When was the last time you heard someone talk about airplane food as if it was a work of art? Probably never. While the best of premium cabin dining can measure up to some of the better restaurants on the ground, economy class food doesn’t really do much in the way of inspiring us. There’s…
We here at Fly&Dine know (perhaps better than most) that food on airplanes is a touchy subject. Passengers complain about the quality — or lack thereof — on a regular basis. Airlines do their best, but with massive restrictions and increasing pressure on their bottom lines, spending money on top notch meals isn’t a huge…
The future isn’t coming, people. That’s because it’s already here. On-demand everything, pocket-sized devices with the collective intelligence of the world stored inside, Dippin’ Dots: we’re not dreaming of what the future is going to be anymore. We’re just trying to figure out how to live in it. No example better symbolizes our futuristic world…
While the world at large still thinks of airplane food as slightly-warmed garbage, there are a select few (yourself included if you’re reading this!) that know we’re on the cusp of a better airplane food future. To that end, I scoured Twitter for the best tweets over the past month that shine a light on…
The Internet, at times, is a giant game of telephone. Something happens, somebody writes about it, somebody else summarizes that, somebody summarizes the summary, and so on. Maybe it’s less telephone and more Human Centipede (I’ll let you google that terrible phrase on your own if you’re not familiar — but this is your warning…
We’ve all seen the photographs of air travelers decades ago flying in their finest suits and dresses, but did you know the quality of the food used to match the quality of their outfits? Nowadays, it’s commonplace to criticize the food we’re eating in-flight, but in the early days of aviation, people were more than…
I’m always on the lookout for news about food on airplanes, so imagine my surprise when I came across this story on Kotaku, a gaming blog owned by Gawker Media. Basically, there’s a trending topic on Weibo (China’s version of Twitter) this week with the hashtag #RidiculeAirPlaneFood (or #å槽飞机é¤# if you’re so inclined). Apparently, it…
There are some topics that come up repeatedly in the tiny corner of the world that Fly&Dine occupies. One of them is why airline food tastes so bad. Another is about who has the best airline food in the whole wide world. They both make sense, based on what internet readers gravitate towards. Explanations of…
Did you go outside and play yesterday? I hope you did. It was the last official day of Spring 2015 and the longest day of the year, so if you were going to imbibe some fresh air, yesterday was the day to do it. Today is the day to read; catch up; get your weekly…
It seems like every two months a study comes out to tell us why food tastes worse on airplanes and the media goes nuts covering the story as if the secrets of humanity are finally being uncovered. Usually, the studies show that air pressure, moisture, and decreased sensory sensitivity are the factors that most influence…
The headline on this New York Times story on April 14th was “This Sandwich Is Worth the Space in Your Carry-On,” but like “Dewey Wins” and “Mission Accomplished,” it’s a flat-out lie. Martha Rose Shulman of the Recipes for Health column uses six paragraphs to extol the virtues of a goat cheese and roasted red pepper…
Ladies and gentlemen, the future has arrived. Within two years, airlines will have the capability to add robot chefs onto their flights and that means you could be eating robot food that was cooked fresh for you instead of the warmed-up cardboard rectangles that haunt your economy class dreams. Click the play button to get…
Another day, another outlet posting about not eating beans before flights. It’s a little old, don’t you think? Actually, that’s rather rude of me because the group that made the post is AARP, the advocacy group for retired people that also sounds like the noise a seal makes. They posted “10 Foods to Avoid Before…
There is a dystopian future where the government takes pride in being called Kafkaesque. They make rules that create discord and drive the citizenry crazy. They throw half the world’s population into prison. Inside those prisons, the people are treated like less than cattle. One of their punishments? They have to eat the food of…
