I’d settle easily for that pasta and side salad. Green salad being a plus. Cheese pasta and cheese cake is a bit rich though.

Whats with cauliflower everywhere. Cauliflower isn’t cheap yet it features in salad and now mains.

The pre-order F burger meal does have bacon, and the sauce is BBQ, not "bistro" — or at least that's what it was last time I saw it. Has that changed?

edit: looked up hemispheres, it describes the BOB burger as having "bistro" sauce; I think we're having some burger nomenclature confusion here.
I recently pre-order The Bistro Burger EWR-MCO in First Class and there was no bacon in the description nor on the burger itself.

Well then I guess that wasn't the right distinction I suggested!

Can confirm also. Earlier this month, ordered burger on the transcon route from EWR to SFO while the preorder on TCON flights still worked. No bacon in sight...would have been visible and stuck out of the bun.

Any Difference Between Mid-Con Lunch / Dinner?

Hey guys, I don’t post here often but figured this is good a time as any, so I just booked First from Denver to Madison via Chicago. The DEN-ORD segment departs at 3:22 pm with lunch served. I also have the option to take a dinner flight later for the same price and will change if it means a better meal. Thanks.

it will be the same meal. No difference. Which is sad.

There is absolutely no reason to sacrifice taking the most convenient UA flight for a different UA meal. .

No snack bags ORD-EWR this AM. Pretzels or stroppwaffle passed out just like coach except from the basket instead of the cart. UA should officially extend the meal benefit for 1k/GS to first.

The only difference between sad bag and the basket is mini water and isopropyl wipe. But I rate you as fortunate — I have been getting stuck with biscoffs for the past month, which in my view are vastly inferior to the stroopwafel.

I have been denied. (Did not press the matter.)

Even when the baseline in F was no meal? Weird if so
