Safety Meeting Food Spread - A Company Cook Off

Every month we have a Safety Meeting at work. Typically in the office kitchen there is always something to curb your appetite while different topics are being discussed. Upcoming projects, current progress of other projects, the companies financial situation, future commercial customers, accidents in the industry, company accidents and incidents… many topics get discussed and that tends to make us all a little hungry.

Last month they announced a little foodie competition. Make your favorite “tailgate party” food and bring it in for everyone to enjoy during the safety meeting. Around here “tailgate party” food are typically dips, sweets, bbq finger food, basically side dishes or snack foods I guess. Grab a plate and try 4-5 tasty snacks, then go back for more. At the end of the safety meeting we all vote for our top 4 favorites. The winners get some pretty cool little prizes. Free pizzas from a locally owned pizza joint, gift cards, water bottles, coffee mugs…

I couldn’t help myself but to try a little of everything. Though I forgot what most of them were I remember a few. Guacamole deviled eggs, peanut butter bars with chocolate and oatmeal, smoked sausage wrapped with bacon and topped with a cream cheese mixture, buffalo chicken dip, corn chowder dip, shrimp and rock fish dip, Spicy chili cheese dip, and some killer chicken legs. What a great way to keep the company moral up and have a friendly completion to promote great employee relations. Not a bad place to work if you ask me 😉
