Flying Hoity-Toity

First class really is the only way to fly - especially when traveling overseas. But the food, at times, can be a bit pretentious. Give me a burger and fries any day (even macaroni and cheese) over braised veal cheeks with Tahiti vanilla. So of course, yesterday on our flight from Frankfurt to Chicago in First Class on Lufthansa, I wasn't too excited about the "Hoity-Toity" menu (other services "yes," the menu "no"). Take a look below at our dinner menu.
