Totally agree! We waited over an hour for de-icing so lunch would definitely have been appreciated!

Polaris Cabin PS Service SFO-EWR 2/18/2017
***This is my first time posting pictures through Flickr...sorry for the layout of pictures.***
Service was pretty good and the food was surprisingly well executed. The salad was fresh and had a good mixture of textures and crunch (loved the beets an apples)
The appetizer of the hunk of goat cheese is ok. A bit too much cheese but the mango is palatable. The pretzel roll is good as always.
For the main, my first choice was the chicken but she told me they were out of the chicken in the first cabin but she would look in the second cabin since they are catered separately. (I ordered the steak as a 2nd choice...but voila! she found a chicken for me^^)
The chicken was perfectly done and pretty moist. LOVED the lentils...a nice and healthy option for a change. Parsnips and carrots were also pretty good.
Service was VERY efficient...a bit too fast in my view....I had to rush finishing the main course since they were already coming down the aisle for the sundae service.
Cookies were good as always prior to arrival.

2/17/17 UA 403 SFO-IAD 772 Vers. 5
Seat 1E
PDB + refill/topoff(Boarding delays had the crew going around to do 2nd rounds/topoffs.)
Breakfast choices were:
Souffle
French Toast
Fruit Plate w/ Banana
Bready thing:
Flaky biscuits or sweet roll.
Sizable fruit plate w/ yogurt for starters w/ chunks of melon, pineapple and grapes.
I had the souffle, which amazingly enough, turned out to be the right choice. United's history w/ eggs has always been hit or miss. Either a scrambled sitting in a sea of oil from the sausages next to them,or a rubbery puck w/ chew-toy like consistency.
This was a total hit. Light, fluffy, dry(by airline meal egg standards), just like a souffle should be, w/ a nice side of potatoes and asparagus spears. Easily one of the best airline meals I've ever had and it even felt vaguely healthy too.
I had a couple passes at the biscuits because our FA kept coming by with them and basically being a polite and professional biscuit "pusher". You can totally buy me w/ biscuits. And Illy.

2/20/17 IAD->SFO
DEP 06:35 ARR 09:30 B-738
1A
PDB, again w/ time for refills.
I had Illy, my seatmate started pounding Bloody Marys starting w/ PDB service.
Breakfast choices(No menu offered):
Pancakes, "Houston Scramble" or fruit plate.
Orders were taken based on some sort of precedence, but it was definitely not front-to-back. Crew tooks orders from higher-status pax while we were still at the gate, then got to the rest of us once we were in the air.
There was the usual fruit plate to start with. I ordered the scramble and, again, it didn't suck. A light splashing of Crystal or something over the eggs along w/ sausage and the biscuits. The eggs were good. Not too wet, not too dry. I was also pleased to see that they were not drowned in a pile of salsa or red sauce.
I had more Illy and then some juice to drink while my seatmate continued w/ the Bloody Marys.
I'm probably coming a bit late to the party here, esp. since this was one of my first flights this year, but I was really impressed by the apparent turnaround in food up front. Is there a thread around here about the overall food/catering changes ?

Two really good mains on IAH-LAX-IAH on Feb 24 and Feb 26. The mushroom risotto was one of the best things I've ever had on UA, and the chicken mac and cheese was quite tasty too. I feel the domestic mains in 2017 have been quite good so far.

Wow and a decent amount of asparagus not just a measly little stalk.

MEXIAH
1205 PM
Lunch
73G
Steak or chicken; no description that I could remember. Orders taken front to back.
Steak was seriously overcooked; potatoes were burnt around the edges. Salad wasn't that great either. Only ate it because I hadn't eaten all morning. Most likely one of the worst meals in terms of quality I've had in recent times although I can't recall MEX catering being great overall.

ORD-LGA UAx E175 9am
Cereal/fruit/scone/yogurt or breakfast sandwhich...
What a monstrosity. Cold. Think it was trying to be a French Toast bun but it seemed more like a sliced bread cinamon roll. Had 4 pieces of ham in it with a cream cheese (I guess) spread on the top piece and jam/chutney type on the bottom. I had one bit and then just picked out the ham and ate it.

Contrary to all the ingredients this food was very bland.
