Bill Gates House

It's funny how things seem to come full circle. Just to give you a little background info, I am an administrative assistant at a very exclusive country club in Menlo Park (top 100 in the nation); and our chef is one of the top chef's in the world. Anyway, we took our boss out to lunch today to celebrate Boss' Day, and we got on the conversation of Bill Gates. So I mentioned what we discussed in class yesterday about the technology in Bill Gates' house.


Then Chef begins talking about the locator that you have to wear, the art on the walls and temperature preferences. It turns out he was with the Gates' for a week interviewing to be their personal chef. See full circle. He was explaining about the technology in his house, and the ridiculous size of the house. He explained that the locator was mainly for security, and that you had to have high status with Bill to have anything change in the house. Not to mention Bill always gets priority. So if you're strolling through one of his over sized rooms with him, don't expect to see your favorite artist on the wall. So how does the story end? Well they really liked Chef, but they wanted another chef to go up against him for a comparison. They looked for three months for someone that could compare to chef. Then it turns out a friend of Bill's old chef was looking for a job, so they hired him because it was a friend of a friend sort of thing. So what does Chef do? Becomes the personal chef of Steve Jobs of course...go figure!
