In game snacks? (1 Viewer)

[allforcharity]

If I were to host a poker session, I'd probably try and provide:

1. Simple charcuterie board - deli meats, sliced cheese, pepperoni sticks, possibly pickles - Costco has the best prices for these
2. Crackers, pate, home smoked trout
3. Fruit platter
4. Whiskey and wine

I'm hosting a cash game this Saturday. What is your favorite in-game snack to eat at the table?

(PS, I don't have a hot dog roller)

Pigs in a blanket and pizza rolls...

Snacks from last nights game...

We were only 6-handed for most of the night!

I always order pizza (1/2 large pizza per person) for whoever wants to eat. Everyone chips in for their pizza cost, the total split by the number of people. Everyone can BYOB, if they want. I figure if I’m going to spend time and energy hosting the game, I’m not going to start off $40 down in food by buying a variety of snacks.

Crock pot snacks, you can never go wrong with those.

Another trick I use is to provide cheap paper cups for snacks.... The cups fit into drink holders to prevent spills and are convenient.

This is simply brilliant -- best home game hosting tip I've seen in a long time. Will implement immediately, tyvm.

Since I moved - it is the outlet mall in San Marcos. As in San Marcos TX, home of Texas State University.

Another trick I use is to provide cheap paper cups for snacks, or possibly small bowls, rather than large plates. The cups fit into drink holders to prevent spills and are convenient. Items like the meatballs don’t do well with large flat plates. Invariably one will slide off a plate and onto the floor... marinara sauce stains.... just sayin

At my game, I do drinks and light snacks on the house.
My bar fridge (inset in wall) has beer, soft drinks, water, G2 etc. I do have a few assortment of liquor as well; Whiskey, Rum and Vodka, but most players don't do hard liquor.
As far as snacks go, it's usually Pretzels, potato chips, popcorn and Hot Rods.
My table rules are no snack bowls on the table. I built under table pull out trays that hold the snack bowls and the racetrack have the drink holders.
The tray can be pushed under the table, even with a bowl full of snacks.
Here is a pic of fridge and pull out snack trays.
