Google Looking For Two Executive Chefs, Mountain View, Ca

Google Launches World-Wide Search for
Two Executive Chefs

On average, Google employees are served more than 2,300 fine meals every workday, free, at Google's Mountain View, California campus. For years, Charlie Fehrs - formerly the chef for the Grateful Dead - served as Executive Chef at Google, supervising a staff of more than 100 who daily prepared an eclectic menu to suit every palate - from vegetarian to sushi, burgers to Mexican - served in Google's five restaurants on the campus. As always, natural and organic ingredients are used whenever possible to prepare delicious, healthy meals for the staff.

Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) recently announced a worldwide search for two executive chefs with the experience to creatively manage the preparation of thousands of quality breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals each day at the company's Mountain View, Calif. headquarters. The executive chefs will oversee the development and continual refinement of an eclectic menu capable of suiting every Googler palate, while using organic ingredients whenever possible.

Interviews are available with Google spokespeople to discuss the Chef Search, what happens in the Google kitchens and what will be happening at an upcoming Cookoff to be held on the Google campus in Mountain View, California.
