But yeah, the Branded food rocked the few times I did it.
I miss being away from COEX.

I stood in line with an fo in atl who told me **** D0, I'm gonna get a sandwich. In my book that's what it's all about. As far as bringing food from home, I don't have anyone in the kitchen and shouldn't have to be my own wife. But ten bucks on a meal at the airport isn't built into my salary.

I never had an issue getting a meal when I was still flying. Oh yeah that's cause the wife worked at Chelsea so she at least told me what to expect. I don't think ACA had crew meals. I took so many delays when I was in ORD ops and the CA would tell us "going to get my crew meal".

LGA's vendor just changed so I'm not familiar with what they are. In CLT they are delivered to the aircraft, normally a sandwich, bag of chips, cookies, M&M's, and an apple.

Other crews taking our crew meals was a big reason why we lost the good ones and now have the crappy ones, so thanks for that.

Although I used to love getting a break for food and finding an irate gate agent. Hey, it's in the contract that when we want to eat we eat. No questions asked. Oh, you forgot to print up a release. That's funny the ACARS said it would be waiting at the gate! No, no, no. I'll be back in 10 minutes.
