I have seen some not very recent (2007-2009) reports that the CONO departing Chicago (at 8 p.m.) boards sleeper passengers at 7:30 and immediately opens the diner for them. Is that still true?

As of my CHI-59-JAN-58-CHI joyride this past June, Dinner is not served until about an hour after departure.

I'm certain many a Sleeper passenger simply forfeits, as the 370XX Diner-Lounge did not appear overly busy.

A 9 p.m. (even 8 p.m.) dinner seating is WAY too late for me. I keep farm-boy hours.

So the spouse and I will dine before boarding.
