I think it depends on how busy the kitchen is and how the request is handled. When I was
told that during the time I was prepping and serving dayboard for 800 people, the site
committee would be cooking food for sale in the kitchen AND some other local group's
fundraising crew would be baking brownies in there (so people would smell the nice
chocolate and be inspired to buy some...), there was definitely animosity! I went out and
got some tubs and a length of hose for washing things like grapes and so forth outside on
the grass.
