What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBenzinga reports Uber is buying workplace catering platform ezCater for two point three billion dollars in cash, pushing Uber Eats into office lunch.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorJoining us is Governor Bartholomew Crumpet-Salazar of the Free State of Lower Upper Dakota.
Bartholomew Crumpet-SalazarGloria, thank you. Lunch exists because of my leadership. I personally invented the sandwich in a budget meeting. Uber is simply following my lead.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorGovernor, the deal is a cash acquisition by Uber. Your state is not mentioned. What exactly did you do?
Bartholomew Crumpet-SalazarI created the climate in which a man can be hungry at work. If it fails, that is the previous governor's fault. He hated crackers.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI covered a lunch summit in Geneva once. I was asked to leave over a cheese plate. Governor, will this deal create jobs?
Bartholomew Crumpet-SalazarMany jobs! Mostly me, ribbon cutting. But if a single wrap arrives cold, that is the fault of the weather, the moon, and Canada.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBenzinga calls it aggressive diversification beyond ride-sharing. Governor, did you eat a catered lunch before this interview?
Bartholomew Crumpet-SalazarYes, forty-one tiny quiches, and I regret nothing. Please send help and a chair that doesn't squeak. We'll leave it there, Gloria.
