PaxEx: United Serves Up New Menus From World's Leading Chefs

United will serve up a new era of inflight dining on August 1 with the debut of new chef-curated meals from its collaboration with Chef's Table, the brand behind the Emmy award-winning Netflix series.

United Polaris® international business class travelers flying on select long-haul routes will enjoy thoughtfully crafted, multi-course menus designed by 11 different globally recognized chefs from four continents, including culinary icons like Chef Nancy Silverton (Los Angeles), Chef Jenner Tomaska (Chicago), Chef Tomos Parry (London) and more.

The collaboration also includes exclusive, original branded content for United's inflight entertainment that shows how the airline and world-renowned chefs produced the menus and meals.

This collection of dishes spans global influences, from seasonal California cooking and modern American fine dining to contemporary European technique and bold interpretations of Asian and Latin American cuisine. Each chef-curated meal experience features an appetizer, salad and entrée, reflecting the culinary identity of the chef's home city.

These menus will be served onboard starting August 1 through September 2026, with a new lineup of dishes from these 11 chefs set to launch in October and rotate seasonally into 2027.

Connecting cuisine to place, each chef's meal experience will be offered on flights serving lunch or dinner, departing from the chef's home city that inspired the recipes. United Polaris international business class travellers will be able to exclusively pre-order meals curated by Chef's Table chefs on United.com or in the United app.

Customers can view and select Chef's Table meals through pre-order starting five days before departure and up to 24 hours prior to departure, giving them a flexible window to explore the menu and choose their preferred meal ahead of their flight.
