JFK-LAX evening. Tomatoes and burrata choice excellent, short rib delicious. But the chicken choice went uneaten - very dry.

August Westbound Breakfast
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5ef4e54de.jpeg Warm cranberry twist https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9006018a8.jpeg Clockwise from top: chicken sausage, grilled & chilled avocado, potato roesti, plum clafoutis https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7aea35e97.jpeg Chicken sausage https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c1123d729.jpeg Grilled & chilled avocado - warm scrambled eggs and pepita salsa https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...32db22e81.jpeg Potato roesti - poached egg, ham, cheddar, aji amarillo aioli, poblano feta salsa https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4d7777c3a.jpeg Plum clafoutis - poached plums, crepe fraiche, candied almonds |
Everything was delicious! The potato roesti tastes a lot better than it looks!! It has a nice little kick to it. I saved the plum clafoutis for last as a dessert. |
August Eastbound Lunch
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7dfc0f1b9.jpeg Welcome Taste: Thai basil dip with blanched vegetables (carrots, string beans, and asparagus) https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2d01fd8ee.jpeg Miso barbecue chicken, braised beef and black bean rice, grilled peach and burrata salad https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8f4f72337.jpeg Miso barbecue chicken https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9b07cfb6d.jpeg Braised beef and black bean rice https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7b32b71a9.jpeg Grilled peach and burrata salad https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...363adf32e.jpeg Sweet bites: fruit salad (pineapple, strawberry, mango, and papaya) and ice cream (mint chocolate chip and vanilla) |
Nice Thai basil dip, wish there were more vegetables supplied to dip with. The burrata in the peach and burrata salad is super smooth. The chicken was a bit dry by itself, so you need to eat it with the slaw and dressing. The braised beef and black bean rice tastes a lot better than it looks!! Eat your fruit first before diving into the ice cream. :) |
Nice thanks! I fly this route in a couple days, so very timely :)

The blanched veggies always make me a bit sad, just because I adore the taro chips and basically always want the Welcome taste to feature those. But its nice that they mix it up with a healthier option sometimes ... I haven't had that dip yet, but the dips in general I tend to adore, so looking forward to trying it, even if it means with veggies, lol.

August Westbound Dinner
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b45769f07b.jpg Starter: Fried wontons with Asian sesame dip https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a46cfb5760.jpg Mains: Heirloom Tomato & Peach Salad, Chicken Ribolita, Pork Belly https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ef490f45d4.jpg Fresh fruit for dessert Ice cream was not catered! Not that I need it... I like that the normal offering now seems to be both fruit and the ice cream for dessert. Except for tonight. Fried wontons and dip were great. I could have done another of those easily. Salad was OK, although not really into raw tomatoes. Just the peaches and more of them would have been perfect. The chicken part of the Chicken Ribolita was decent. Pork belly was OK, one piece was all fat however. Port wine was literally port wine, not a sauce, so very alcohol-y. Also available were: Piri Piri Scallops and Mushroom Cobbler. Not the best I've had in Mint, for my tastes anyway, but filling enough. Sometimes I wish they'd be less fancy and just have a solid steak option. |

I’ve noticed the “freezer burn” or ice crystals on a number of different pictures and not just with JetBlue... do you think it’s less of an issue with the age of the ice cream and more an issue with semi melted and then quickly frozen again or just deep deep dry ice frozen or something? Maybe it’s an unfortunate necessity that comes with the territory of having ice cream on a jet... |
Freezing condensation will cause it. I'm willing to bet that the caterer (ABM) mishandled it.

My fiancee is sitting Mint on a JFK-SFO flight right now, and she says the banana ice cream is delicious and tastes like frozen banana pudding.
I think it's the first time she's ever texted me about food in-flight, so I guess she was happy about this. :D |
