A couple of food-related incidents over here. Failed to find references, so I'll have to go from memory.
1. SEA-LAX. Meals run out before captain gets his. Makes unscheduled landing at SFO (<1 hour from destination). Refuses to take off again until he's fed.
2. LAS-DTW(?). Captain's special meal not loaded. Prior to departure, captain leaves the a/c, takes a taxi downtown, enjoys a leisurely buffet, returns to airport 90 minutes later.
Imagine being in the right seat on either of those ! Both were fired IIRC.
