American Airlines Adds Pecan Lodge Barbecue to DFWNew York First Class

The tie-up marks a centennial-year push to showcase route-specific meals available only by preorder.

Overview

  • Preorders open on January 11 via aa.com and the American app for flights beginning February 11.
  • The February menu features a Pecan Lodge platter with smoked brisket and smoked sausage, creamy mac and cheese, coleslaw, and pickles, onions, and barbecue sauce.
  • In March the offering shifts to a chopped brisket sandwich on a brioche bun with roasted green beans, creamy potato salad, and pickles, onions, and barbecue sauce.
  • Availability is limited to first class on DFW departures to LaGuardia and JFK as a preorder-only item, with no service on the return flights.
  • American positions the partnership within its premium push that includes Lavazza coffee, Bollinger champagne, and free Wi‑Fi, and industry observers view it as a possible pilot for broader regional tie-ins.
