Show these people what Rainy Days is all about.”[/color] Charles calls out, moving about the kitchen, deciding to get a few packages of week old soba noodles.  Knowing he had to pull out all the stops to win this competition today he got prepped for a 4 course meal with a cocktail to accompany it.  He grabs some crab, cabbage, Red Argentine shrimp, Lobster tail, his house barbecue sauce, some restaurant exclusive rum, whiskey and absinthe, kewpie mayo, butter, cream, milk and several unmarked spices.  Putting them in a cooler he sets out to get the rest of his food for the day.

Making his way to the festival in a full size Chevy Conversion van with 2 employees he stops by a catering store to pick up a new cart for holding food.  He shows up to the festival a little late but still early in the day.  He goes about setting up his employees for working the crowd, giving them the liquor and the license to go with the cart.  Leaving them to the cart he heads over to the venue for the cooking competition.  He starts scoping it out for later on while the festival gets into the swing of things.
