Glad to hear they are stocking them again! They are my wife’s and my favorite!Mussels were available for lunch on the southbound Silver Meteor today. My tablemate photographed his lunch. Maybe he will post.

Whats with the current fad of taking pictures of your meal and posting them on line?

I wonder that too. I never find a picture of food appetizing. Not in the least.
I don't know if its because my other senses aren't be satisfied with only a 2D picture. By that I mean, its the lack of any food smells, and possibly the lack of any food sounds (the sizzling?) which make it just one big bla.
Sorry to disappoint those who don't want to see photos of food. Here is a photo of my lunch with my tablemate's mussels in the background.

Not opposed to Special occasion pics such as in a Diner or Special place Penny!
I'm talking about pics from Fast food joints, all 3 meals a day @ home etc.
But then I don't "follow" anyone else's life on line, just an old Luddite I guess!
I like the signature steak a lot.. but nobody ever really signs it.
I've traveled on the Meteor quite a bit over the last five years and never saw mussels on the menu. Is this something new? Did have the crab cakes once however and they were good.

Did your grandfather or father ever buy postcards and send them in the mail? It's literally the same thing with new technology.
I remember my mom buying a postcard from a restaurant in Seattle WA after we rode the Empire Builder when I was a kid. Pretty sure I still have it somewhere.

. Mussels have been on the Lunch Menu since the Fall 2017 menu change.

That's a good one!
Obviously they have been restored due to all the complaints on AU.....Glad to hear they are stocking them again! They are my wife’s and my favorite!Mussels were available for lunch on the southbound Silver Meteor today. My tablemate photographed his lunch. Maybe he will post.

I've personally had someone from Amtrak reach out to me about something I said on AU. I suppose it could have been a setup but I'm a fairly devout cynic and it seemed reasonably plausible to me. That's not to say that AU is the reason the mussels returned, but if AU receives this much complaining about the lack of mussels it stands to reason the on board staff is constantly hearing about it as well. Aramark isn't the sort of company I'd call proactive but if you complain loudly enough on the next conference call you'll probably get some traction. I mean it's either that or Amtrak just doesn't give a damn about anyone anywhere. AU may seem unique and isolated to us but in reality it's just a hyperspace microcosm of people who typically ride Amtrak.Obviously they have been restored due to all the complaints on AU.....Glad to hear they are stocking them again!
