Operatives on the Fox lot send us today's promotional menu (and a blurry phonecam shot) from the Fox News Cafe plugging the premiere of The O.C. to its hungry employees. Eat up, the menu seems to say, because we've spent the network's entire advertising budget making sure that this show succeeds. Should we open to weak Nielsens, dear Employee, your next meal might have more of a "dumpster-diving ten blocks east on Pico" theme. Our favorite item might be "Marissa & Ryan's Blackened Tofu," because everyone knows the meat-eating tough guy from Chino has a softer side. The full menu, should you wish to participate in the promotion at your desk, is after the jump.
