Airline: AA
Class: F
Route: MIA-CLE
Caterer: Regal
Flight date: 1/23/25.
Meal in pics: Dinner
Cold portion Stogel-Hermolis Scale: 2
Hot portion Stogel-Hermolis Scale: 8

Cold part was nasty, but the short ribs and polenta are probably Regal's best frozen meal.

Dudi Rubinstein: I returned with Arkia IZ992 from New York to Tel Aviv

This is one of the tastiest and freshest kosher meals I've ever had in economy.

Meet the aircraft catering service Fresco Fresh. From New Jersey.
