What is this I hear about....

Concerning food at nats..I guess I'm one of the few people who really didn't eat the whole weekend. I would always be busy around lunch and would usually just skip it. Breakfast was always something at the hotel and dinner around 10 at night was something light. Oh well. I survived...but I do remember the food being good but expensive at previous nationals. Food at the KSC Regional was great..gotta love "Space Pizza"

At VCU they tried something new this year. Each team could pre-order bag lunches. My opinion of the idea was varied. It was REALLY nice as a driver not having to wait in line for food (and being able to set it off to the side for later) but the quality/price weren't all that great. If I remember correctly, they were sandwiches with plain chips with some oreos on the side. I'd say the whole thing overall was a noble effort, but could use a lot of work. All imho.

...I remember food at FIRST is awesome.

At the Women in Science & Technology Careers forum, they fed us real well. They have this great place near that caters using bag lunches.

They did that for all the volunteers at Kickoff on Friday, too. Saturday, though, was done by another bag lunch caterer, and it wasnt bad.

But nothing beats that place in Manchester that catered those 2 times. Anyone know the name of that company?

What we did at nats. was we had a few choices for sandwich, snack, & drink. A few of the parents that came with us made them, and we sat outside in the shade. The only thing I brought at nats. were those frozen drinks.

And then there was the epcot food...

Yeah, $10 for pizza, coke and a bag of chips. It wasn't that good either

oohh, the team party food. I thought it was really good. Especially after you haven't eaten a single meal ALL day.

[EddieMcD]

My thought's exactly.

My team did that at regionals...mainly b/c we had so many people who didn't stay the whole time, just came up for Saturday or whatever. We also had sodas in our pit that Momma Jones (long story on the nick) sold to us for something to another, which was nice. (BTW..Matt Leese..that soda sale is the reason I was able to bring you a cold Pepsi at nats) I wish we did something like that at nats. Then again, my team is usually too unorganized to do anything like that once we get to nats.
