Our office building had a progressive lunch today. There are 11 floors in the building and 9 of them participated (ground floor and the floor with the cafeteria declined). They had floors designated for appetizers, salads/sides, entree/breads and desserts.
We walked from floor to floor munching along the way or just continued to add to our plates until we couldn't carry anymore. It was hysterical - people were on one floor stocking up on goodies and bragging about stuff on other floors. At my first visit (as I'm munching on home made chinese dumplings and fresh salsa), someone mentions "jumbo shrimp on 11" and everyone runs up there. Up on 11, someone mentions "chocolate fountain on 5" and we make our way down there. On 5 it was "avoid 6, its good but overcrowded right now" - 6 had home baked hams and ribs.
I'm not one for progressive dinners, but this was actually quite fun! Got to meet a lot of people and sample an enormous amount of food. And the hallway banter about what goodies were on what floors was hysterical! By 2PM everyone had gone into a food coma and the office got really quiet.
Anyone do anything like this at your office?
