When does it make sense to make a meta description longer than what's considered best practice?
I believe that this is going to be such a tiny tiny benefit that it might move you up from position 998 to 997, but if you are in the top 30 positions in the SERPs it will have zero impact. It is also possible that the longer your description, the smaller the impact on any keyword. I would invest my time in short, hot descriptions that elicit clicks.

How do you check the google cache for hashbang pages?
I was actually trying to give you the tools to figure out what's cached and indexed. You can just run a site search for the content and look at the cache, though. For example: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:wIHvFryFPo4J:www.kingskolacheny.com/%23!cateringandcontact/c1d94+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us If nothing shows up it's probably not indexed.
