“How I Got Off Bleach”: A Sustainable Operations 1-2-3 for Restaurant Owners Restaurant owners, chefs and line cooks gather ‘round as David Selig, owner of RICE restaurants, details the why, how and how much of transitioning his restaurants off industrial chemical cleaners while still meeting NYC inspection criteria and improving the experience of his customers and employees. You’ll return to your kitchens with a guide to purchasing organic kitchen cleaning products from NYC-vendors and opportunities to sign-up for free, city-wide compost hauling and cooking-oil recycling services (they both come to you). And all this in time for you to make the dinner rush back at your place. RICE snacks and sips will be available during this industry-only program. |
