I aggree with the above post, however, i am familar with cooking at functions. We mainly do it at softball tourneys my team plays in, lil festivals in parking lots and one sunday a month at church. We do 5 dollars a plate. ill butcher the names if i try and write em out in spanish, but we do empanadas, platinos, tostones, penin y aroz con dules, pollo, bisteca, pinchos, and a few other things here and there. Again, im sorry if i butchered anything, just spelling it how it sounds to me

I can cook it, and love eating it, but hell if i can spell it... i cant even spell properly in english

But back to the point i was trying to make. By having an outside guy show up and cook food for the meet, makes it seem more commercialized. If you have a huge group that gets together then its feasible to have someone cook while everyone is mingling, but our rotary meet only nets 10 - 20 rotaries and a few random other cars... We do burgers and such cuz its cheap and easy and thats about all we can get members to bring with em. now stuff like rotor fest, they had vendors and it was nice, but it was a diff atmosphere. Every group will be different, so i suggest dealing with every meet/group/club/team as a new venture, and as with all business never expect it to be like anything else youve done before.

BTW, hope it works out for you guys, theres definitely potential there!
