All the local groceries have been checked, all Trader Joes in San Diego
have been called, as was Whole Foods, as was Henry's market. I don't think
we have a Bristol Farms in any of the areas that the cook scavengers
regularly use.

I've had to order from an internet grocer on the east coast, and while the
price they had was quite nice, they can't deliver til Friday.

Well, that's not quite possible at the moment, and we serve on Saturday.
Let's hope the head cook's nerves hold out.

Thank you though!!
