A reporter for the The Daily Caller recently got the opportunity to fly aboard Air Force One and while she doesn’t consider herself a foodie, one thing became clear quickly: the meals onboard look pretty tasty.
Reagan Reese set out to evaluate the experience with a critical eye during a two-day trip with Donald Trump to Las Vegas and Phoenix and it’s cool to get a glimpse into what is served in flight on board the presidential aircraft.
The first meal featured beef ragu, a fresh roll, spring salad, key lime pie, and a Diet Coke. The ragu was described as “hearty and generous” while the salad offered a refreshing contrast with crisp greens and a tangy dressing.
Dessert, however, faced tough competition. A previous Air Force One fruit tart had set a high bar for her, and while the key lime pie was solid, she said it lacked the bold tartness needed to truly stand out. The whipped cream, though, was a highlight.
On the shorter flight between Las Vegas and Phoenix, service was simplified. Passengers were greeted with a pre-packed meal: an Italian sub, kettle chips, a chocolate chip cookie, and another Diet Coke.
The sandwich, served on an asiago bagel was filling but slightly dense. The chips were said to be good and the cookie was a standout for her.
The final meal featured lobster salad, a croissant, chocolate cake, and, once again, a Diet Coke. Despite not being a seafood enthusiast, the reporter found the lobster dish surprisingly enjoyable with tender pieces served over fresh greens.
She found the warm croissant to be pretty perfect, while the chocolate cake was light, mousse-like, and layered with a cookie-style base.
Anthony’s Take: While most airline food often gets a bad reputation, Air Force One clearly operates on a different level. It may not all be perfect, but it looks better than what’s being served on most US carriers.
