"Gordon Ramsays Plane Food" news and stories

I miss good plane food. I remember once taking an American Airlines flight from NY to California and not only having the smoothest ride to ever be experienced, but also the best food. I can't recall what it was now, but I remember the feeling -- being completely surprised and happy at the state of the food served to me, and how very delicious it was.

These days, it's even harder to get good plane food with all the cutbacks, but as Serious Eats points out, lucky Heathrow visitors have the option of eating "Gordon Ramsay's Plane Food." Beyond eating a selection of gourmet dishes at the restaurant in Terminal 5, you can get "picnics" to take with you on the plane. We're talking delicious meals in small-serving amounts that aren't only well-packaged in an insulated picnic bag, but also big on flavor.

The picnic courses cost £11.95 each, but that's not bad for something that saves you from those wretchedly awful meals, and does so with style. Now if only every airport offered this ... holiday travel would be so much easier!
