First-class passengers on Delta Air Lines leaving Seattle are in for some tasty treats, thanks to new in-flight first-class menus available for certain flights leaving Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Craft food and beverage options will include picks from local suppliers, including vendors at Pike Place Market. The new menus were rolled out last month on flights from Seattle to Los Angeles and San Francisco. Delta will expand to other mainline lunch and dinner flights ranging from 1,500 to 9,000 miles. Local purveyors include Pike Place Chowder, The Pike Brewing Company’s XXXXX Stout Mustard, Uli’s Famous Sausage, Beecher’s Handmade Cheese, Le Panier Bakery and Pappardelle’s Pasta. Sample menu items include Pappardelle’s lavender fettuccine with Pike Place Fish Market’s wild Alaskan coho salmon and Northwest Seafood Seasoning; and Uli’s Famous German bratwurst and smoked bacon sausage with German potato salad and sauerkraut with sauteed apples. All menu pairings include Pike Place Chowder’s clam chowder, Le Panier Brioche and a Le Panier chocolate macaron with chocolate ganache. “Fresh, local and sustainable are core tenets of Pacific Northwest cuisine and Delta’s onboard food and beverage program, and that’s precisely the philosophy we follow with our new menus,” said Mike Medeiros, vice president – Seattle, Delta Air Lines, in a statement. “Our region’s most recognized purveyors shine in these thoughtfully crafted menus, giving Delta customers from around the world a taste of Seattle, whether they’re destined for Sea-Tac or just passing through.”
