I always did a large area of ​​the whole food. Later I did dozen smaller for alcohol and prepared meals separately, so at any point in my fortress food was available. This trick significantly increased the productivity of my employees and facilitate the management of food.
Now here comes the problem. I want to do two of the stockpiles in my dining room, but I can not assign this two stockpiless to take food from the main stock. IIs there a limit on the distance between places stockpiling? Or it is bug?

This is a known issue.  Each stockpile can have at most one other stockpile taking from it.

If you want stockpiles A and B to take from stockpile C do this:
Let stockpile A take from C.
Let stockpile B take from A.

Yup. I have a large stockpile for drinks at the top of my fort, near my still. Down a level or two I have a medium sized one just outside my dining room that takes from the big one. Then I have a smaller one down a level or two near my workshops that takes from the one near the dining room. Then another medium sized one down at the small dining hall at the magma workshops in the bottom of the fort that takes from the workshop pile. So drinks tend to work their way down the fortress unless they get drunk along the way.

Ditto for prepared meals, only I don't bother with a stockpile near the workshops.
