Imagine that your favorite large gaming convention or show has a five-stall food court within or nearby. Which dining selections would you like to see, by food type or popular chain? |

I suspect what we suggest and what would make a profit are very different. I would vote for McDonalds as they have a range of foods, good quality and vey cheap. This would allow gamers to get sustenance quickly and often. If I were going to suggest just what I like and make no concession to anyone else or commercial sensibleness then a soup kitchen with a selection of wholesome soups, lovely fresh breads, water and fruit. There. I'll get my coat…. martin

In the UK – bacon rolls. Nothing else needed :) The most ridiculous wargaming show food story I've encountered, at WMMS a few years back. The show opens at 1000, the cafe runs out of bacon for bacon rolls at 1005. Near mutiny before someone dashed to the cash & carry to restock |

Arby's Wendy's McDonald's Chick-fil-a Pizza That's breakfast and lunch. In the evening, I'll leave the facility in search of a chicken salad or a steak and potato. |

So, Valley Forge has a court. Dunkin Doughnuts, Pizza, noodle bar, flat top grill (burgers/dogs/cheesesteaks). This was fine for breakfast and lunch. Nothing was great, nothing was horrible. Just fuel. A real live example. |

As long they have burgers, hot dogs, pizza (slices or small pies), and salad, I'm good for the convention. |

Yeah, a food court at a convention would be very convenient. Especially when you have limited time between games and/or going through the dealer's hall. When more time is available, I like to go off-site to a better restaurant with friends. For the food court, my palate would find acceptable: 1)a grill for burgers, dogs, steak, sausage 2) pizza 3) Chinese inspired dishes 4) Mexican style or Chipotle 5) coffee, beer, water, and other adult beverages That would give me suitable variety for snacks or quick meals during a multi-day gaming convention |

@Rotundo In 2019 the sub place made a solid B+ steak sub, FWIW. The pizza place's cheese slice was a C, again, FWIW. No telling if either place is unchanged, FWIW. |

Hand carved beef and pork roast. Cafeteria line tacos and fajitas. Hot dogs that have been marinating in sauer kraut for about the last 6 weeks. Cold cut subs slathered with mayonnaise and sealed in cling wrap since Noah got off the boat. Hot pretzels and nachos covered in Velveeta. Wait, wait…I was having a flashback. But the ice cream wasn't bad. |

I am from Philadelphia. I would not eat that, let alone call it a cheesesteak. No need to call it a sub. We call it just a cheesesteak. |

A sub is a cold or hot sandwich served on a torpedo roll. Not a hoagie. |
