I found my article in Specialty Food Magazine, but I couldnt find it online. It was in the Food Trends section of the Jan/Feb 2010 edition.
It describecd an eco-friendly fish resource, which is www.fishchoice.com. Its a site where chefs and retailers would register quickly for free, and find themselves environmentally responsible seafood suppliers all spelled out in front of them.
The article describes how impressive the capabilities are on this site, with over 300 products from 130 suppliers by species, name, origin, minimum order and some other specs. It helps out those chefs who may want to make responsible decisions about what they are serving on their menus, but who struggle to find those responsible sources. FishChoice will find a sustainable option for you.
The second thing I have to bring to the blog is about an Ad I saw in Nation's Restaurant News Magazine, It was a bit of an older periodical I came across from Oct 5, 2009. It was advertising naturally disposable gloves, by FoodHandler. You can find out some information about it by clicking here. What it comes down to is that they have developed a glove (and plastic 'bakery' bags) that could be thrown in with other compost items, just as if it were any other piece of biodegrable material waste. These gloves are good for fine dining and QSR alike, reducing waste and our carbon footprints. Think of all the cases of gloves a restaurant is capable of going through! It'd be interesting to find out prices of a case of these gloves, vs regular food service gloves any typical restaurant orders just as a comparison.
