[LASS Soaring] Drela's Streamlined Deli

[Ben Wilson]

What with our contest coming up soon, I just saw this on the ESL mailing list.  It's Dr. Drela's food checklist for his CRRC contest.  As you might expect, it's fairly detailed and well-reasoned with some efficiencies capitalized. :)

FWIW, below is my food checklist I used for the CRRC contest.

My rules of thumb are 
1/4 lb lunchmeat/person,
3 slices bread/person,
on average.

One time-saving trick when shopping is to give the grocery-deli guy a list
with the meat and cheese order, which he cuts up while you can gather
all the other stuff.  Saves about 1/2 hour of standing at the deli counter.

Or you can just order a 5 ft sub like the they do at Poway.
