fubarx @lemmy.ml What's the policy on bringing raw materials and making it in the theater? It's not technically outside food and is prepared on the premises.
Thinking a hibachi stove or an electric blender.

Combine. Add heat. Et Voila! Someone complain, bring in bags of powdered chemicals, beakers, reagents, and bunsen burners, and go to work.
It's all in the technical margins.

Unreliable @lemmy.ml If I bring my own food and consume it indoors it is indoor food. If I ate it outside, it would be outside food. /s
5 0 ReplyFedizen @lemmy.world If I had to guess the idea is the food comes to the theater in a truck, too, is that also "outside food"?
Realistically though I think everyone knows you're supposed to buy the food in the theater - everything else is people being cute
