Our facilities team have been working hard trying to change our soup, salad and sandwich bar lunchroom into a fully functioning kitchen so that they can make us some tasty lunch treats and so much more.
This week they have been testing out new lunch items that they will potentially add to a weekly menu. Tuesday's tasty tester was a nacho buffet, and the way the instant line formed out of the lunchroom, I'd say it's a hit. Honestly, who isn't a fan of pure nacho goodness?
Now traditionally Zappos lunches have been provided free of charge, but the big question Tuesday was: How much would you pay for a plate of Nachos? As of right now, $3 seems to be an agreeable rate.
Well, today my dear friends is Pulled Pork Day. That's right, delicious pork stripped apart in a scrumptious sauce....yummy! But the best part about Pulled Pork Day are the delicious accoutrements that go along with it - watermelon slices, rolls, pasta, and potato wedges.
And there is absolutely no connection between river dancing and pulled pork, except for the fact that pulled pork day makes me do a jig!
I love it whenever I ask the question " What's for lunch today?" I get oh so excited when I hear something as delightful as beef enchilada! I'm gonna strut my stuff over to the lunch room to get a bite of this savory Mexican cuisine!
....in order to give money back to those in need. Here's an interview with Jamie N. giving us the inside scoop on why we're bringing our brown bags to work this week.
September 8th – September 12th we will not be serving lunch at our offices or the outlets and the money will be given to the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation to help them in the cost associated with their upcoming Bone Marrow Drives. Their goal this year is to save the lives of 6 children here in Nevada. It could take hundreds or even thousands of people to get tested in order to save these children. Here are a few quick facts:
· 46 Children are diagnosed with cancer everyday
· 30,000 children and adults right now have a disease that could be cured with a bone marrow transplant.
· Only 30% of them will find a match
Zappos will be hosting 3 bone marrow drives for the NCCF in September. The support of “Zapponians No Lunch” money has allowed the foundation to double their bone marrow efforts this year. On September 12th the Bone Marrow Registry will be on site at the 2280 building for Zappos Employees interested in joining the registry. You will need to fill out a quick form and they will swab the inside of your mouth. That’s it! You can change your mind if you do get called, but we hope you won’t. On September 13th 2 more bone marrow drives will be hosted at our outlet stores.
Here it is, the infamous question that is whispered through the Zappos headquarters every Tuesday and Thursday: What's for lunch today?
It's La-zag-nay day! Which is very similar to Lasagna, but, well, different. (Actually, we just didn't have the heart to tell Brett he was mispronouncing it.)
Da do da do da doo doo, da do da do da doo doo...what's for lunch today?
It's shredded pork, pasta and quartered potato day! Hooray! Oh, and don't forget to grab a slice or two of juicy watermelon while they're still in season - I'm gonna miss you Summer fruit.
Single tear:(
