Private jet menu for Manistee

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Manistee departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenUnited States

To start
Lake Michigan Whitefish Rillettes
House-cured whitefish blended with crème fraîche and dill, pressed into a ceramic pot and served with rye crisps and pickled cherry relish from northern Michigan orchards.
Cold main
Smoked Whitefish and Grain Salad
Warm farro and wild rice tossed with flaked smoked whitefish, shaved fennel, cucumber ribbons and a light cider-vinegar dressing. Portioned in a sealed travel tin for easy service at altitude.
Hot main
Braised Short Rib with Root Vegetable Purée
Twelve-hour bone-in short rib, finished with a reduced beef and thyme jus, plated over celeriac and parsnip purée with roasted heritage carrots. Holds texture and moisture through cruise.
Hot main
Wild Mushroom and Aged Cheddar Tartlet
A short-crust shell filled with sautéed morel and cremini mushrooms, sharp Midwestern cheddar and a hint of fresh thyme. Baked to order and sealed for galley reheating.
Morning
Cherry and Almond Morning Loaf
A dense, lightly sweetened loaf studded with dried Montmorency cherries from the northern Michigan belt and toasted flaked almonds, sliced and wrapped for individual service.
To finish
Dark Chocolate and Sour Cherry Tart
A crisp cocoa-pastry shell holding a bittersweet ganache layer over a thin sour-cherry compote, finished with a dusting of cocoa. Chilled and travel-set for neat portioning in the cabin.

Inflight Catering · Manistee

Private aviation catering at MBL

Manistee sits on the eastern edge of Lake Michigan, a working harbour town backed by forests and dune country that define the northern Lower Peninsula's character. The region's short-season larder — lake perch, locally smoked whitefish, cherry orchards and wild morel mushrooms — shapes every menu we compose for departures out of KMBL. Traverse City lies roughly 74 kilometres to the north-east, and its broader food corridor — stone-fruit farms, artisan creameries, small-batch preserves — is well within reach for same-day sourcing runs. That proximity lets our kitchen team build genuinely regional boards rather than generic airport fare, which is exactly what passengers aboard a private departure expect.

Regional Catering Menu · Manistee

Manistee inflight catering

Lake Michigan whitefish holds a firm, clean flavour that travels exceptionally well at altitude, and it anchors several of our most-requested cold presentations — house-cured with dill and caper cream, or flaked through a light grain salad with pickled cucumber. Alongside it, the cherry country around the northern Michigan lakeshore supplies fruit, vinegars and preserves that run through our dressings and pastry work whenever seasonally available. For warmer courses we draw on Midwestern farmhouse tradition: slow-braised short rib with root-vegetable purée, or a wild mushroom and aged-cheddar tartlet that holds its structure through climb and cruise. Kosher menus are available on 24 hours' notice; every other order can be confirmed within ten minutes, any hour of the day.
