Delivered by submarine via the creek that runs under Sanford.

I'm assuming he is taking issue with the number of 50,000, not necessarily how they get to the end-user. I can tell you, definitively, all the food from whomever is trucked in (but you already know that). As far as numbers go, not really sure. Because of how much spread there is between CFA, pizza, hotdogs, peanuts, etc, I'm not sure that 50k BBQ sandwiches are needed. If 25k people order two of them each, though.....

This sounds like an opportunity for a GA based entrepreneur and BBQ outfit to install themselves in Sanford and sell about 10,000 sandwiches every game day.
The only BBQ joint in the state that could possibly handle that kind of scale is Fox Bros. They're doing it in Suntrust and will have a space at Mercedes Benz Stadium.
At the end of the day, it's not going to be all that good. It's going to all be prepared sandwiches so bitching about quality of product at this point is ridiculous. Not saying you, just other comments I've seen surrounding this story.

The owner of White Tiger in Athens (best in Athens btw) told the Flagpole that he doesn't think anyone in GA could have met the Sanford Stadium demand at this point, without significantly compromising on their quality.. he specifically mentioned Fox and the SSI place.
However, he followed up with his disappointment that the smaller GA based companies weren't offered individual booths. He suggests that his company White Tiger, Fox Bros, and all the others, are all perfectly capable of operating at a single booth level of production at the stadium.

OK, 10,000.
What other bbq company in GA can immediately scale up to cooking 555 additional butts on top of their current production level?
Even if you had the capital in reserve to purchase the additional cookers (among a hundred other things), you are then laying out a million dollars in new equipment that you only get to use 7 times a year. What fool would do this, unless your company is already scaled up to be able to operate at that level.

When I first saw the headline I imagined 1 booth like Fox Bros at STP. You are correct. Any one of those mentioned could fulfill that

Which is why it makes sense for the Admin to go with someone like Dreamland. They can easily handle the volume, multiple locations, and no one really cares about the quality anyway. Plus they were probably able to broker a pretty good deal so it's a win/win.
