Every day ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu used to see the upala-bhoga ceremony at the temple of JagannÄtha, and after seeing this He used to go visit these three great personalities on His way to His own residence.

Purport

Upala-bhoga is a particular type of offering performed just behind the Garuá¸a-stambha on a stone slab. That stone slab is called the upala. All food is offered within the temple room just below the altar of JagannÄtha. This bhoga, however, was offered on the stone slab within the vision of the public; therefore it is called upala-bhoga.
