Scrappy Snack Chat: Flavorful Ways to Fight Food Waste

  • Zingerman's Deli 422 Detroit St. Ann Arbor, MI, 48104 United States (map)

In celebration of the City of Ann Arbor’s 4th Annual A2Zero Week and in collaboration with ZeroWaste.Org and their food waste challenge, we are pleased to invite you to join us at Zingerman’s Greyline for a Scrappy Snack Chat. Together with our Deli Events team, ZeroWaste.Org, and local author Lindsay-Jean Hard, author of Cooking with Scraps, you’ll find out how to make the most of your groceries while making a positive impact on the planet.

Fans of Zingerman’s know our organization has a triple bottom line (Great Food, Great Finance, and Great Service). Lindsay-Jean likes to say that fighting food waste has a triple bottom line too—cooking with scraps is good for your palate, the planet, and your pocketbook! It is estimated that over 92 billion pounds of food are wasted every year in the United States, with the average household wasting around 35% of their food. That means every single one of us can be part of the solution! Learn strategies for storing food properly to maximize its shelf life, tasty tips and tricks for using commonly underutilized produce parts and other edible odds and ends, and why it’s so important to keep food waste out of landfills anyway.

In addition to the conversation, we’ll have a buffet featuring snacks and a mocktail made with kitchen scraps! (Joining the movement to stop wasting food has never tasted so good!) Cash bar available for beer, wine, and cocktails
