Hot Lunch On Set

In my last couple of jobs, I've been more of a house, not a field slave. However, it's always fun to visit the set to see how the other half lives. One thing I've been fascinated with is their lunch set up. In the production and art departments we generally have a ten dollar (or so) limit and we order something in the neighborhood for delivery. Meanwhile, the shooting crew will sometimes get a walk away lunch where they can get a slice of pizza somewhere close if they are shooting in the city. More often, to keep costs and schedules in check, a catering company prepares the crew a hot lunch. One time "The Departed" payroll accountant Linda Toon brought us steaks from set. Another time on that show I went to the set at Maritime College in the Bronx and everyone was eating crab legs! They were sort of dry, but the melted butter fixed that problem. On this movie, the catering spread is quite impressive. Take a look.
