TransCon Ice Cream Sundaes Cart!
Hi! On 9/1 I was flying transcon SFO-IAD on #574. We were a little delayed as the Pursuer and F/C flight attendant were taken off the flight and reassigned to HNL, and they brought 2 HNL FAs to work our flight. We were all confused.
After the meal service in F/C, I look up and what do I see? The return of the Ice Cream Sundae Cart! It was fully stocked with all the toppings and flavors just like on International F/C flights. It was a really nice surprise! Hope this continues. Safe Travels!

Sundaes on appropriately-timed flights SFO-IAD and v.v. have been the norm since 2/1.

Hi! No, this wasn't a PS flight as it was a 2 cabin 757 with 24 regular F/C seats. it was the 12:11pm flight to IAD. I was shocked to see the Sundae Cart on the flight. When I connected to MCO, the old CO crew said they do it all the time on TransCon flights. But, this was a first for me! Safe Travels!

SAN-ORD redeye "italian" cold plate
I was expecting the dreaded cold chicken plate, but was pleasantly surprised with a caprese-style tray of fresh mozarella, tomato slices, prosciutto, and a bag of bruschetta slices.
It's definitely an improvement over everything else I've been served on a red-eye in the last two years.

Mozzarella. I only eat Veg and limited chicken (FA's love me) so I did not have the cheese but generally Mozzarella is somewhat tasteless. On another note the other choice was Beef tenderloin. Again, I wont eat it but for a "lunch" I thought it put UA several notches above DL in transcon catering (Non-PS and Non-BE)

Ah, mozzarella...thanks for clarifying that...love it on pizza and lasagna, but for a "deli plate", this seems to be an interesting choice for UA...although I do love snacking on cheese (pepper jack, sharp cheddar, etc.), I can't honestly say I've ever thought, "hmmm, a ball of mozzarella" would sure sound good right now"

EWR to LAX Morning Flight
I'll be on the morning (8:30 ish) EWR to LAX flight this Saturday in BF on one of pmCO's 767-400's. I've seen posts for the later flights, but can anyone here let me know what to expect for the early one?
I'm assuming it will be breakfast, and possibly a snack later???
Many thanks for any replies.

HNL-SFO red eye last night had the southwest chix with corn and chips. No cookie or anything after the snack but I did see warm scones on landing but I was too sleepy. I very quick Pacific crossing, 4:15 in the air

You haven't had the right one, then. Admittedly, chances of ever finding that on a UA flight are less than zero, but if you can ever get the quality product (and I'd be shocked if this wasn't easy to find in your neck of the woods) it marries very well taste, texture and health qualities not often found in cheese.
