Hill Country, with emeht

Most of Thursday and into Friday morning we didn't have heat in the building so what was supposed to be a working lunch in the office with our client/friends turned into leaving for a heated restaurant because my fingers and toes had almost frozen through. M. and I need a category of lunch options labeled "good for large parties and spreading out architectural plans". Hill Country sort of worked, it's spacious enough for a working lunch, but the moist brisket on butcher paper makes for a messy surface afterward. Still, we manage quite nicely.
