Can a famous chef help change the reputation of airline food? The latest to give it a shot will be celeb chef Todd English who is creating the new food-for-purchase menu for Delta's coach class. The options will include breakfast lunch and dinner and will be available on flights of four hours or more starting on September 13. So far the menu includes a breakfast wrap filled with egg salad, turkey, cheddar cheese and roasted red peppers, a California salad, chicken Caprese salad and an Asian chicken breast served with Asian slaw and Forbidden rice salad. Prices will range from $2 to $10. They've also contracted nightclub owner (and Cindy Crawford spouse) Rande Gerber to whip up some tasty cocktails including the Big Apple (Woodford Reserve Bourbon, Stirrings Apple Martini mix and cranapple juice), Amarulla wake-up (Amarulla and coffee) and a Caipirosca (Finlandia vodka served with Caipirosca mix). The drinks are free in first and business class and $5 each in coach.
Meanwhile in first class, Chef Michelle Bernstein has created some new creations that include short ribs in a red wine sauce with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes and a zucchini/squash medley and fettuccine in a Porcini Mushroom sauce with sauteed mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes Julienne topped with parmesan cheese, hot fudge and caramel ice cream sundaes and selections from the new Godiva Chocoiste Collection. Also glassware and metal cutlery are back in first class as well as Earth-friendly amenity kits that use all-natural, recycled/recyclable and biodegradable materials.
