We’re conditioned to keep our standards in check when flying, particularly as meals are reheated above the clouds, but sometimes airlines surprise us with high-quality meals.
Gate Gourmet operates huge facilities near airports, like a 132,000 square-foot kitchen in D.C., where chefs craft travel-friendly meals from scratch within 24 hours.
Serving safe food at altitude is challenging for Gate Gourmet, which must adhere to strict protocols while managing the complexities of heating, cooling, and transport.
Despite being associated with mediocre quality, some airline meals, especially those prepared by Gate Gourmet, can deliver surprisingly high-quality culinary experiences for travelers.
