This Businessweek article gives a rundown of how several airlines are trying to improve their menus. But how gourmet can airline food get, really? Seems like the limited delivery mechanisms would turn even the most delicious food into rubber, but you can't blame them for trying.

    • air france, virgin, and british airways. hate to sound euro-centric, but their food has always been better in coach than on american carriers...

    • The contestants on Top Chef were challenged to create gourmet airline fare--the judges were critical (then again, when isn't Bourdain critical?) but I think most of what they made looked pretty good.

      Certainly better than, y'know, the pretzels and lukewarm tea I had last time I flew.

    • This site contains images of thousands of meals from hundreds of different airlines and it looks like there is some pretty fantastic food out there to be had.

    • My guess, Scott? Crappy airline food. Only now they'll add the setup, "Can you believe airlines wasted all that money hiring top chefs to plan their menus?"

      I remember being excited when JetBlue introduced the all-beef stick and le petite fromage.

    • The fact that "lunchables" is an actual word is frightening to me. When do you think they'll include it in the collegiate dictionary? And what will its definition be?
