For George - People Really Hate the New Amtrak Meals

[Catseye3]

It makes me very sad to see your comments about the dining experience on board the City of New Orleans, since the song is one of my tippy top faves. Can't feature a microwave in amongst that train, no way.

This makes no sense, I know. I just hate knowing it.

I forgot to link this. Here is the current menu for The Empire Builder:

However, this has been suspended through May 31. I don't know if traditional dining has resumed.

Amtrak has restarted "full service" dining on the western routes.

Pan-roasted chicken breast with mushroom risotto, peas, carrots, and fava beans in a mushroom sauce.

Steak....

Breakfast

More Steak

Those meals look pretty good.

But, I still wouldn't travel any other way. I'm blessed to be in Chicago, in the center of the nation, where I can get to most big cities on Amtrak. My only complaint is that some towns I'd like to visit (like Cincinnati) have ungodly arrival times.

Suck it up, buttercup.

Probably the only way Amtrak would consent to stopping there.

Seen on FB today. Needless to say, the food has gotten better.

@bachophile I rode the New York Central "Pacemaker" from New York to Chicago.

I don't remember eating - it was an overnight train, with some significant delays.
