Every available space in the kitchen was filled with enough food to feed a dozen people for a week. 

If we hit a level 4 health crisis, it could mean we would be forced to stay in our homes at all times with exceptions for food runs etc.

Whether or not you're allowed to provide food will vary by area, but many guests have come to expect something.

There are swamp tours, streetcar rides, the sculpture garden, Garden District tours, WWII museum, Mardi Gras World tour (where floats are made), etc. etc. etc. and lots and lots of great restaurants...We have the best food on Earth.

A 30 second search of single family homes around Charlotte under $250k yielded 353 results on the Realtor app, which is kind of like asking your significant other what they want for dinner and getting "food" as a response. 

I'm game...A snip-it from a post I did on this thread about investing in Wisconsin: Milwaukee is sitting on some of the most affordable housing in the country, is adjacent to one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world, has entertainment & food that rivals every major metro, it's sports teams bat way above average for a small market which attracts hundreds of thousands if not millions of people here annually, economic development has been happening at a level unprecedented since the '50s (we are breaking ground on the world's largest mass timber building in June), has a tech ecosystem on the ground floor of attracting major talents with partners from the fortune 500 companies in town... 

The fridge was full, I mean completely full, of absolutely rotten food.

Food servers, exotic dancers, bar tenders = typically none of that "tip" income is on tax returns, same thing, doesn't "count." 

The tenant responds she intends to pay, but had lost her job and has to pay for food and electric, etc with nothing left over.I sympathize and at the same time want to be paid.
