I kind of wish we used Seamless which lets you pick whatever you want (though you still have to go downstairs and fetch it yourself)...I know a lot of people in NYC who use it and just get to order from anywhere they feel like.

Yeah, I was just going to say that ethnic food is probably your best bet for cheap, good eats. Too bad some of your co-workers don't like ethnic food. Generalization here, but most people I've met who don't like ethnic food tend to be very uptight individuals.

I bet you haven't even told your employees that they have said benefit available

In the but-for world, if this client didn't have an urgent crisis, I wouldn't have done any work, would have had steaks and sausage that my friend purchased for lunch, and probably either eaten dinner with those friends or with my girlfriend.
Since their urgent needs prevented all of that from occuring, it's not too much to ask them to pay for some food
(especially since what's $20 on top of the thousands of dollars of labor they are already being billed for)
