"  You may expect that Facebook&amp;#039;s coders, marketers, and executives are all hard at work today, preparing for the site&amp;#039;s impending IPO. But they aren&amp;#039;t the only Facebook employees who will burn the midnight oil. As CNN reports, Facebook will host its 31st &amp;quot;hackathon&amp;quot; \u2014 an all-night coding session \u2014 tonight, and the Facebook culinary team is tasked with providing snacks and meals for the hungry workers throughout the event. A schedule provided to media outlets leading up to the IPO states, &amp;quot;Of course, no Facebook event would be complete without food, so our culinary team will be providing snacks and meals throughout the night. We&amp;#039;ll also have some employees DJing inside and ample Red Bull.&amp;quot; More From Delish: 10 Don&amp;#039;t-Tell Shortcuts from Gourmet Kitchens There&amp;#039;s no official word on what exactly &amp;quot;culinary overlord&amp;quot; Josef Desimone and his team will make throughout the night, but if it&amp;#039;s anything like the dishes that are regularly served to Facebook employees for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (for free!), tonight&amp;#039;s hackers are in for a treat.
