TRASHED & WASTED: TORONTO<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s a brilliant idea from Brock Shepherd – an event on March 1 to benefit Second Harvest in the most imaginative and appropriate way. Forgive me for merely passing on the press release but it contains everything you need to know.<\/p>\n

A charity event rethinking food waste, repurposing trash, and reclaiming refuse.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0O<\/span><\/span>n March 1, 2017 from 6 to 10pm, the public is invited to join local chefs and food suppliers, <\/span><\/span>designers and innovators at Wychwood Barns in Toronto for a one-day celebration of the <\/span><\/span>sustenance, beauty, and benefits of what was once simply trashed and wasted. Enjoy delicious <\/span><\/span>dishes, cocktails, and treats made from the most unexpected ingredients, and explore installations <\/span><\/span>that will make you rethink your next disposal or purchase. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Trashed & Wasted: Toronto will pair innovative chefs with ethically-minded suppliers to create <\/span><\/span>dishes from rescued food. Local brewers, distillers, and drinks experts will be challenged to concoct libations from repurposed ingredients. Local artists and designers will create booths from disposed and found objects. Local musical groups will share exciting ways to repurpose instruments.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have come to live in a disposable society,\u201d says event coordinator, Brock Shepherd. \u201cAnd rarely is the reckless disposability more shocking than when it comes to food. Every day, tons of edible food is wasted in this city. We allow it to rot in our fridges, grocery stores prematurely dispose of \u2018expired\u2019 products, and restaurants watch bins fill up with perfectly good but uneaten ingredients. And, while so much is thrown out, thousands of people go hungry.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Trashed & Wasted takes its inspiration from the recent Olympic games, during which a Michelin-star chef took leftovers from the athletes\u2019 village and turned them into meals that fed the homeless. Similarly inspiring was the 2015 event, wastED, where a NYC restaurant was temporarily transformed into a pop-up devoted to the theme of food waste and re-use. In 2017, Toronto-based food and beverage innovator Brock Shepherd is bringing these concepts to an event here in our own city.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
