Hmm, there is a chain of command within all flight crew, but on my flights there is a slighty varied chain of 'priority' when it comes to pax food! :-
Pax get what they want (even if they want second meals); no crew eats any pax meals before the pax are all offered ( you never know when a whole rack of something will accidently fall on the floor and then you struggle to feed the pax !)
If there is anything left, all cabin crew are offered what they want
If there is anything left after that, then the techies are offered what is left..... this isnt 'anti-techie' but they generally get better meals/ more substantial meals than us..... and after all, the cabin crew have had to prepare and serve all the meals, so it is only fair that they get first choice!
It may be wrong, or may be right ..... but no crew never eat any pax meals before the pax are all offered .... you never know when you need some spares for the pax !
Thats just the way I run things !
