Charlie Ayers got the ball rolling in 1999 when he became the first executive chef at the Mountain View headquarters of that search engine giant. The delicious foundation he established helped nurture and lure a host of culinary stars. Now, Ayers is set to open his first restaurant, Calafia Cafe and Market A Go-Go in Palo Alto’s Town & Country Village. Although anticipated to open this month, due to construction delays, it will most likely open in January now.

The actual magazine story spotlights 10 of Google’s famed food and wine leaders in a cool, flashy layout. The online version doesn’t have quite the same colorful impact, but still includes the fun text.  Enjoy!
