Google: No Fast Food Nation here
Is Google looking more like Chez Panisse than a fast-growing tech empire? The Internet search giant's plush employee perks, including tasty free meals served up onsite, are well-known. But, adding some spice to the gossip, Valleywag has published a copy of Google's "Culinary Team Kitchen Food Standards," a sort of kitchen manifesto with accompanying "Statement of Values." The short of it? Nothing but nitrate-free organic chickens chez Google. Here are some choice tidbits from the statement in question, which is presumably posted for all to see near the Google cafeteria:
  • All stocks, sauces, and dressings are made from scratch.
  • We follow the seafood standards as outlined by the Monterey Bay Acquarium Seafood Watch Program.
  • We will engage local artisan vendors that can provide the quantity and quality of culinary products expected by Googlers.
Now The Browser is strictly free-range, but we're also very sensitive to the perils of creeping political correctness backed by an $150 billion market cap. Call us cynical and jealous (both true!), but something about this "Google Culinary Team" doc kills our appetite.
