Huh? The identity of the headcook isn't part of the event bids? 
Generally here when several bids are made to organize an event, the 
Event Steward is indicated as well as many members of the staff, 
including the headcook if there is to be a feast. The menu may not be 
decided upon until later, and generally doesn't go up for a populace 
vote anyway, but the reputation of the cook can have an impact on which 
event bid ends up being selected. This also allows someone doing an 
Italian themed event, to pick a headcook who is known for, or wants to 
do Italian, and for an English themed event, someone else.
