American Airlines sucks; EVA is awesome

Okay, so these are not NYC restaurants. However, this deserves to be published. Last month, I had a huge work trip to Asia. I bought tickets the day before. The first leg of the trip was in business class on AA, the second on EVA. Both legs were confirmed to have gluten-free meals, both in ticketing and at the gate when I had the agent check her computer.
Guess what?
No gluten-free meal on AA! For $1,500! No food!
And a flight attendant who, might I add, was rather condescending and nasty about the whole thing. Of course, this is why I always carry some protein bars. (I recommend these ones I like that noone else likes called Dr.'s CarbRite or something like that and also the Atkins S'mores bars.)
But this is not just a bitch-and-moan entry. I want to give a shout out to EVA airlines, as their gluten-free selection was VERY good! And they even give you Haagen Daaz. What's not to love?
