Stogel-Hermolis Scale:

3. Barely edible, would only eat if very hungry
4. Below average, but would eat if hungry (Stogel [fresh-frozen])

6. Above average KSML (Borenstein?)
7. A good KSML, might even eat if not hungry.

9. An excellent KSML, could pass for something served in a decent restaurant.
10. Top of the line KSML, would be happy eating this at a decent restaurant. (Hermolis)

Bornstein is NEVER fresh. Always previously frozen. TK serves fresh (as in fresh crunchy vegetables) KSML. Some of their meals are better than others, but I would take them over Borenstein in a heartbeat (I mostly don't like sweet dishes).
I think you're a TK insider.

To be clear - talking about J class here (for Hamasbia ex YYZ). And  I would call it an 8. But at the end of the day this is subjective and always changing.
Stogel is a 5 based on that?

Have a mint flight on JetBlue, lax-bos. Tried to request ksml, was told that can’t pre-order it just ask onboard. Is that true? Do they stock ksml for every mint flight?
