have you ever wondered about what inspires Zynga employees to create? One of the things that motivates team members might surprise you. Are you ready? Food!

At Zynga headquarters in San Francisco Bay the employees are treated to original meals meant to inspire ideas and bring together team members.  The employee behind the daily food inspiration is Chef Matthew DuTrumble. He cooks to amaze and inspire co-workers. Chef Matthew works hard to please his fellow team members. He also works on the Farmville cookbook which is a collection of recipes submitted from players that are based on dishes inspired from the FV2 game.

Have a tour of Zynga's employee eating experience:

Zynga's kitchen
 The kitchen at Zynga is a very professional restaurant. They even have a brewmaster!

The cafeteria dining room
 Peek into Zynga's dining room for employees. Isn't the tunnel great?

Topside view of cafeteria dining room
This is the topside view. Notice that it is quite spacey but at the same time invites everyone to sit together. One of the things that is encouraged at Zynga is to bond with team members. Lunch break is a great time for that to happen.

Buffet tables
The buffet tables hold various delicious items to pick and choose from. Grab your tray, a pair of prongs, and grab away!

Lots of choices with the buffet tables
 Did I mention that all of the food is free? It's one of the perks of working at a tech company in the Bay area.  Note the I.D. tags. Never forget it at home! Otherwise no free food. :<

The taps at Zynga
The drink choices are just as fun as the buffets. Here you can see that the Ice Tea is pictured as the famous rapper himself. Also, many Zynga dog mascots for lemonade, ginger ale, kambucha, raspberry soda  etc.

Hot sauce on the house
These are a few of the condiments available. The hot sauces pictured above are actually made with fresh ingredients picked from the garden that sits on top of the roof of the Zynga building. Healthy stuff!

I hope you enjoyed a peek into Zynga's dining experience. Well fed employees are happy ones that strive to be creative and work hard to make an enjoyable gaming experience for players everywhere.

Thanks for visiting Castleville Legend
