Ask HN: Did Mark Zuckerberg try to recruit you with soup?

I'm a reporter with Eater, and I'm curious about the rumors that Mark Zuckerberg delivered "homemade soup" to recruit folks to Meta.

Has anyone heard of this happening to someone they know, or experienced it themself? I'm curious to hear some personal or second-hand stories.
