I don't understand this attitude. You have no idea what the lunch was for, whether they are friends or business associates. They might have been discussing work, or they might play rec hockey together.
The IC did exactly what he should have done and recused himself from the review, acknowledging that he might have a bias as one of the people that helped incur the expenses.
