Well, it's an improvement for me since they took away the hard boiled eggs (2 or more menus ago) and the Chicken Fettuccini (garlic-alfredo cream sauce.) which was my favorite. I tried some of the others and did not like any of them. I will try the french toast (not something I normally eat) and the new beef one on my upcoming trip.I sure hope this isn’t their “fix” that’s been long talked about...
I’m assuming all of these are more or less the same level as previous options and not from the Acela vendor
Yeah, I'm a pancakes and waffles man myself, but I'll try French toast in a pinch. Better than packaged muffins or undercooked oatmeal, fer sure.Well, it's an improvement for me since the took away the hard boiled eggs (2 or more menus ago) and the Chicken ?Alfredo?

All flex meal trains will have this menu starting tomorrow (or the 7th-probably depends on which station the train is originating from).Let me ask clarifying questions.
Which trains are offering this menu (just the normal east coast trains?), and how do these options compare with the traditional dining options of the same name?
Of course it's going to be microwaved.... Well, maybe if it's not too busy, they'll use the convection ovens, but of course it's all precooked packaged meals that are reheated.Hooray for Railroad French Toast! (I hope it's not microwaved.)
Well, let me change my tune and get excited for once... I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt!All flex meal trains will have this menu starting tomorrow (or the 7th-probably depends on which station the train is originating from).
I have no idea how they compare - guess we'll find out in a day or two when they update the menus online.
I noticed both shrimp meals are gone. I probably "enjoyed" them the most. I'll be on the CONO and Crescent next month.Well, let me change my tune and get excited for once... I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt!
No, I wasn't expecting it to be fresh-grilled, but in the case of bread products, reheated is usually far superior to microwaved.Of course it's going to be microwaved....

Oh, when I've head the flex meals, they don't microwave to rolls to heat them. At least we can be grateful for small things.No, I wasn't expecting it to be fresh-grilled, but in the case of bread products, reheated is usually far superior to microwaved.
Thankfully, for vegetarians and other diet restricted people, you aren’t in charge of the menu.IMO, the new dinner menu doesn't appear to be much of an improvement over the previous one. The selections have shrunken. It is a disappointment. If we must eat fast food how about a Chicken pot pie, Open turkey sandwich with gravy & vegetables, Lobster Roll, Meatloaf or Seafood au gratin? You can get a far better meal at even a budget place like Panara Bread

Possibly the first time I've ever seen "budget" used in connection with Panera...You can get a far better meal at even a budget place like Panara Bread
It says, "assorted cereals and oatmeal." I wouldn't hold your breath on plain oatmeal being one of the choices. My hunch is that the oatmeal selection will remain the same. We shall see...especially if they've had the common sense to offer PLAIN oatmeal, which they had not done previously.
Looks like little change on lunch/dinner. Still missing ingredients lists, which means I can't eat any of it. If they published the ingredients, some of that might be fine.

Go to any grocery or liquor store and you can buy a four pack of those wines for 7 to 8 dollars. I always bring them with me.There are some good sounding entrees. Looking at the beverage list, no more half bottles of wine? Is $8.50/glass a bit pricey for a glass of wine? I am not familiar with the quality of Barefoot Wines. Is that an improvement?
