[QUOTE]Originally posted by sbalax: [QB] Henry-- The menu in the Parlour Car was correct. They feature only two items at each meal. The sauce was correct -- Ancho Chili. I suspect this is also a Cuisine Solutions product. Nannette said they come frozen in plastic bags and are heated in a convection oven. That may explain why she needed our menu choice at the time we reserved for dinner. We've discovered that these sorts of things reheat much better from thawed as opposed to frozen. There were a couple of passengers who wanted to eat in the Parlour Car but they simply couldn't fit into the booths. Nannette accommodated them by serving them at the small bar tables even though she said she was not supposed to serve there. I don't remember the tables in the Diner being any roomier so I think their only other option would be to have their car attendant bring meals to their rooms. I'll write more later in a trip report but a comment here about the Parlour Cars might be appropriate. The coffee machines will probably be going soon. They apparently usually are broken which entails a $300.00 service call. They also don't generate much revenue. Our car was looking a bit shabby. There were what looked like red wine stains on the curtains at two booths. The swivel chairs need new padding and covers. It's just my opinion, but the steam table is a waste of good space and is just plain ugly. It is not used except, perhaps, for the continental breakfast leaving LA. That could be set up on the bar.
