Narrative:
Aircraft double catered out of dfw the day before flight at approximately XA00. Our departure flight out of mdw scheduled at XA30. Food over-nighted on hot aircraft, no ice on food. Ice would have been long gone before departure if ice was on board. Milk, yogurt hot. Double catering should never occur when the second leg is the next day!
