@businessinsider: At 5 a.m. in Northern Virginia, chefs are already preparing chicken and chile roja enchiladas, fried shrimp tacos, and big batches of rice and beans to feed thousands of data center construction workers. By late morning, a crew brings the food from the off-site kitchen to a break tent where workers can pick up lunch without leaving the worksite. They don't pay: The Big Tech companies spending billions on AI infrastructure foot the bill. On an average day, National Jobsite Catering serves about 1,500 meals at each of its dozen data center construction sites across Northern Virginia, Texas, Ohio, Louisiana, Nevada, and Georgia. The busiest sites serve twice as many. After one to three years, the crews wrap up and move on. National Jobsite Catering is part of the economic ecosystem being generated by America's data center boom. The room where a worker sleeps, the gym he hits before his shift, his parking spot, his lunch — these are all provided by a growing network of businesses.
