An NBC employee here in New York broadcasted the network's cafeteria menu from earlier today over the Twitter waves. To celebrate Black History Month, they were offering up a delicious selection of fried chicken, collard greens, corn bread, black eyed peas, etc. But then two hours later the sign was mysteriously removed, leaving diners with a grilled chicken option. It's unclear what could have possibly prompted NBC to change course (ahem, ?uestlove), but we hear employees are excited for St. Patrick's Day, when the commissary will serve Irish Car Bombs.
