Maybe instead of little notes to accompany each dish, we should, after the meal, have each of us food contributors state why the dish or dishes we brought are “just."</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Should we show the Michael Pollan “Food Rules” video?

Anything else we need to think about to make sure this meal is satisfying, both gastronomically and inspirationally?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">One item of protocol, if I may: We GSC members should be last to eat.
