    Food at Quakecon

    Food (broken down into meals/snacks):

    Breakfast:
    There is a Denny's across the street from the Hilton (Opposite side away from the convention), and a whataburger just a short drive. While these are options, I suggest bringing food for in your room (more on this later).

    Lunch:
    Denny's, Whataburger, and Subway are the closest chain's I know of. There are other places around (not really in walking distance) but I have no experience with those places. You can also have pizza chains deliver to the hotel.

    Dinner:
    Generally for dinner, we try and get at least one group going out somewhere a little further away. The West End isn't too far
    and there are places there. Also, Denny's, Whataburger, pizza and Subway (warning, this subway closes very early, I think 7 or 8pm).

    Snacks:
    Go grocery shopping and bring snacks!

    Food to bring:
    I usually hit up the grochery store either the day before, or on my way (We went and stayed in line all night that year). I like to get poptarts (I eat a package for breakfast), and different snack foods, cheeze-it's, peanut butter crackers, ect. Also, I like to bring drinks, usually left in my room. You can bring drinks into the BYOC (NO GLASS) and even ice cheasts (NO ICE). If you want a supply of cold drinks in the BYOC, bring an ice cheast full of frozen water bottles and your drinks (NO OPEN BOOZE), so you have your drinks and also water. (I'm fairly certain this is fine, I know you can't have ice in ice cheasts, but I don't think ice chests alone are against the rules.)

    (X-post from the tips thread)

    While I wanted to give these tips here too, I really wanted to plan some dinner plans as a group, or brainstorm so places we might want to get groups to go to.

    Yes, it was. We should do that again, even if many of the family no longer wear the tags.

    Jakes for the first night!

    I prefer non chain restaurants. That steak house from a couple years ago was pretty good.
