Keeping things restricted to food options available on Amtrak itself, personally I much prefer the cold sandwiches available in the cafe to Flex. Even the Flex-with-a-flower on the LSL.

The ham and Swiss on a pretzel roll one is decent especially if you have them heat it up. Not a huge fan of the turkey and cheddar one.

Got the e-mail today: bus from Marshall to Mineola on the return trip. Eh, that's a lot better than "St. Louis to Ft. Worth is cancelled, enjoy making your own alternate plans"

I can deal witha maybe an hour and a half bus ride...

Interesting point about the length of the bus ride. In the 1975 Oregon intercity bus study, we discovered a useful rule of thumb: 100% of people are willing to ride 1 hour, 50% 2 hours, 25% 4 hours, 12 ½% 8 hours, etc. Of course, there are other factors.
