As keeners we eat lunch at the rafter’s lunch site, either at the Lorne one the main channel or Garvin’s on the middle. While there is also good food served at both there are certain ways to, say, optimize your time at the lunch site, secure more food and have a better time with the lads. Today I will fill you in a few secrets I’ve learned the hard way over many lunches.
Firstly, get a mocha at the soup station. Skip the soup, we’ll be eating more than enough hot food later and the caffeine is essential to overcome the fatigue that comes from kayaking everyday. Be sure to high tail out of there before the raft trip comes or you might be “voluntold” into serving endless throngs of rafters soup, a purgatory from which you will never escape.
Next up is the main event, the burger stand. I highly reccomend going behind the counter here, the work is pretty easy and lots of keeners will be behind with you so it’s easy enough to dip before the crowds. The advantage to working at the burger stand is access to cookies, and extremely limited resource only awarded to keeners deemed helpful by the kitchen staff, and you can easily take a two or three patty burger without fear of reprisal, because after all you are helping out. After you’re done chopping some veggies and collecting your aforementioned reward you can settle into your burger. But don’t forget to always toast your buns and add cheese. As for condiments, the more the merrier, if mayo isn’t dripping all over your rash guard you don’t have enough toppings. Depending on the temperature the benches by the trail and the fire are good places to eat, as they allow easy exit in case of Steveo requiring keeners to pick up trash and let you disguise yourself as a rafter for the purpose of eating more cookies.
If you followed my steps you should be full, sufficiently caffeinated and quickly back on the water, doing what keeners do best: kayaking.
