Measure to Expand To Two Feast Fest Meals on Thanksgiving Pigeonholed by Executive Board

-Marina del Rey, Ca.
-The ten-member Executive Board, the highest legislative body of Feast Fest, pigeonholed Monday a measure that would have set up two Feast Fest Thanksgiving Meals on Thanksgiving starting as early as 2013.

Chief Executive William H.K. Vanderbilt and Vice Executives Arthur Ayeiy and Robert Smallston claimed that the proposal was "too logistically difficult" and that there is no way "to create a logistical, proper, two-meal setup with allowal of continual full quality of the event without serving a Thanksgiving meal on a separate day," something execs wish to avoid for "logistical and traditional purposes."

Upon hearing the news of the pigeonhole Monday, which came via a 10-0 vote of dissention, the lower legislative body of Feast Fest, the 50-member Feast Fest Event Organization Senate, immediately set about a proposal that would place a second meal on either neighboring Wednesday or Friday. Ayeiy commented that such a measure, if it were to reach the upper echelons of event management, would likely be buried as well.

"This is a one meal event," he stated. "If we are interested in expanding the number of customers we can handle, we should focus on trying to expand its capacity rather than its number of meals."

Although the Feast Fest chefs have no real management power, the Executive Board is considered "the voice of the chefs" and thus they put the matter to a vote among chefs to gauge their opinion. FF chefs disapproved of the proposal by numbers of 54-7, and when surveyed disapproved the potential for adding a second meal on a different day by a margin of 52-9. The only major chef who agreed was Lisa Choi, who said she could "see the major positives that the proposal brings to the table."

It should be noted that "pigeonholing" in Feast Fest parlance abandons the more precise definition of a proposal never even being considered and expands to include those that are not considered and those that are but which are voted against overwhelmingly.
