"Barbecue is sacred in Texas, where joints large and small attract enthusiasts from around the world, all eager to sample delectable meats, even if it means waiting in line for hours. Starting next month, American Airlines passengers can enjoy one of the state's most famous barbecue spots at cruising altitude. As part of a new initiative to incorporate regional flavors on in-flight menus, American has partnered with Pecan Lodge to bring Texas barbecue to select flights between Dallas and New York."
"Starting in February, passengers in first class on flights from DFW to LaGuardia and JFK International Airport can enjoy a flavor-packed platter featuring brisket, smoked sausage, mac and cheese and coleslaw, plus a side of pickles, onions and Pecan Lodge's famous barbecue sauce. It's a classic barbecue platter that will keep the Texas vacation going a little longer. In March, the menu will include a smoked chopped brisket sandwich on a brioche bun, paired with roasted green beans, potato salad and the standard sides."
"As we celebrate American's centennial anniversary in 2026, we're looking forward to delighting our customers in new ways that honor unique regional tastes, beginning right here in our home state through one of the most beloved barbecue restaurants in Texas,"
"Our customers deserve nothing but the best, and Pecan Lodge is certainly that."
