Rudy,
I don't like "banquet" food but I go to the awards banquet to support the
club and honor the recepeants.

I think we need to change the food, but whatever is decided I will be
there.

I did not know you are a food professional.  I have spent 40 yrs in food and 
beverage aitomation controls.  But my hobby is cooking and smoking beef.  I 
dont let my wife (KG5VPB...General Class) in the kitchen.  Its not that she 
cannot cook...its just that cooking is my fun.  
I smoke Briskets for 12 hours, and rest for 8 hrs wrapped in towels and left in 
an ice cooler (no ice of course).  Comes out so juicy and tender, you dont need 
a knife.  I wrote an article on how to do it.  Would like to send it to you.  
Its quite detailed.  I learned under BBQ Pitmasters head judge Myron Mixon at

Re: [BVARC] banquet overpriced? NO!

[Mike Lambert via BVARC]

Hi Mike,

No offense taken. We all have different experiences.
You describe some particularly bad banquet fares. I wouldn't want to go to 
those either!

Last month I went to another radio club resturant get together.
But, as usual in a resturant setting, by the time you get your food, its cold.
The way it works for large groups in a resturant, its just too many meals to be 
all delivered hot while the cooks see to your group AND also see to the rest of 
the resturant patrons.
Its just the nature of the beast...

Last Dec 15th (a Friday night) I went to a banquet.
Attire was from Tuxedo down to Suit, white shirt and tie.
Professional caterers know how to do it right.
The food was excellent!!  Multiple courses were served.
Servers in formal uniforms served each table of 8 directly from the caterer 
chef.
Hot and delicious.
After dinner we were served desert and hot coffee, and then the awards were 
given.
It was a banquet, not just dinner. A very nice evening indeed!

Being special is what a banquet is. Otherwise its just lunch.  (my opinion)

Lastly, Mike N5VCX,
Just My Opinion,
a banquet is on Saturday evening, not a weekday after work (and at rush hour).

Have a good day,
Mike KI5MIK

I say let's go to a restaurant, pay for our own food and get what we like.

The awards are an honor but not a coronation.

If I have offended anyone I am sorry, but I had to offer my opinion.

Mike, I have been in the high-end culinary world for 30 years and completely 
disagree with your feedback. We can serve juicy chicken. Remember you get what 
you pay. When you paid $35 only 25% are the cost of food , siu when you have 
$8.50 to buy product don’t expect to buy high end products.

 Last year there were meals last year at the banquet. I had planned on 60 meals 
this year but only 37 meals were purchased.

[anthony moro via BVARC]

So after lots of looking at the past banquets all I have to say is WOW.
What happened to that type of Award Banquet? I don't see why y'all don't do
something like this? Another one of the great things the club used to do
but wont do again. Check out this link and look at the past banquet Pics.

Tidelands had our Dec/Christmas at Golden Corral in Galveston, something
for everybody, pay individually so it removes the collectoin hassle as
well.

[BVARC] Banquet

[Mike Knerr via BVARC]

I looked at Cleaborn Cafeteria's menu and it seems to have anything one
would want to eat (even broccoli).
They have private room that will seat 40 people.
I can't remember how many were at the last banquet.

Just thought I'd put in my 2 cents.

Re: [BVARC] banquet overpriced?

[Chris Medlin via BVARC]

My comment about Golden Coral was meant to be tongue in cheek and not a serious 
location idea.

Its also my understanding that there is a sizable new population of club 
members over the last year or so (me included due to geographic relocation). 
And with the possibility that some of the older/aging population not being able 
to get out at night, maybe the lower turn out may be from lack of knowledge of 
the event from a core of the membership population who havent been to one of 
the banquets before.
Maybe there was a write up that I missed, and if so, apologies in advance for 
my ignorance. But if not, maybe overall assumptions are there because its an 
annual event that everyone knows about. What is the banquet, what is the dress, 
what can one expect to see there? Are there options for people who want to 
attend but are not eating? How long does it run into the night? For those 
planning to eat, what is the full menu items? And back to the aging members, 
Are there options for people with dietary restrictions?

Maybe these type of things in a FAQ would be helpful to socialize the event and 
make sure that all members are on the same page.

Just dropping my $0.02 of helpful feedback.

 I totally agree with your thoughts on this Philippe. This was the originally 
idea for the awards banquet when it was started.

If the banquet is a distinctive occasion meant for acknowledging individuals, 
it's imperative that we choose an elegant venue with excellent cuisine, 
steering clear of a casual gathering at the local cafeteria. The lack of 
enthusiasm from attendees might stem from reasons beyond those who are either 
out of town or unable to drive.

BVARC is transitioning to prioritize catering for events, consistently 
encountering concerns related to the quality of food, particularly during 
meetings or special occasions. Labeling an event as an "Annual Banquet" should 
inherently hold a sense of uniqueness and significance.

If cost is a primary consideration, it is suggested to organize informal 
gatherings for cost-effective dining experiences with friends at the local 
cafeteria. Given the substantial financial investments made in Ham Radio 
equipment, it's perplexing to fret over a mere $35 annual expenditure for 
special events.

Re: [BVARC] banquet oVeRpRiCeD?

[Mike Hardwick via BVARC]

 Actually the pricing was set-up several years ago to make Banquet 
self-supporting and that is how is has been for the last several years. 
As for the past venues, let me bring up some of the issues that people said 
about those top venues
Maggianos - Crowded, food delivered cold, wrong orders, food taking too long to 
bring out to the table, expensive, not the best for the price to name a few. 
The JW Marriott (this was one of the best places, it is a great place to a hold 
banquet) - portions were small for the price, space was limited, 
With the comments about having the Awards Banquet, it seems like more people 
would be happy with something as local cafe or cafeteria. This is something 
that I do not connect to a banquet.

Re: [BVARC] banquet overpriced?

[K5BOU via BVARC]

If the banquet is a distinctive occasion meant for acknowledging individuals, 
it's imperative that we choose an elegant venue with excellent cuisine, 
steering clear of a casual gathering at the local cafeteria. The lack of 
enthusiasm from attendees might stem from reasons beyond those who are either 
out of town or unable to drive.

BVARC is transitioning to prioritize catering for events, consistently 
encountering concerns related to the quality of food, particularly during 
meetings or special occasions. Labeling an event as an "Annual Banquet" should 
inherently hold a sense of uniqueness and significance.

If cost is a primary consideration, it is suggested to organize informal 
gatherings for cost-effective dining experiences with friends at the local 
cafeteria. Given the substantial financial investments made in Ham Radio 
equipment, it's perplexing to fret over a mere $35 annual expenditure for 
special events.

Re: [BVARC] banquet overpriced?

[Mike Hardwick via BVARC]

 It is a great place for a meal but the Rosenberg location has been known for a 
not very clean facility.
I checked for another location and the South Loop is currently closed. 
I will put it down on the list though.
Thanks for the input.

I got my lunch at Cleburne Cafeteria. I was not able to finish the meal. It's 
enough to feed two. That's what I think a banquet should look like if we are 
going to give $35 for members and $50 for non members to eat.

   - Compounds to reduce cancer risk. “Broccoli offers some powerful molecules

cancer cells.”
   - Nutrients to help manage blood sugar. Both human and lab studies suggest 
compounds in broccoli may help lower blood sugar in people with Type 2 diabetes.
   - Ligands to protect your gut. In a nonhuman study, researchers found that 
broccoli can help protect the lining of your small intestine. Compounds found

   - Vitamin C to boost immunity. Vitamin C is well-studied as an
