three points,
(i) when china teams travel away from home, they bring cooks and even ingredients along with them, so as to have 'very extremely fast menu changes'
(ii) the enormous russian delegation in beijing booked an entire hotel, every room, for their multi-millionaires, officials and what not, along with the entire needed kitchen staff
(iii) the top-down decisions are favored when matters of consequence are decided, after investigation, study, focus group discussions, experimentation, and made once for quite sometime, enabling sustained implementation, but allowing for carefully considered mid-course adjustment, etc etc, and works well
so, comment, for the teams that brought no chef, and do not want to eat what has been carefully prepared for all, and does not wish to suffer impromptu mid-course adjustment that may be implemented badly by chefs unfamiliar with off-menu items for dozens or hundred, the teams screwed up, went cheap, are spoiled, and not true sportsmen |
