Enhanced FC Meal Service
2/26 DL 573 from DCA-SLC the FC meal svc included 3; count'em 3 choices of entrees including steak, and the ice cream sundae cart following. Anyone else notice this improved svc? I hope its not just one flight!

Thats good to hear. I took flights last week ATL-LAS and LAS-ATL in first and had count em 1 choice of entree each way. I thought that was odd. At least the meals were decent both ways but I mean come on cant they at least offer 2 choices ?

First class ATL-SFO on Feb. 5 had 1 and only 1 entree choice and no sundaes. Sounds like you got lucky (or I was unlucky)...

JFK-LAX in mid-Feb - 3 choices - plus sundae trolly. Flight was on a 763.
They did, however, run out of the third choice by the time they got to my seating companion. Seems they might have realized they were low, and offers 3 choices to medallions first, then other J pax - some of which were offered only 2.

I have been on DL 48 LAX-CVG three times this year and it has been a good breakfast to include bacon. But there hasn't been a choice. I thought it funny when the OBL came around with the manifest and I thought we were actually going to get a choice but rather she was just marking whether we would have breakfast or not.

The one choice was a rather foul tasting summer squash soup with a smashed hot turkey sandwich.

Believe the focus, as some have stated, is transcom--"dinner" svc, and not lunch svc. SAN-CVG lunch on 03/01, was a "barely" warmed pizza of some sort. So, don't all of you jump on the DCA-SLC dinner flight, I would like my sundae next time I fly

...that might be the missing "ingredient" here....all of my 'choice' and 'sundae' services were dinner hour flights.....

That's exactly what they served this past weekend CVG-LAX. The sandwich wasn't so bad, but the soup was a strange blend of ingredients to say the least. I was so hungry, I ate it anyway.</font>

A couple of them, including me, told them that the plain tomato soup was a whole lot better than the squash stuff.

Flew BE from LAX to ATL a couple of days ago. Choice of one entree only for dinner, which was poor. Three strips of chicken on pasta, which was dunked in cheese.
Also flew F from ATL to LAS a couple of days earlier, and had a half warm single choice breakfast. In talking with the FAs they indicated that they are embarrased to serve this so called food to BE and F passengers.
Try eating it!
