Facebook's headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif. sit on a sprawling grassy campus formerly occupied (and still owned by) HP. Behind the main building is a basketball court, which if today's menu is any indication, employees had better start using.

Today, the day of Facebook's hot-anticipated press conference coming off it's lockdown period, the court hosted not a game of 3-on-3, but three folding tables laden with hamburgers, barbecue ribs, collared greens, mac and cheese, and cookies. The ribs had just a hint of the slightly sweet tang of Korean BBQ and the mac and cheese clotted above the canned heat.

In short, the meal will take a great deal longer to digest than today's announcement.
