SAN JOSE, Calif. ? Google, the Internet search kingpin, is conducting a huge search of its own: It is scouring the world for a pair of executive chefs.
Former celebrity chef Charlie Ayers, who once cooked for the Grateful Dead, resigned in May. Google has announced it is now looking internationally for two "quick and creative thinkers" who can develop menus ranging from vegan entrees to organic wood-fired pizzas.
Google serves 2,300 meals a day and counting, and it recently added a fifth cafe to its Mountain View, Calif., headquarters.
"These two chefs will play an important role in managing the company's growing appetites," said co-founder Sergey Brin in a news release. And nobody would deny that Google has growing appetites.
This is no job for the weak of stomach. In this kitchen version of The Apprentice, top candidates will prepare a meal for 30 employees at the Googleplex. Then four finalists will compete in a cookoff, with the two best getting jobs.
Susan Wojcicki, a vice president and "longtime seeker of Google chefs," said the new chefs will get stock options. They may also acquire star status.
