The Silver trains get many older people riding and decent food has always been an important part of a train journey. Sorry,but the food they are serving on a full two day and one night trip is not decent and is an insult to people paying $500 and a lot more for their trip.Flex dining was introduced in October 2019,before the pandemic. I really hope traditional dining returns to the Eastern trains. I am in the last hour of a trip on the Texas Eagle,starting Friday night. It's now Monday morning and I never want to eat a "flex" meal again.I still don't understand why people in sleepers can't substitute food from the cafe car. Why? Eating those sodium laded bland reheated meals is tough. The burrito lady was in El Paso. That was the best food I had on my journey. The Jersey Mikes sub I got in Chicago before boarding beat anything I ate on the train.Yes,what Amtrak is serving is substandard and the sooner flex dining is replaced,the better. Passengers paying sky high prices for sleepers deserve decent food.
