I do a lot of big events at big convention hotels, and you would be shocked at how much amazing food they throw out. I know you think you know, but trust me you have no idea.

Big events are irregular things with hot, fresh food, so it doesn't surprise me. It would be nice if the food could go to a food bank, but that one would be a logistical nightmare compared sending a regular, but small amount of baked goods from a local grocery store to a local food bank.

Hey, give me some numbers please.

I fear I might be overestimating it and getting angrier by the minute.

Impossible. There's no way you could possibly imagine it.
