Iah-sea 3pm
Any idea what the meal service is like on a 3pm IAH-SEA? Lunch is listed, but how many options, etc? The only other IAH-SEA I've done was a dinner flight that had 3 options and the sunday for dessert.
Thanks for the help!

6am SFO-EWR p.s.
Raisin Brain with fruit, waffle with some sauce or quiche. No menus printed.
Took 1:55min for first tray to be delivered (row 3 of the front cabin). 15 min later had the quiche. Was tasty but I just ate a little off the top and then ate what I brought on board.

PHX-IAH lunch today (RPU cleared! call the press!) the two choices were either a chicken salad with pineapple or a reuben sandwich. My salad had fruitn on the side,no soup for me today for either entree. My neighbor had the sandwich and it didn't look very good. Warm nuts in the ramkin was nice.
Oh, on the connecting iah-sat flight on a CR9 in F the flight attendant said "Thank you for being a 1K with us". That's the first time in years I've heard anything close to this and really goes a long way. It's the little things right? Go figure it was Sky West.

I like the new choices
OGG-LAX lunch had chicken katsu w/ curry sauce. I was dreading a soggy breading, but it was a pretty good job. Could've used a little more curry for the rice.
LAX-OGG dinner had Shanghai Noodles w/ dumplings. Not bad at all...
Haven't seen Chicken Cacciatore for almost a year now!

Possibly booking IAH-SLC 9am flight in December.
Scheduled for 3h30m and it says Breakfast in First, so what type of food can I expect?
I can't remember does UA go by status for meal ordering or is it FEBO or front to back now?

Front to back only. That's why I always try to get a seat closest to the front as usually they are out of option 2 by the 2nd or 3rd row.

MAIN:
Beef Short Rib
bordelaise sauce, roasted parsnips and carrots, goat cheese grits

Ice cream was good, but missed the chopped nuts and the Grand Marnier
to top it off.
Wines were the usual mediocre kind.
Overall a pretty good dinner, for a domestic route.

The goat cheese is well mixed in to the grits, so best bet is to choose a different entree. I think the salads come pre-plated with blue cheese, but that is easy enough to pick around if you aren't into it.

This. The goat is one with the grits (which, since I like neither, is not a good combination). The blue cheese is likely already on the salad. On some INTL flights I've watched the crew add toppings in the galley, but for domestic I'm guessing its preplated. You'll be able to work around most of it, but blue is crumbly and a few small pieces will likely be left behind.

LAX->EWR (New ps service)
Redeye Snack
Note: for a detailed write up on my overall new ps experience, see the direct link to my post in the "ps transitions to EWR" thread here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...l#post25651242
PDB of choice
Snack was a caprese sandwich (I think the bun was asiago) and served with chicken tortilla soup. Small chocolate on the tray for dessert.
The soup was very good, but the sandwich was so-so.
A muffin was offered as the pre arrival service, but I declined. So sorry no photos of that. It seemed "baked on board" and offered from a bread basket type of service.
