American Airlines is elevating the in-flight dining experience with the help of one of the hottest actors on the planet right now. The Fort Worth-based airline is now serving Smash Kitchen condiments, co-founded by Glen Powell.<\/p>\n
The Texas native, Austin resident, and star of hit films like Top Gun: Maverick<\/a>, Twisters<\/a>, and Hit Man<\/a>, launched Smash Kitchen with partners Sameer Mehta and Sean Kane in 2025 as a better-for-you brand.<\/p>\n According to Food & Wine<\/a>, the condiments are made with organic and non-GMO ingredients, without unnecessary and artificial additives. The brand launched with eight products, including yellow and Dijon mustards; classic and hot-honey ketchups; American-style and hot-honey barbecue sauces; and regular and spicy mayonnaise.<\/p>\n Hot and spicy is a theme.<\/p>\n “Powell\u2019s energetic, down-to-earth Texas spirit has helped the brand gain a devoted following, making its debut in the skies a natural fit for American and its Texas roots,” says a release from American Airlines.<\/p>\n Passengers who order Classic American Sliders and Fries – which AA calls a “fan favorite,” – will now be able to slather on or dip into Smash Kitchen condiments. They’re available for domestic First Class customers when preordered through aa.com or American\u2019s mobile app, and with the seasonal sandwich available for purchase in Main Cabin, the airline says.<\/p>\n Not mentioned: Whether Glen Powell movies are part of the in-flight entertainment lineup. One hopes American doesn’t miss that opportunity for brand tie-in.<\/p>\n “Smash Kitchen brings an energy and flavor profile that aligns perfectly with American\u2019s commitment to offering customers a more premium, more memorable inflight experience,\u201d says American\u2019s SVP of customer experience and design strategy Rhonda Crawford in the release. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to introduce these sauces on board and continue growing partnerships that reflect our dedication to great food at every stop of the traveler\u2019s journey.\u201d<\/p>\n The Smash Kitchen partnership is the latest in American’s commitment to improving its customer experience. Other recent new menu additions include Dallas’ acclaimed Pecan Lodge BBQ<\/a>, Champagne Bollinger and Lavazza coffee, both in lounges and in flight.<\/p>\n For those staying grounded, Powell’s Smash Kitchen products – which also include potato chips and cooking oils – can be purchased through the website<\/a> and at Wal-Mart<\/a> stores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"American Airlines is elevating the in-flight dining experience with the help of one of the hottest actors on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":200307,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[1070,116,118,117,4554,423],"class_list":{"0":"post-200306","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-desserts","9":"tag-fort-worth","10":"tag-fort-worth-headlines","11":"tag-fort-worth-news","12":"tag-ice-cream","13":"tag-openings"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=200306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200306\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/200307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=200306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=200306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=200306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
