We got to go to THE Facebook for lunch today, thanks to my Thick Dumpling Skin co-creator Lisa Lee, who works there!   

As you can imagine, the cafeteria is very reminiscent of college.

Tons of options – from soup and sandwiches…

We decided to partake from the hot and ready-prepared food options

There were even more on the rooftop, where we wound up dining…

…along with an entire BBQ, fresh off the grill!

I got some Pulled Pork, Wild Boar Stew, Chicken, and Vegetable Paella…

…roasted tomato, grilled asparagus, and two salads – one was Romaine with Peaches + Candied Pecans, and the other was Arugula topped with Pancetta Lardons, Watermelon, and Feta

Mark Zuckerberg keeps his crew well-fed!

I had a couple bites from Abe’s vegetarian main dishes – frittata, beans, and pizza

A few dessert options – managed to limit myself to two

1/4 of an It’s It Ice Cream sandwich – think oatmeal cookie meets Klondike Bar

Also a bowl of frozen yogurt…

…topped with figs in syrup!!! It’s like they KNEW I was coming today.

Other very “Lynn” treats were peppered throughout the offices – there were snack stations EVERYWHERE!

I snagged a few to go, plus a Tootsie Pop flavor I’ve never seen before – watermelon

Thank you, Lisa!

  18. Is it weird that the first thing I noticed (well, the second) was the Le Creuset pots and pans things are being served in?

  21. Wow! I can’t believe the food! They must have a whole crew of gourmet chefs there – love the Le Crueset cookware!

  22. Jeezzz. I wished I worked at that place! So many healthy food options:) You’d never have to pack your own lunch. Looks like a great day!

  23. It was Nacho Day when I went up there in January. Brilliant. :)
