That was fast. Not that I'm the biggest fan of quinoa, but it was nice to have a live station.

A big shame, I'm here right now. The quinoa space is used for nothing, just sitting empty. The hummus wrap tastes terrible. I'm going to swing by the other lounge, hope there's better food.

Aye.
They just learnt how to play-the-game:
1) Make it all flashy and shiny and offer great food and drinks when the Polaris Lounge and/or UA Club opens
2) Invite all the bloggers & press for the grand opening, and have them take millions of pictures that end up on the web
3) Scale back almost immediately on quality & quantity of offerings, knowing full well that anyone who does online searches will still be impressed by the [supposed] offerings that continue to show up years after launch
Quite sad actually.

In the last two weeks I have been very happy with the offerings at LAX, EWR terminal A and EWR C74. ORD by gate B5 was not quite as good as those others, but still reasonable.
Sorry I didn't take pictures.

I feel like the reduction in quality and benefits at UC's and Polaris lounges is a direct result of business travel not returning 100%. Since the majority of J travelers are buy ups, non-revs and leisure travelers, UA feel like they don't have to try as hard.

The food offerings are so much better today than they were just a few years ago when all they offered was kibble and beer.
My only issue has been some overcrowding and the concomitant draw down of supply of one or more offerings.
I have had a ham and egg breakfast sandwich, a roast beef sandwich and a lemon chicken and rice plate all within the last two weeks at UCs around the country.
