Best Office Cafeteria: Worship thy leader, drones!
Pixar
Everyone knows it's good to work for Pixar. But Jesus, it's good to work for Pixar! Just check out the food. The chef works a wood-fired oven, where animators and voice talent snarf wood-baked pizza and calzones. Sushi is a regular item, and there's always -- get this -- a vegan option on the menu. If you're bored waiting for the snackables, you can play pool -- or foosball, that great dot-com cliché -- in the atrium. The walls are decorated with samples of artwork by Pixar employees, and since they, you know, draw for a living, it's not samples of their fourth grader's watercolor art. Slap on the jalapeños at the taco bar, and wash it all down with twelve ounces of microbrew. Man, this could make Steve Jobs more popular than Jesus. Wait. Didn't some other Apple guy say that once?
