This may work if it is your usual fare, but doing that to yourself
during a weekend of steady, heavy work is a sure-fire method to acheive
feastcrat burnout. Not that everyone hasn't had their share of disasters
that had to be dealt with on the spot, but a little pre-planning (ok, a
LOT of pre-planning) goes a long way toward allowing breathing time,
several PLAN B's, and sometimes even a nap! (not often, but it CAN
happen!)
After all, how will we convince new people to cook feasts if all they
see are harried, bleary-eyed, and exhausted cooks?

who's pre-planning leans a great deal toward total delegation, these days
