Review: Apple HQ Cafeteria
Posted by Brian Lam at 11:34 AM on August 27, 2008
Maclife reviewed the Apple Cafeteria, perhaps under the guidance of the director of food they poached from Google. The verdict is that the sushi and tomatoes are great, and the automatic tray carousel is pretty snazzy. [Maclife]

So is the Apple Cafeteria better than the Microsoft one?

I look at the lawn, the umbrellas and I can't help but hear these conversations in my head:
"I'm tempted to use the aluminum forks, but I must say I'm enjoying the less expensive comfort of these plastic ones. Is there any difference between the black one and the white one?...."
"So Jill in accounting bought a Thinkpad last week and since then I haven't seen her. Her daughter called and she sounded worried..."
"My son graduated from high school last week so I'm buying him a new Vaio"
*guards walk over*
"Excuse us sir, but you'll have to come with us."
"No wait but I was just wait wait NOOOOOOOO!"

Must be a slow news days when you Apple fanboys have to pass off a review of a cafeteria as TECH NEWS.

MS has at least 12 (give or take a couple) on the Redmond Campus alone. Cafe food is all the same, after a while it all starts to taste like paper ;).

The food at Microsoft's silicon valley campus is pretty good. Food at Microsoft's Redmond campus, not so much.

Corporate cafaterias just make U feel so different when U don't eat in them.

Ok, I wish Apple's Austin campus was nearly as nice as the ones in California...the cafeteria isn't even close...no sushi whatsoever...

Kaiser-Machead's frustrating apostrophe: You forget about the mandatory brainwashing all employees must go through.
The ship ain't leaking that far into the voyage.
(Jill is the sushi now, btw)

having had the luxury of working at the Apple Campus, I have to say the Cafe Macs (the real name of the Apple HQ cafeteria) is amazing. anything from salad to sushi. Everything is made to order. build your own pizza/calzone/pasta, fresh sushi, a HUGE salad bar, and several different specials everyday.
You can sit and mingle with Apple execs, engineers, or the front desk lady that pleasantly greets you at 1 Infinite Loop, but everyone is an equal at Macs. (Even El Jobso eats at Macs)

@canyoncarver: Anything apple for us fanboys is a good thing. And for those lucky enough to eat at Cafe Macs (myself included) its good to hear that our fanboyism wasn't what made the food great. While Cafe Macs is great, I think the best part is every other friday they put kegs in there for everyone to come and drink/party to start the weekend off. Now THATS a quality company. =)

Interesting pics, but this story could have been told in one page if the author stayed on topic and cut down on the bad jokes. I'm not what anyone would call a literary critic, but the fluff-to-content ratio was way off.
