Hey Ted,
I never noticed those were hot dogs they were eating! Something else about this photo has always grabbed my attention, that Officer-Looking fellow in the right side foreground is not actually a Naval Officer. If you look at his Cap Device it looks different. Do you know what that is? I am guessing maybe a Merchant Marine Officer? I wonder why he was at the Higgins Factory at the Commissioning Ceremony? If you look at the guy driving the PT631 in the Builders Photos you can see the same guy at the wheel of the PT631 taken in !945. Strange huh? Jerry
Look who is driving the boat
There he is again peeking over the windscreen

Jerry;
Quick answer......locals that A.J. knew and had assigned down there as boat sea trail performers directly attached to the factory. I have also noticed this, in more than a few Higgins photos.
Just my opinion, nothing concrete.
Take care,
