Food Facts Update

Maverickstation · Jan 27, 2019

Yes, the Food Facts site has been updated, and No, it does not include the revamped offerings on the CL, or LSL.

The revised Food Facts site applies to the trains with full dining car service, it breaks out sides on their own, and includes some interesting notes

on how certain offerings should be handled and prepared, as an example it mentions that the Long Grain and Wild Rice side can also be an "emergency staple" if needed.

Here is an example.

And they still have the Parlor Car menu on the site.

"All components in this meal kit are fully cooked." Sounds like they are describing a MRE rather than a Dining Car meal

Fresh and Contemporary?

The Parlor car menu should be the new contemporary menu. Still pre made but it was good! And almost no labor involved just 1.5 hard working individuals. (Parlor car attendant with very limited behind the scenes help from diner)

amtrakfoodfacts.com has been updated again. For what it's worth, the link for trains offering "Flexible Dining" end with "menu-items-limited", and trains with "Traditional Dining" end in "menu-items-common". The Southwest Chief and the Sunset Limited seem to have their own unique links and menus. The menu for the Auto Train isn't available, but I don't think it was with the previous version of the site either. Unfortunately, their spelling of "Zephyr" leaves a lot to be desired.
