I've told this story, but I ordered two carbs (Waffles and pancakes, maybe?) at a breakfast for opposing counsel. "Why two carbs Raffi? Who eats two different carbs?"

It took like a few weeks for the boss to get over it. "Ok, fix that clause and let's get it out. But damnit two carbs? "
Yes, where I started organizing meetings was a fraught part of being a first year associate. Or maybe it was fraught just for me. But it caused me a *lot* of stress.
Total side note: this is one of the things that makes the biglaw experience so variable. Like, this mess caused me so much misery. You try your best to do the meeting or breakfast or whatever, and then the partner, for who knows what reason, hates it and you get yelled at. 1a/
But I have friends who handled it just fine and are really well-organized on such matters, and that didn't cause them much stress. So if I told them I was up for an extra three hours from 12-3 am organizing the breakfast meeting, they'd think I was nuts.
Also, yes, we had a big in-house catering operation.
