CHEF's CORNER
Encore
310 Restaurant and Rafati’s catering divisions are very concerned
with the impact our business makes on our environment. In an effort
to reduce our carbon footprint we follow a stringent recycling and
composting program in our restaurant and catering kitchens.
We strive for total utilization of our products. When something must
be discarded, we look first to the compost bin where we can throw
all paper and food products. Next, if we cannot compost, is the
recycle bin that accepts all cardboard, plastics, metal and glass.
Very little is left to be discarded as garbage.
Our environmental responsibility continues with our purchasing:
compostable disposables when china/glass/ stainless/silver/linens
are not possible in our catering services, and meats, fish,
groceries and other supplies purchased from the best local farm and
artisan sources as close to home base as possible. We are always on
the look out for ways to increase our participation in keeping
beautiful Portland green!
