEA-MSP-MIA-MSP-SEA in the last 2 weeks and the choices were inedible. Cold chicken salad. Cold oatmeal (gross, I can't even describe what it tastes like). Impossible burger. Cauliflower cakes?? All so gross I had to buy a snack pack.

My flight SLC-CDG last month was cancelled so I can't review the food/service there (although KLM business class was a great!) but here are some photos from my return AMS-SLC
PDB (filled twice)
Amuse-Bouche mozzarella-olive-tomato, champagne and sparkling water
Some kind of soup (it was good), some kind of salad (bland) and then this tray was taken away before I could eat my roll!
Pan fried halibut, tomato risotto and salsify. The fish was a touch overdone but all in all good
Strawberry-cookie sundae
Mid flight snack
Pre-landing meal - choice was hamburger or salmon salad. The salmon was good - not overcooked. The fruit was odd and I thought that was a slice of banana bread, it wasn't, and it wasn't good either.
All in all, much closer to pre-pandemic service.

Haven’t flown in nearly two years. This week flying MSY-SLC-LAS in F. First leg says “Dinner”. Anyone know what we should expect? Box or hot meal? I think the itinerary says the flight is 1436 miles, if that makes a difference.

Could be a hot meal, cold meal or shelf stable snack box. There's no consistency right now.

If a meal is listed (Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner), it won't be a snack box. There are a few routes that still seem to have the cold meal boxes (particularly on regional jet equipment), but it will likely be a hot meal if dinner is listed.

Random but I’ve seen lemon and lime wedges from a few international Delta One drinks like the most recent post about long haul service here. Does anyone know if they’re back in domestic F yet, I always loved getting a club soda with lime or lemon pre COVID.

Even regional is up in the air too, I saw a picture on Instagram on a JFK-MSP CRJ9 from yesterday with a plated cold dish that looked similar to AA’s cold charcuterie board.
