Ok folks, order the BBQ bacon beer burger. It's so much better than all the crap currently served up front. This from EWR-DEN on Saturday:






(and yes, I plated it myself)

Recent LGA-DEN, pre-ordered the chicken curry noodles (forget what the other choice was). Taste was okay, not awful. The mozzarella needed lots of salt/pepper (or even better, a balsamic dressing or something).
The return DEN-EWR, upgrade cleared right after T-24; on-board choices were chicken with orzo and a vegetarian grain bowl. My husband and I both ordered the chicken, but as he has no status (I am 1K), got shafted with the grain -- or did he? The orzo was totally bland/plain. Might as well have been prison food. The grain appetizer salad was decent, although that was a lot of grain for whoever also had the grain entree. And a LOT of carbs for everyone. Supposedly the grain entree was good. Rolls did not come until we were mostly done with our meals, I think because they forgot. Oh well.

They were on the clear plate I used for the burger.

Charcuterie -IMHO-Best meal on UA this year. 12-6-22 IAH-LAS-Dinner.

Agree. Had it last week ORD/RSW. Best thing I have had in a long time in UA first. Every other choice was a carb bomb.

They were all out of egg dish before they got to 2nd Biz cabin (I was in row 9)
so I was stuck with the sugar bomb breakfast
sure wish one of these days I could get the pre-order option it’s never available on my regular flights (Lax to EWR/IAD/HNL)
this is why I prefer AA I know what I am going eat

I have no idea why UA has decided it cannot offer meal reservations on widebody jets...

I'd take a HARD PASS on this one: Green chili frittata. The sauce vastly outnumbered the actual frittata. However, the fruit bowl was excellent and the croissant lukewarm, so maybe I call it even?


also no PDB, but a nice crew all the same

At this point pre-ordering meals should be system-wide on every mainline flight, every route, every aircraft and include an option for a snack box if you don't like any of the entree choices. It's really not that difficult to do - but perhaps when you're running "the world's best airline and flag carrier of the United States", your product is already perfect and needs no further improvement

Preordered the charcuterie plate and was very satisfied. I've seen this a few times above and it seems from every station there is a bit of variation on presentation.

Pre-ordered the bacon burger for today's IAD-IAH flight and it was much better than the brick roll burgers of the past. It was actually edible. Yesterday's chicken entree IAH-DCA was edible as well. Personally I am not a fan of the "salad" with grains and corn and such but I ate some of it on both flights.

13 Dec EWR-DFW: Pre-ordered the charcuterie plate, but flight was miscatered. Chicken noodles weren’t as good as the first time. The grain salad is good - more like this, please. Purser struggled all flight - didn’t want to be there; No PDB, no 1K meal priority. The flight also had a barking dog.
