I wouldn't go that far. Their employees may eat lunch at work, but they still go out after work for drinks with coworkers, or have a team happy hour, and being downtown means they're more likely to do that downtown. Their employees are also more likely to live downtown.

Last time I had dinner at Google my main was tuna taretare with avocado in a pomegranate sauce, I'd like to see the prison that serves that. The breakfast section was piled high with bread from Golden Hearth, probably the best local bakery. Even if run by Aramark the food quality is quite good.
