Run of the Meal

■ · By Wayne Mesard · Published 2022-10-25T01:54:22.698Z

It wasn't until after we finished constructing this one that we discovered the NYTimes ran a similar puzzle a couple of years ago, with two of the same theme entries! I surely did that puzzle back then, but I have no recollection of it whatsoever. That's no excuse, since it was easily Google-able.
Still, we had fun making it, and we hope you have fun solving it.

    Good puzzle, I'm sure there's tons of unintentional repetition among puzzles out there- don't feel bad!

      My reaction to unintentional influences is the same as the theme to the puzzle:no big deal.
