• I’ve attended a number of conferences that have been dangerous, however nothing beats the time the group was served hen on a mattress of lettuce. The vegetarian choice was simply the lettuce.

• Worst convention food I ever needed to take care of was the convention that didn’t take into consideration the necessity to accommodate these that may’t eat seafood. Three day convention, lunch and dinner offered and each single meal was shellfish of some selection. No vegetarian choices, no shellfish free choices (although with the portions of shellfish they have been prepping I wouldn’t have trusted the kitchen anyhow) – simply scallops, crab, shrimp, crawfish, lobster so far as the attention may see. I needed to depart for each single meal due to a lack of food.

Nope! The subsequent day’s snack was espresso and tea. No food, and no indication that it could be totally different.
