One of the (many) perks of working for Google is that they offer free gourmet meals to all their employees at 17 different cafes across their sprawling network of offices. One discerning Google employee has made something of a name for himself within the company through his regular food recommendations and reviews that he posts to an internal email list for the culinary edification of his co-workers. He's become so well known in the Google community when it comes to food that he was asked to join the committee responsible for hiring the chefs.
Yesterday, the Los Angeles Times published an article about Thunder Parley, this notable Google food reviewer, in their workplace section. It's a fun read, not only for his story, but also as a peek into the world of free Google food.
