[QUOTE]Originally posted by smitty195: [QB] Got your email and the picture of the menu--thank you! I've been away from the computer for a few hours, so I apologize for the delay. I wish I could post a picture onto this website, but as some of you may know, I have unsuccessfully requested instructions on how to do so (especially with a Mac, although it seems equally confusing with a PC). Here is a copy/paste on some info from CorporateMonkey's email: _________ (Regarding the steam table) "They used them during lunch to keep the pasta dish warm. The attendant would arrange the plate (roll, sides, etc...) then mosey over to the table to get the entrée. It seems to be a well thought out plan. Also something of interest, regular train dining rules do not apply, sit where you want, take up as much room as you want." ________________ When I take the trip on the 10th, I guess I'll have to see some things for myself in order to figure out how certain things are being accomplished. I'm not sure how food can be prepared/cooked in the Parlour Car as they do not have any cooking facilities. I believe they might have a microwave (but I'm not even sure that they have that), so I'll have to do some digging to find out. And thanks to the menu that I was sent, I can finally see how Amtrak is putting to use the $8,000 coffee machine. On the Parlour Car menu, the following items are for sale: Espresso Cafe Latte Cappuccino Mocha Hot Chocolate Americano They are all priced at $3.75, except for a double-shot Espresso which is $5.00. The lunch menu shows two entree choices: Chicken/cranberry/walnut chicken salad Wine Country gemelli pasta Carrot cake, apple tart, or ice cream for dessert For dinner, it shows: Beef short rib Pacific Bay scallops There are no prices listed next to lunch and dinner, so I'm guessing this is included in the cost of a sleeper ticket? There is also an information brochure on the wines that will be tasted, and it lists the wines as "Day 1", so I think this means they will have something similar for Day 2? Looks good so far! But I really want to see how they manage to pull off the food service. I have several questions in the back of my mind that I've been pondering for months ever since I found out what they would be doing, so I'm interested in seeing this first-hand so I can understand it better. CorporateMonkey: If you can find out, can you please let us know which Parlour Car number you have? It should be listed above the sliding exit door at both ends of the car. It will be a 5 digit number, and the first 4 numbers will be "3997". The last digit will be one of these: 0, 2, 3, 4, 5. Thanks for all the info! [/QB][/QUOTE]
