Apologies if this is posted elsewhere, but apparently June 1st is the day when we will see more changes to the catering service.

It's unclear to me if they will be "rolling back" to the period of time before they began this "catering experiment" based on feedback here, or if they are merely postponing further cuts / "snacking" adjustments (like the elimination of meals altogether on some routes). We shall see.

Packaged pretzels instead of warm nuts then a choice of “salad “ or a cheese and fruit plate. At least we still had PDB.

This is the vegetarian egg wrap. Mushrooms, eggs, cheese, bell pepper. Not bad

ORD-ANC (4pm Departure)
Lobster Mac and Cheese or Lentil Chili. Mac and Cheese was warmed up perfectly. Very tasty, but a little on the small side. Side Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette, Warm Cookie served after dinner. (fantastic crew)
ANC-ORD (9:20pm Departure)
Shocked to have 2 options on this late flight
Cold Chicken Breast on the side, and a large salad, Ranch Dressing. Cold Bread on the side, and Ghirardelli Chocolate on side.
Peperoni Calzone (hot)
Before arrival warm muffin.

I've had so many lackluster meals recently I'd given up hope of seeing it again.

Yup! It was actually really good, a bit too small, I wanted more and but it had some big chunks of lobster.. It was my first time having it and I was pleasantly surprised.

sounds like you got mine. 2 tniy pieces in the whole plate MCO-SFO. suppose i should count myself lucky given the large number of people who were forced into the #2 choice of lentils which did not look particularly appetizing. lots of unhappy paid F pax.

The people I know who like lentils think that the lentils on UA are good... I do not like lentils though
