American Airlines takes the taste on board to the next level with Smash Kitchen | News

Customers onboard select American Airlines flights can now enjoy a new way to enhance their inflight dining experience as the airline partners with Smash Kitchen, the fast-growing, better-for-you food brand known for bold taste and real ingredients.

Co-founded in 2025 by Texas native and award-winning actor Glen Powell, Smash Kitchen has quickly built a reputation for organic spices and cooking oils that combine simple, clean ingredients with serious flavor. Powell’s energetic, down-to-earth Texas spirit has helped the brand gain a devoted following, making his on-air debut a natural fit for America and its Texas roots.

Passengers who order American’s favorite Classic American Sliders and Fries can now complement their meal with Smash Kitchen’s premium condiments, created to deliver great taste without the additives. These exclusive onboard offers are available to domestic First Class customers when pre-ordered via aa.com or American’s mobile app, and with the seasonal sandwich available for purchase in Main Cabin.

Smash Kitchen brings an energy and flavor profile that perfectly aligns with American’s commitment to providing customers with a more premium, more memorable inflight experience,” said Rhonda Crawford, American’s SVP of Customer Experience and Design Strategy. “We are excited to introduce these sauces on board and continue to grow the partnerships that reflect our commitment to delicious food at every stop of the traveler’s journey.”

This partnership is the latest in American’s commitment to enhance the inflight dining experience, joining Pecan Lodge on select flights, Champagne Bollinger on all international Flagship® flights and Lavazza coffee on board this spring. Together, these offerings highlight the airline’s focus on delivering a consistently premium and distinctly American experience.
