I’ve had the cheeseburger, though not ex-SEA. Overall it’s a good choice. Only risk is sometimes the bun becomes hard as a rock. But other times not. I do like to take the side salad and use it as toppings for the burger.

I have had the spinach and cheese agnolotti out of SEA, though it was back when it was served with Alfredo sauce. It’s your standard grocery store pasta. Can’t speak for the tomato sauce or sweetydrop peppers.

My spouse recently had the hemplers smoked chicken salad and loved it. I tried a bite and was impressed, especially with the tomato chili dressing.

For upcoming D1 return from to JFK from LAX, seeing new option (I usually go with the Johnny & Vinny Meatballs). Now i see CACIO E PEPE LASAGNA (bechamel sauce). I love lasagna and cacio e pepe, so intrigued. Anyone try this yet?

Also looking forward to the new Wines on board.

I like the pasta with the sweety peppers -- pretty tasty. I usually like chicken salads and have tried the Hempler's out of SEA a couple of times but find the chicken super salty. The chix salad out of LAX is really good!

The Big D e-mailed me a choice for my flight on 1/10 DTW-SEA of a pulled beef sandwich or a prawn salad. I chose the latter, as the description made it sound similar to a "Louie" salad they serve in restaurants in San Francisco. We'll find out soon enough (weather permitting).

The pulled beef out of DTW is very good.

Had a turkey sandwich sad box the other day LGA-EYW. My expectations were low, and they were met. It was actually edible! As far as sad boxes go, not half bad.

The short rib out of MEX is not as good as the ones offered in the US in my opinion.

HND-SEA D1, Japanese Menu. Supposed to be served in courses but let's be honest, have not seen DL FAs follow that rule in a long time.

Kobachi
  • eggplant with grated ginger, gluten teriyaki with tofu and vinegar sauce, mizuna and enoki mushrooms, braised squid with sake wine, smoked salmon with miso, simmered shrimp with spicy konjac, chicken and cabbage in ponzu sauce

Braised Japanese Beef Short Rib
  • radish, carrots, shimeji mushroom, soy sauce, Japanese mustard, Gihey rice, Japanese pickles, miso soup
Breakfast -
Brown Rice Pudding
  • berry sauce, pumpkin seeds, coconut shavings

“Chicken stew” was very bland but better than most lunch meals, I suppose.
