So I would suggest calling ops and requesting crew meals early...no food, no go.
They seem to be doing that a lot out of JFK. We had the SFO 6+53 block and did not even have enough meals for FC! Called got the crew meals after a little tiff. They did not want to let the non-rev's eat in FC to leave on time. Again that was a non-starter. Called OCC and he told the gate to put the stupid delay on them and to cater the jet correctly. They literally would not move until the delay was not on them........
