Comfort food was served from industrial-size carts, and included peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, fried baloney, strips of bacon and deviled eggs from Jewell Events Catering. Guests enjoyed beef stew served from conveyor belts, chili ladled out of garbage cans and hors d'oeuvres strung on chain-link fences. Paninis were flattened on ironing boards, and whole pigs turned on spits. After dinner, attendees were escorted downstairs for a performance by indie pop group Fitz and the Tantrums and a dessert reception.
