I'm always interested in new food sites and meeting new foodies, so I'm glad to be here.

It sounds like the culture at this office is unusually informal. It might be wise to take someone you trust aside and ask 1-on-1 if this behavior is what they do all the time or only sometimes (when the general manager is out, when the big-wigs from back East aren't around, etc.).
