Just for my own clarification, we're talking about Metalhead meeting us in Salina at late lunchtime at this bar and grill:

and setting Gooch's food down on the table and him telling the waitress taking our orders "nah, I'm good, can I get some napkins though?"
I was going to buy drinks. It's not like i was going to just sit there and drink water like weirdo guy at Walkers last weekend.
Your plan is somewhat worse, in that at 1pm when I figure this is going to be happening, we won't even have a game on to be watching. We're just getting there to eat lunch and stake out our game-watching territory. So you're just bringing your own food to lunch at this restaurant.
I'm not saying not to, and I'll almost certainly eat a hammer or two if they're there in addition to whatever I order from the place we're at, just painting a picture here.
