Would I look like a complete dork/loser/etc if I brought a bag lunch?

I have considered this often. In fact I was at Target when I found a NICE insulated backpack (check about 3 months back in one of my posts-maybe longer) and was pretty excited to bring it with me.

I called security and asked if I could bring a backpack into the casino w/ food and they said no. So, on the record you can't do it, however I'd be really interested to see if we could get it by them somehow, someway. I have a couple bananas stuffed in my inside coat pocket and they see that every day and have no problems w/ it. I don't know why they'd have a problem w/ a small cooler. Other people bring in fanny packs.

Maybe we could talk to Ken or Tomas about this or perhaps somebody else higher up. It would make it sooo much easier to play longer sessions.

I bring a smallish bag with me and in it is a big bottle of water and trail mix and other random stuff to eat. I don't like to get up from time games for dumb things like food so I nourish at the table.

Try not to touch the food you're eating, it's so unbelievably unsanitary.

Have you considered bringing a selection of Cliff bars.. They can taste really good, fill you up, and are in no way unpleasant to the other people at the table.

No problem at all, so long as you are permitted to bring stuff in. I'd suggest a small backpack with a soft cooler thingy, rather than an actual cooler. At some places they don't want you bringing in your own alcohol (like Canterbury), so a backpack arouses less concern on the part of security. I got stopped on the way into CP with an open diet coke, and they made me toss it, but I've brought a backpack or a large briefcase in several times without a hitch.

Have you considered bring your lunch in your luckbox?

Eat the sandwiches provided, sissy. I get sick less than half the time.

PS: DO NOT touch the Roast Beef.
PS: Never the pastami.

Obviously, the chickensalad and tuna salad are a deathwish.

And I don't trust the turkey or ham, or anything with mayo.

Oh, And the pretzels are always stale.

Otherwise, I wholeheartedly recommend anything on the menu.

Work on caring less about what you look like in front of a bunch of randoms.

Just bring a backpack and put all your belongings in it, like ipod, money, keys, books, etc. Then when u wanna eat just take the bag and go away from the table, either a cafeteria area or somewhere to eat, that easy......and u wont feel like an idiot
