Wolfgang Puck Express, Terminal 7, LAX Los Angeles USA

Ordered at Wolfgang Puck Express in Terminal 7, United's Terminal, at LAX Airport in Los Angeles, California.

Early morning flight to Austin, Texas, for SXSW. Another year! I was quite anxious, hoping everything would go well this year. How could we beat last year’s numbers?

Not hungry due to the nervousness, I thought it would be wise to fill up on something during the 3.5 hour flight from Los Angeles to Austin, so I grabbed a club sandwich from Wolfgang Puck Express to enjoy and calm myself halfway through the flight.

I will start off with a spoiler: poor ratio lead to the downfall of this dish. Turkey was great but a little too chewy. Hints of diced bacon but honestly barely noticeable. Wolfgang’s club sandwich had just one dollop of avocado jardinière – a tease that left me wondering why such a small amount was used… a false promise of avocado, and poor use of a jardinière. Bread was nice. Liked the lettuce. Wish there was more tomato. Expensive for $14.

It was an ok meal that didn’t have a lot of flavor, because the bread muted the turkey and the other ingredients were barely there. Somehow the sandwich felt salty as well, which I didn’t like. A shining star were the baby greens. Honestly, to say this sandwich had avocado and bacon in it is criminal… I felt a little cheated. But I enjoyed the meal and it did the trick.

My senses were calmed and I set my focus on this afternoon and unpacking 6 pallets of URB-E gear. I was also nervous about doing so much having lifting having what felt like pulled shoulder muscles from a week of shingles, but I knew I’d survive.

As we landed I prayed for good luck and didn’t turn back!
