It's kind of second-hand, but I don't have any reason to doubt its authenticity. Gabor Rejto, who played second cello in some of those Heifetz recordings, told it to my teacher, Adolph Baller, who in turn told it to me.
Some of the rehearsals for those recordings were held at Heitetz' house, and they usually spanned the late morning to early afternoon, with a break for lunch. Heifetz made sure that everyone else brought their own lunches, and for most of them, this consisted of some kind of sandwich and a bag of chips. So Rejto was at one of these rehearsals (must have been for the Schubert Quintet or whichever Brahms Sextet they did), and lunch time arrived. Everybody pulled out their cold sandwiches out of their lunch bags and began eating - that is, everybody except for Heifetz, who had his maid bring him a serving platter with a gourmet hot lunch! ;-)
