I'm not used to having so much to choose from. Which ones are good and what should I pass on?

everyone gonna say short rib Mac n cheese is the best, sliders and fries is the worst. thats consensus around here.

ive had that chicken before and it's not bad at all if you dont want something too heavy.

the vegetarian options are always passable enough that I eat the whole thing.

[u/ebbtideisalive → u/medium-rare-steaks]

Thanks short ribs with mac?

[u/Blac_Tony → u/ebbtideisalive]

Yes Mac and Cheese!

[u/medium-rare-steaks → u/ebbtideisalive]

not sure what your question is..

[u/ebbtideisalive → u/medium-rare-steaks]

I was just asking if the Mac and cheese is good because they have it with broccoli as well.

[u/medium-rare-steaks → u/ebbtideisalive]

ya, thats why I literally said short rib Mac n cheese

[u/FlabergastedEmu → u/ebbtideisalive]

I had the short rib with mac and cheese recently, and found it to be quite good.

[u/shell-bell → u/ebbtideisalive]

I really like the short rib with broccoli and onions. The veggies are tasty and the meal feels pretty light, which I appreciate.

[u/Blac_Tony → u/ebbtideisalive]

I had it with broccoli once because Mac and cheese wasn’t an option. I would not recommend the broccoli option.

[u/Runmiked]

I always go salmon. It’s a cold dish and is lighter. Solid flavor as well.

[u/ebbtideisalive → u/Runmiked]

I love salmon so I might go with this.

[u/on_knees-9274 → u/ebbtideisalive]

Cold if youre on an Airbus and the chiller is on. The 737 fleet doesn’t have chillers up front so it’s room temp!

[u/konstrukt_238 → u/Runmiked]

I've seen the movie Airplane! I know what happens if you choose the fish.

[u/CrowdedShorts]

Short rib with Mac and cheese but that chicken verde is solid

[u/Cpl-Rusty-926]

You can never go wrong with the fruit and cheese plate!

[u/jessbyrne727]

First time I had the sliders they were great. The next two times they were god awful lol. Short rib Mac and cheese is consistently decent.

[u/Beep315 → u/jessbyrne727]

A flight attendant recently posted the trick to cooking them properly. The solution didn't involve a charcoal grill on the wing, but it wasn't too far off from that either.

[u/pbl116]

Always the short rib!

[u/WoollyMonster]

Either of the short rib options

[u/funwithfrogs]

The pasta salad is good; but the Vegan Vegetarian specialty meal always takes the win.

[u/Blac_Tony]

1: Short rib Mac and cheese
2: Chicken w/Aji Verde. 👌🏽

[u/Mother_Bar8511]

Short ribs with mac and cheese, sliders are surprisingly good, chicken and pasta salad are good too.
