I wouldn't want to work anywhere that would reward choosing pizza hut.

Apoorva Mehta founded Instacart in 2012 at age 26. He tried to apply for funding through Y Combinator but missed the deadline. He eventually got a meeting by using the Instacart mobile app to deliver a six-pack of beer from 21st Amendment Brewery to a Y Combinator partner[10] and was admitted to the summer of 2012 batch.[12] Y Combinator helped Mehta raise $2.3 million in funding[10] and enabled him to meet his two co-founders, Max Mullen and Brandon Leonardo.[11]

I guess it was only a matter of time before "openly bribing prospective employers" was the norm

This is just so bizarre. As an applicant, why the hell would I want to use my ex/current-employer as channel for my next one? As an employer, I would probably be annoyed.

Is there something particular with NYC culture which makes this anything but weird and out of touch?

And to choose to send a prospective employer Pizza Hut pizza in NYC should disqualify any applicant.

We all know the best place to get a New York slice is Sbarro.

I may not have much NYC pizza experience (NJ FTW) but in my opinion there's good pizza and great pizza -- rarely bad pizza! If I was having a pizza-less day and suddenly got one of these, it'd definitely be a +1 :)

(Tounge-in-cheek from a dude who loves pizza and has been refining a home recipe every Friday for the last few years).

Bad pizza is like bad ice cream. I can admit, I too wouldn't turn it down if offered to me.

besides, have you ever tried it? Its really not that bad.
