Hi Allison,
We do paid lunches and dinners at our events, but we have them set up as a session with a fee. This allows us to include a registration question for their meal selection (plated). I'm sure you could set up your meal events as optional items as long as you don't need to collect any additional information from the attendee about the meal event.
Hope that helps!
