We are not sticklers about food, as long as it can be cut up and shared you get in to the show. We've had a group of four best friends gather together before the show to cook a four-course meal style extravaganzas and we've had broke college kids come with a 75 cent bag of Skittles. We popped it open and poured it into a cup to share.
If you want suggestions, main dishes are always super enjoyed. Bringing drinks also a bonus. (We always provide water.)
