An unforgettable "all taste, no waste" dining experience with celebrity chefs & sustainability experts

Join Waste Free Greenwich for our first-ever Zero Waste Dinner, an unforgettable evening of "all taste, no waste" where gourmet dining meets sustainable innovation.

Enjoy a multi-course feast prepared by local celebrity chefs, including:

  • Frederic Kieffer, Executive Chef and Partner of l’escale
  • Terry Walters, Bestselling cookbook author, chef and educator
  • Paul Clarke, Director of Food Services at Greenwich Country Day School
  • Juan Benitez, Chef and owner of Juan’s Table

Each dish is crafted from surplus or reimagined ingredients that would otherwise be discarded, proving that delicious food and zero waste go hand-in-hand.The main event of the evening is the "Tossed" Zero Waste Cooking Competition, where Greenwich's top chefs will face off in a sustainable showdown, turning scrappy ingredients into culinary masterpieces. From the natural table décor to the eco-friendly service ware, every detail is designed to delight your senses and inspire new habits without creating waste.

The Waste Free Greenwich team, including event co-chairs Anne Drake and Sara Keller, will guide guests through the program to inspire waste free practices. Hear from sustainability expert Thomas McQuillan, and discover how Dr. Manasa Mantravadi of Ahimsa is transforming school lunch with reusable trays. Celebrate with us as we present Sally Davies with a lifetime Waste Warrior Award, and take in live music from Rick Crossman.

For five years, Waste Free Greenwich has been a driving force for change in our community. Now, it's time to celebrate our collective impact and build a greener tomorrow in Greenwich. Your attendance will directly support the mission of Waste Free Greenwich.

Don't miss this chance to eat, celebrate, and create a waste-free future for our community!
