As if we didnt have reason enough to love/hate the infinite empire, Google, the company's headquarters in Mountain View has opened Cafe 150 to feed its droves of employees.

Google has taken corporate cafeteria's to the next level by providing healthy, organic, non-cafeteria-ish food in a cafeteria setting. Service is still on trays. Head Chef Nate Keller named the cafeteria "150" because he is dedicated to sourcing ingredients for everything on the menu from within 150 miles of the Google campus. It is google's way of supporting the ideas of sustainable, local, and organic that is so important to the Bay Area food culture. Chefs are encouraged to be creative with menus, which may have up to 100 different recipes a day.

Google's newest restaurant

As if we weren't already envious of the free food that comes out of Google's cafeterias, today's SF Chronicle features a story about the internet giant's latest eatery, Cafe 150. Apparently, the "150" comes from the restaurant's pledge to source all of its ingredients locally, within 150 miles. Aside from being a plus for Google's employees, rumored to number around 4,000, the new restaurant may also be a welcome addition as a buyer from local organic farms. The Chronicle goes on to give a thorough background of Google's food-service program, including the fact that it was spearheaded by the former caterer for the Grateful Dead. Where are the Google goo balls?
