Trader Vic's menu offered on some United flights

Advertiser Staff

United Airlines is teaming up with Trader Vic's to develop a menu for passengers in first and business class on flights between Hawai'i and Japan.

Main courses to be served beginning Jan. 9 will include items such as pan-seared lamb chops with Trader Vic's chutney, Miso-glazed halibut with sake lemon grass sauce and pan-seared filet mignon with bearnaise sauce. The meals will include an ice cream sundae for dessert.

"We're excited to partner with Trader Vic's once again to develop a memorable in-flight experience for our customers traveling to and from Hawaii," said Charlie Ahmes, United's vice president of Onboard Service. "Our customers' vacation begins once they set foot on a United flight, and being able to serve award-winning cuisine is an added complement to their overall travel experience."

Trader Vic's design chef Paul Fabre collaborated with United's Executive Chef Gerry Gulli on the menu, which was designed exclusively for United.
