agreed, my father, brother, and sister are chefs. Personally enjoy cooking food too.
Lets just rent out a local church and use their commercial kitchen and make proper food for cheap.

I think the first two options are custom catered and delivered to one of the rooms used by the convention (if I had to guess). The last option is just to use one of the restaurants in the hotel that has seating for ~400ppl

listening to what?
if it was an option then it would be listed in the vote. it is not, so I can't really offer to help for something that won't happen. I still think "by anons for anons" would result in the most fantastic food.
The problem with catering for 500 people (or more) is the insane amount of prepwork. Some of that can be minimized with a good food source, but breading 150lbs of chicken and deepfrying all of it, and the rest of the process will take about 2 days with a team of people.

Not at all. This hotel is designed to service 1000s at a time, they're operating at scale, and either making ingredients in-house or buying them at cost. Probable cost of ingredients - all considered - is probably ~ $15 per head.
$75 in labor and shit? I'm not begrudging paying the people who make it happen, but thats a GLARING surplus that's NOT going to the horses. I get it, normalfags will be into it and not bat an eye at shit like that, but I'm calling shenanigens.

Anon, it's explicitly a charity event dinner.

The first year they did a spaghetti and chicken tender dinner because their contract with the Hotel required them to spend something like $5000 or so dollars on food and catering, because that was by far the cheapest way to book the venue. So they had a night where they served food, charged like $109 for the tickets, completely sold out the dinner, and then gave the money raised to the charity.

They charge $90 because it's to raise money for charity, and because the event will sell out regardless of how much they charge. The difference in price, I assume, is to reflect differences in overhead prices. I have no idea if this new contract requires them to buy catering, but I know that by this point it's a tradition.

Nono, re-read it. IT says previous years there HAS been an F&B minimum, but this year there ISN'T, it's a flat rate per head.
Which is where I draw umbrage from. It doesn't matter how many tickets are sold, Fallen Oak only gets $10-15 per head. Just because it's a "charity" dinner and "special occasion" is how the hotel can get away with that kind of shit.

Oh, I'm gonna be on about this for a while. I've been crunching the numbers. Here's the facts.
At scale, a real cost breakdown looks like:
Pasta: $0.40–$0.70 per person

Sauce (canned passata + aromatics): $1–2 per person tops

Breaded chicken: $2–3 per person, if you're being generous

Bread: Pennies, unless they’re gilding it with saffron (they’re not)

Staff time: already budgeted into hotel banquet overhead

Overhead: already built into the contract (electricity, room, gear, etc.)

They’re charging charity donors $75 for something that costs them less than $10–12 per head, even with markup, waste, spoilage, and labor accounted for.

Oh, I see, in that case fuck the fancy dinner style set up, Mare Fair should just rent out a day at some mom-n-pop burger joint restaurant that's within 15m driving distance and let people enjoy meal together without wasting it on the "presentation".
Fuck hotel and fuck "we did it last year so it's tradition now", I would be equally happy with some basic open air grill and hotdogs if it meant it kept the charity or convention afload, but seeing them wanting to piss away the money just for the sake of it is just annoying.

Most people are flying in, transportation is tough even if there's shuttles and shit. The biggest benefit of the hotel dinner is that it's right there and there's always an open bar. Also to be clear the hotel charity dinners, as with most catered events like this, are all-you-can-eat (plus the open bar), not just one plate of spaghetti and tendies; I'm afraid your number autism is probably rather off the mark, though it's safe to assume it's a rip-off either way.
