Wow…this is almost making it sound like tpgsr failed. Just sounds a bit bad to me. I thought tpgsr did a great job, but could have done better, if he had more hands helping out.
Maybe next time, bring the food inside to the meeting lounge, load up the plates there, so the food stays hot…then go outside and eat it wherever you like. By the time i got to the food from waiting in line, I was eating cold lasagna and potatoes. Just a thought for next time!
