OP here. Interesting. His executive functioning is high (was an executive, still meticulous about home maintenance and bills, etc.)

Could it be anxiety? My non professional opinion is that he has untreated anxiety, but it didn’t occur to me that this was related.[/quote]

Executive functioning has nothing to do with being an executive or home maintenance and bill paying.

It's the ability to conceive of a task and then carry it out, involving the individual steps needed to see it through.  He may in fact have problems if he can't manage to organize himself to get a plate, wait on line, manager hunger, select from an array of foods, select small portions, balance his plate, select a seat, and manage his plate while socializing.  This is a lot of executive functioning.

When people begin to slip cognitively, at first it looks a lot like manipulation and game playing.  We went through this with my mother and why she constantly needed to be accompanied to the doctor, to the bathroom, etc.  Try to be kind here.
