Some companies are very explicit about allowing people to work anywhere and paying them the same.
As for the lunch conversations, these conversations happen in slack (which is lame, but that's what we use). Remote-first companies and teams are better about this, but we would have plenty of hipchat (remember them?) conversations at Nagios.
The lunch room conversations feed the good-old-boy promotion process. My boss likes bikes. I like bikes. I get the promotion sort of thing.
One thing we do is have a weekly happy hour. Sometimes those conversations are technical, but not nearly as often as a work lunch would be.
