In my opinion I didn't think Jet was bashing, When I read it my thought was "hhhmmm- wonder what happened", after I read the third post I went back to read it again ,assuming I had misread it, nothing in the original post struck me as bashing? Again just my opinion.

Well Jetty, I was there just slightly before you, I did have a very nice Turkey wrap from Patrick's, and I heard rave revues from other about the sirloin that was served. And about the prices you claim were high, what exactly were the foods that were priced high?
The quality of the food was very good, numerous people I heard mentioned it was good. So maybe next year when you come up, there will be a ample supply of edible food for you enjoyment! I hope you win and eat well in Mass.

Top, what is up with the animosity and references to Mass? Jet posted his/her opinion on a forum.

I happen to love Patrick's, but it sounds like they are going through some shakedown issues.

Why do you say that part that is underlined, because one person on this thread has an issue???

Hi upthesauke,

You are absolutely right. I sent an email directly to Patrick's to articulate the issues of this past Saturday night. I will be quite interested in their response.

topwater - this is getting old...not sure why you want to argue the point, but here is the information.

I arrived at 5:30 pm and after getting my cards, I went to grab a bite to eat. The only choices at that time were as follows:

hot dogs - they did not have rolls at that time and were getting some (don't know why they can not count)
pulled pork pannini - this is what I had and it was awful - stale and lousy - $5.00 for the pleasure
chicken wings - these were dried out and the server tried to pour some sauce from the tray for a patron.

I spent a total of $15 for two sandwiches and two small drinks. In contrast, $15.90 would have bought two full turkey dinners previously when Harts was catering. So, this is expensive IMHO.

By the time the event was half over, Patrick's had closed down completely. You could not get a drink out of the case (grabbed some water from the vending machine). Previously, Harts would have had some decent desserts and been open pretty much for the entire time.

If you think that this was well planned and executed, you have an interesting idea of how this should be done. I know that a number of patrons complained because we talked to the volunteers handling tickets. The manager from Funspot was completely annoyed that someone would even bring this up. This guy probably should be in the back room rather than in front of customers.

OK, I did not want to get so down, dirty and detailed...but those be the facts matey.
