The Kings and Queens of the Freehold decided the best way to introduce all the attending Lost to each other was with a Cajun dinner party. How better to get so many differing views together in one place than over food. Pots of gumbo, jambalaya, rice, cornbread, and of course lots and lots of boiled and seasoned crawdads lined the front tables. Coolers of all manners of drinks sat right beside them. Guests are expected to form a somewhat neat line and help themselves buffet style.
