Airlines, which make more money on business class than on steerage, are competing for coach-weary passengers by offering such amenities as wider seats and more extensive menus. New giveaways include helicopter shuttles to airports and upgrades to first class...

"Some things are sauteed, some poached, some braised," says Jean-Michel Jeudy, vice president for food and beverage. "We do not teach different recipes but different techniques." The accent is equally Gallic at L'Ecole, the aptly named restaurant of the French Culinary Institute in New York City's SoHo district. A recent $18 prix fixe lunch began with a light Roquefort souffle, which was followed by a moist salmon fillet in chervil sauce...
