"When that large group came back late for dinner and didn't get penalized, it not only held up the people they played that round, but all the people the following rounds."

Yes, here's the start of what could've become a big delay. Some might think 15 to 30 minutes delay is no big deal but when it affects lots of matches there's the chance that some of those matches run late, further compounding the delay.

"I put the restaurant into my GPS and it said it was a 40 minute trip. EACH WAY!"

And herein lies the crux of the matter. This is bad judgement on the organizers' parts. Clearly someone in Atlanta going to the restaurant had to know how far away it was. Perhaps they thought it was only half an hour drive, but anyhow, that seems to risky with a big party and time pressure to get back to play.

Two hours should be plenty for a dinner break. Players can certainly, in most semi-metro or decent suburban areas find several nearby restaurants not more than 10 minutes away.
