How United Airlines teamed up with a small NYC condiments company for a gourmet treat

United Airlines' latest move to upgrade its domestic economy cabin in-flight catering has proved to be a big break for a small New York City-based condiments maker named Sir Kensington's. United has just introduced a Smoked Gouda Cheeseburger in the economy cabin on domestic flights longer than 3.5 hours, as well as select flights to Canada. Priced at US$9.99, each burger is served with packets of 3 condiments — ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise — from Sir Kensington's, marking the company's first foray into the airline business since it began some 7 years ago. The new tie-in with United also comes just months after Sir Kensington's was acquired by food and consumer products behemoth Unilever in April. United took great pains to ensure the new burger would be a desirable culinary addition on board. <br/>
