power lunches
Networking over food
Power lunches are business meals, typically midday, where deals are negotiated, alliances formed, or influence exercised.
The term evokes expense-account dining at upscale restaurants where executives and power brokers conduct business over food: The partners held their power lunches at the steakhouse across from the courthouse.
The singular power lunch works the same way.
