OK sorry for saying "microwaved". It is mostly reheated stuff. The point is very few things are prepared in the Dining Car kitchen. And BTW, in my experience, the pre-packaged salads in the Contemporary Boxes are uniformly better than anything I have ever had in an Amtrak Dining Car of late. I have not had a pre-packaged salad from the Cafe of late, so can't comment on that.Not even close to true. The Dining car food is re-heated in a convection oven, which is what is used in many chain restaurants to re-heat "pre-prepped" entrees. Many of the items are reheated on the grill. The dining car also serves fresh made entree salads that are much better than the pre-packaged ones you get in the cafe. I'm not saying the dining car is 5-star food, but it's WAY more than just presentation.
