Like it or not, Twitter is where we now get the most up-to-date news out there. It may not be curated, it may not even be accurate, but if you want an eye-witness account of something, Twitter’s the place to be. I’m not glued to it 24/7, but I like to keep up as much as I can and today I hit the jackpot! My friend Jo Stougaard aka MyLastBite, one of the most popular food bloggers in America, was invited to American Airlines HQ in Dallas to try their new First Class menu and dishes appearing in the AA Flagship Lounge starting in July (Hey AA! Where’s my invite?!?!). Consulting chef and Hawaiian hero Sam Choy was there, as was BoardingArea/LeChicGeek’s very own Jeanne (formerly of the Heels First team), and former BoardingArea blogger and current AA social media superstar Barb Delollis. Instead of speculating on how everything tasted, I’ll just post Jo’s tweets/Instagrams for all to see.

Looking good, American! Now I just have to figure out how to get into First to sample these new dishes and give you guys a full review!
My mouth is watering just looking at these pics. Yum! Can’t wait to try some of these out.
Very impressive new choices from American. All look wonderful. Very pleased to see so many seafood options, both hot and cold.
