For the sake of logistics, Orlando Jack has graciously reserved a section of a UCF Campus restaurant called Knightro's. It seems to have something for everyone and it looks like we won't have to wait around for food orders - it's cafeteria-style. The best part is, it's right next to the Arena. So we can park at the garage, walk to the restaurant, and walk right to the event from there. They don't show the whole menu on the campus website, but it looks like they should have something for meat eaters and veggie eaters alike.
