Medium-rare filet mignon and whipped potatoes on Singapore Airlines (Brad A. Johnson)

I eat a lot of meals on airplanes, and while some airlines get worse and worse, others just keep getting better. The food on Cathay Pacific was always excellent this year (especially the duck noodle soup in the middle of the night). As were a couple of meals aboard Iberia, where the Spanish wine and cheese service was truly outstanding. But the best of the best for 2011 goes to… Singapore Airlines. It was like dining in a restaurant.
