Make friends with someone who works for Google. I have a sweetheart friend who recently started working at the Eighth Avenue office and kindly invited me for lunch at their in-office cafeteria. I had heard rumors about the cafeteria but hadn’t fully considered the possibilities. In the morning of the day that I was to eat with him, he emailed me the menu for that afternoon, which included coconut vanilla shrimp, Guinea hen, corn bread pudding, cashew paella, and a whole slew of other tasty options. There was a raw bar; there was an antipasti station, and there was a dessert stand with blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries that tricked me into thinking it could be the peak of summer.
I couldn’t decide on hardly anything and ended up with a shmorgas of marinated mushrooms, shrimp, roasted eggplant, poached salmon with wakame, pesto pasta, and berries and carrot cake for dessert. I’ve used google to search for recipes many times before, but this was my first full tasting.
