If any of you have had the Chef's food, or knew how hard he worked, or if any of you have read his book (which I highly doubt as it still has not been released yet) you might have something a little nicer to say. I'll admit I used to be jealous when I would get to read the daily Google Menu back in the day, as I myself went to Taco Bell.... Now, I just get to eat good food all the time in my own private Google kitchen, if you folks were nicer I might consider inviting you over for a meal... I guess it's easier to throw barbs and insults to people you don't know. One thing I can tell all of you is that you can't believe everything that you read or hear. A lot of this stuff that is written is taken out of context, and then tweeked to amuse others....but if you all want to get your panties in a bunch go ahead....I'm going to go have some breakfast, The French Toast sounds wonderful!

I seem to remember a constant supply of free krispy kremes, dunkin donuts, Regina's, despina's, and dominos (sometimes the fine Bertuccis!). I think the only good free food I ever had was during rush. Regardless, I do completlely agree with the googlers. Even though my startup can't afford a full time chef, we make an extra effort every week to stock up on fresh food from Costco (even though fresh and costco may be oxymoron). However, one important thing I've learned is that you don't buy food that has directions, otherwise you'll have 2-3 employees spending 2 hours a day trying to be the chef! to MIT PhD – When was the last time your lab professor ordered Sushi?

Here at MIT, we have a lot of free food which achieves the same purpose. Especially near paper deadlines, when a number of professors pay for their students to order delivery from the lab instead of spending time walking to a restaurant. But what was that about fish and brain elasticity?? I can believe that giving employees lunch makes them work longer hours. Here at MIT, we have a lot of free food which achieves the same purpose.
