Food at CON.TXT!

[gblvr]

Tip for con-goers: it is very important to remember to eat during the con!

To that end, here is what we'll have for you and what we recommend you find for yourselves over the course of the weekend.

BREAKFAST
A hot breakfast buffet will be available Friday through Sunday in the con space from 8 am to 10 am.

BOX LUNCHES
We'll be placing a group order of box lunches each day (Friday through Sunday) from Jimmy Johns, which is just around the corner from the con hotel. You'll have a choice of 7 different subs (ham, roast beef, tuna, turkey, Italian, veggie, or BLT) on your choice of bread or lettuce wrap, with a pickle spear and a choice of chips and choice of cookie. (JJ's has a lot of other options, and of course you are welcome to place an order yourself and pick it up or have it delivered to the hotel.)

If you want to join in our group order, you'll need to fill out our handy form and turn it in, along with $10 in cash, by 10 am each day. We'll take orders on Friday at the registration table and on Saturday and Sunday at the Orphan Marketplace table. Sandwiches will be delivered at 1 pm (we'll give you a slip when you order telling you when and where so you won't forget).

DISCO DUCK SNACKS
We will also have nibbles for you at Disco Duck on Friday evening, which will be tasty but which should probably not be your entire dinner (especially if you will be drinking from the cash bar!). The spread won't include much in the way of desserts due to the hotel's limited offerings, so chocoholics may want to seek out a fix beforehand!

DINNERS OUT
For dinners and other meals you'd like to acquire outside the con, you have a number of options including the hotel restaurant, delivery orders, grocery stores, and a plethora of other local restaurants. For information about the local options, please look through our Neighborhood Guide.

Will there be vegan options at the breakfasts or at Disco Duck? Would it be possible to get soy milk for my tea in the morning? If the answers are no that's totally fine, but I'd love to know in advance. Thanks!

We've requested the ingredients list from the hotel and we will let you know!

[axiom_of_stripe]

Here's the menu which the hotel has given us:
Scrambled eggs
Bacon
Sausage
Buttermilk pancakes
French toast
Rustic potatoes
Assorted muffins/Danish/bagels
Preserves, butter
Sliced fruit
Yogurt
Juice/coffee/tea

We've asked about soy milk and a full ingredients list but we may not get any answers until the time of the con itself, so I'm afraid you may have to plan for other vegan options.

Thanks for checking! The Starbucks in the lobby will make breakfast very easy, anyway. I love the fact that there are so many food options near the hotel in general.

One week! Yay! Hope y'all aren't too stressed out.

Will there be snacks available in the consuite every day as in previous years, or are we now responsible for our own mid-afternoon snacks?

[gblvr]

There will be snacks in the consweet; expect to find the usual fruit, fizzy drinks and other goodies we've had in past years.

The Neighborhood Guide link doesn't work, there's a %22 at the end of the URL.

[gblvr]

Try it now? (I'd forgotten the opening quote on the link... D'oh!)

Thanks for the info! Would there be any kind of prepackaged stuff in the breakfast, like those individual cereal things? :)

[axiom_of_stripe]

No cereal, no, but there will be pastries and bagels which would be easy to pick up and carry around if that's what you're looking for.

Here's the menu we've been given:
Scrambled eggs
Bacon
Sausage
Buttermilk pancakes
French toast
Rustic potatoes
Assorted muffins/Danish/bagels
Preserves, butter
Sliced fruit
Yogurt
Juice/coffee/tea

Thanks. I was looking for something that might be kosher. I'll plan breakfast into my food plan, then. :)
