Saw no hot chocolate stations at IAH C South or DFW UCs. Bah humbug.

They did not do that at SFO or EWR before the Polaris lounges opened. So it goes back to competitive pressures.

Does anyone know who caters the NZ *A lounge? I guess if they have the same caterer they might have rather similar food.
I think ORD should go to the Mediocre category and all of the other UC's should go to a new category, called 'Subsistence diet offerings'.

I just did 2 TATLs - one on UA, one on DL, and the difference between the LH lounges at FRA, the UC at IAD, and the Sky Club at ATL couldn't be more stark. If the SC in the ATL E terminal hadn't been so overcrowded, I would have given it almost the same ranking as the LH lounge in the Z terminal - substantial food, unlike the pitiful offerings in the UC.
I get it that UA is putting it's emphasis on Polaris, but they really ought to throw the UCs a few more crumbs.

When I transited IAH last week, they had self-service egg nog in the UC. If the bartender hadn't been swamped at the time I would have asked for some dark rum, but still, as virgin egg nog, it was pretty good.

EWR needs to make Tomato Basil soup standard as one of its two daily soups. It is acceptable to vegetarians and vegans and easily digestible for people who have problems with that. A lot of people don’t eat beans, lentils, cheese, meats, or broccoli for various reasons but Tomato is a safe bet for most. Since EWR does not offer an entree and soup is the most substantial thing they’ve got, one of the soups needs to be something almost everybody can eat.

As for comment above, many of us who have a tough time with dairy don't want creamy soups - I much prefer the broth soups - i.e. chicken, miso, even vegetable.

Update on LAX UC breakfast: Only limited fare before 7am (bread, egg salad bar, yogurt bar). The egg, sausage, and oatmeal come out at 7am.
