American Airlines To Serve 5 New Dishes Designed By Zoë's Kitchen
American Airlines is adding five Mediterranean-style munchies to its in-flight menu, all of which were designed by Antonio Iocchi, the head chef of Zoë's Kitchen. Customers flying in the main cabin will soon have access to lighter and healthier options on board, including the chain's classic hummus and basil-pesto hummus served as a duo with pita bread, cucumber slices, and carrot sticks for dipping.
Here's what else to expect from American Airlines' collaboration with Zoë's Kitchen:
Breakfast Sandwich
Turkey bacon, egg slices, and tomato, and arugula on a waffle brioche bun with Calabrian pepper aioli.
Continental Breakfast Box
A Belgian waffle with hazelnut spread and fresh berries.
The Grüben
Sliced turkey, Manchego cheese, crunchy Mediterranean slaw, and feta spread on marble wheat bread, served with a chocolate chip cookie.
Chicken Wrap
Grilled chicken, mozzarella, roasted tomatoes, arugula, and artichokes in a wrap, served with a chocolate chip cookie.
