[QUOTE]Originally posted by CoastStarlight99: [QB] Good story...and so true. I remember some CS crews would bring dessert toppings as well. I have to say out of all the new food, breakfast and dessert is the worst. The new desserts are way more fancy then the old ones and not nearly as good. Additionally, you just can't warm up french toast, eggs, etc. and expect them to taste fresh. Dinner is quite good however. I put up some final photos just now. Also, the LSA in the Diner did tell me that they may be bringing back real dishes to the Starlight soon.

The chef was a mountain of a man who was proud to call New Orleans home and proud that I thought it was the best steak I had ever eaten on an Amtrak train. [/qb][/QUOTE]There used to be a chef who worked the Coast Starlight, probably 5 or so years ago, who always brought a bag of his own seasonings from home. He would fix up the steaks, the pasta, and all of the dishes with his own special twist---and it was awesome. I just can not get into AmFood these days though.....this stuff just doesn't compare to how they used to do it. Maybe the whole SDS/disposable dinnerware thing will eventually go away. I can only hope so! [/qb][/QUOTE]The fellow I'm speaking of was a large black man who had to weigh in the 375 to 400 pound range. I complimented his steak and he broke into a huge grin and said "I'm from New Orleans....what did you expect?". I would imagine that Amtrak's food program today, if he is still with the company, is somewhat of an insult to this man. [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
