Yes, being that they are both Chicago-based companies. PMUA used to serve the cheesecake as dessert at one point.
Looks like it might be mochi cake? That would make the dessert gluten-free.

I am fond of mochi cake, but I imagine it wouldn't survive airline catering — it would wind up grainy and leaden.

Lemon is salad not dessert, dangit.

Thumbs up on the vegetarian ravioli ( SFO-EWR) yesterday. Salad with balsamic cup (same dressing as served in Y). Pretzel bread and cookie.
Quantity wise it isn’t much more than used to be served in Y though

SFO-KOA 7pm dinner
Is it the same chicken katsu or pineapple fried rice heading to the island? I vaguely remember a different offering westbound for dinner. Thanks.

Geography has its gastronomic advantages.

Fortunately, that delicious lemon cake is not one of them.
Biba United Air Lines!
Happy Thanksgiving (in one hour).

November 22, UA 487, SFO to IAD, Polaris 787, Lunch service. Choice of chicken or pasta dish. The chicken was very good as was its warm veggie side. Pretzel bread was warmed. Crew was on point, but for a Polaris Trans-con cabin...no amenity kits? Confirmed with crew that PDBs return on the 23rd of November, as has been reported.
I flew DCA - SFO back in June and I got an Olympics themed amenity kit. Pillows and blankets aren't on trans-cons anymore because of COVID?
Former 7 year 1K, back to flying in 1st again. No pre-arrival cookies either? Lots has changed.
