Even okay food is okay. It’s worth it for the company.
Perhaps your apprehension is dealing with your mother.

Naw. Actually, we get along really well. As is often the case, my Mom and I are pretty close whereas my sister was a Daddy’s girl. My "apprehension" is strictly on account of the unappealing thought of corporate "Italian" food–I think of Italian food as somthing made with a good deal of emotion.
