I don't know the answer.
OTOH, I have seen the same question.
At Metalsmith Symposium I, October 2002, Saturday afternoon
while doing prep for the feast, I saw someone taking not
one, but two 80 quart stock pots (the kind that would make
a cannibal jealous) out to her car.
As head cook, I was more than a little curious about this.
I found out that she had been asked to bring them for the
use of the dayboard cook -- since nothing had been said
about the evening feast she was going to take them away!
-- without even asking if I could use them -- didn't
understand why I was ... 'surprised' --- even when I asked,
she wasn't going to leave them for me to use.
Unbidden, Olaf appeared and assured her that it would be OK.
I realize now that event Autocrats must be possessed of
detachable eyes and/or ears that allow them to oversee
the entire event at all times.
