A taste of a Silicon Valley power eatery

By Jeff Caruso

A recent Monday finds me lunching at Il Fornaio in Palo Alto, Silicon Valley's favorite venue for the power lunch. This pleasant little Italian eatery is crawling with tech folks, and most of them are angling for a job.

Take the two gentlemen seated to my right. It's not a formal job interview - just the first, size-each-other-up step. The apparent interviewee is expressing his dissatisfaction with his current employer and tells his lunch partner, "I'm exploring other opportunities." The interviewer pushes him a folder emblazoned with the Sybase logo, and the interviewee leafs through it while polishing off his Insalata del Fornaio (a kind of Caesar salad with massive croutons).

Meanwhile, the women seated behind me are sipping iced teas and chatting about a friend who recently took a job at Lucent, only to be disappointed when the funding for his division didn't materialize. At another table, a man contemplates a career shift - he says he'll take a month off to decide. Seems everyone in the Valley is ready to flee to another job. And who can blame them, when high-tech personnel are in such ludicrously high demand here?

A couple of tables away is a larger group, several suits ganging up with a pitch aimed at a guy in khakis and a denim shirt. I see him listening intently to a slick-haired marketing type and scribbling on a yellow notepad. He's probably an industry analyst, or even (egad!) a high-tech reporter.

They'll let anyone into this place, I think as I lean out of my chair, trying to read the company name on the presentation slides. Does that say "STLS,"or is it "STIS?"

I never did find out, but here are a couple of other tips.

First, if you want to do business in Silicon Valley, you've got to check out Il Fornaio. And secondly, try the tiramisł - it's most excellent.

A legal power trip in Boston

By Neal Weinberg

No respectable power lunch in the Boston area can take place without a hearty bowl of chowdah, that milky broth thick with clams from the sea floor and potatoes from the Maine soil.

And the place to get chowdah - or chowder as it's pronounced outside of New England - is Legal Sea Foods in Cambridge. I found plenty of wheeling and dealing going on there one recent chilly afternoon.

At one table, three Generation X-trepreneurs are passing contracts back and forth, chatting about IPOs and squinting into their cell phones to see if the numbers flashing on their display are from people worthy of callbacks. The answer in all cases: 'No.' Dressed in post-Labor Day casual business attire - black and charcoal gray are all the rage - they do the deal, eat lobster salad rolls and swap airline horror stories.

Nearby, members of a more boisterous crowd blissfully ignore one of the prime manifestos of power lunching - skip the alcohol. Chardonnay seems the beverage of choice for these diners, one of who sounds eerily like actor Joe Pesci. At one point, he bellows: "If you're spending a hundred million dollars, Jesus H. Christ, use your head!"

Of course, these days, thanks to the cell phone, one can conduct business while dining solo. Sure enough, off in the corner, a gentleman formally attired in white shirt, tie and dark suit hunches over his baked scrod, intently discussing business between bites.

Legal's isn't the only place where power lunches occur in the Greater Boston area. The previous day, at Blue Ginger, an eclectic eatery in upscale Wellesley, cell phones rang and pagers buzzed at most tables, while parties drank hot and sour pumpkin soup and nibbled on Mandarin chicken salad with crispy rice noodles. At one table, two men intently debated the merits of digital subscriber line service as a solution to the bandwidth problems they were having at their health care facility.

In Boston, you can power lunch in an upscale neighborhood - but never, ever pour ketchup on lobster.
