Inside the Google Cafeteria--Chicago

I don't know how I scored such a lucky invite, I'm just happy I made the cut. I found myself last week enjoying a delicious lunch at the Google offices in Chicago, which is one of their satellite locations. They're originally based in Mountain View, CA., but I was just happy to have a Google moment and be totally immersed in their brilliance.

Aside from the conferences (of course), I was truly impressed with the free lunch. Okay, first I was impressed by the idea of FREE--yes, indeed there is such a thing as a free lunch on this planet!:)

No doubt, these folks work very hard for that privilege--I mean,they work HARD. But they also play hard!

So, back to the FOOD. Not only is it nutritious, with generous options for vegetarians, but the flavor is to die for. Here are some pix below of this salad that was so good I cornered the chef to get his recipe. I think he must have thought I was a foodie weirdo, but I just didn't care. The salad was THAT GOOOD!

Here's the photo, and the ingredients. I couldn't manage to wheedle the recipe out of him (*arghh!) but I think I can experiment at home enough to figure out the measurement for myself. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! YUM....
