ISES NJ South Events

Go Green Catering!

“Go Green!” “What are you doing to be Green?” “Is your Caterer Green?” Whatever the mantra or question, “GO GREEN” is on everyone’s mind these days. You are asking your township; your family and friends are asking everyone; and most importantly, your clients are asking you how your events are green. By now we all know that there are many ways to GO GREEN in every aspect of what we do and that a little bit goes a far way. We also know that the more we can offer to our clients as a GREEN alternative, the happier they are. What we may not know are the details in how to this.

We are excited to educate you on green catering. Joe Palombo, Owner and Chef of Joe Palombo’s Mirabella Café, is now offering green catering. He is on the board for Sustainable Cherry Hill and is also the creator of the new SJ Green Restaurant Association (to be launched in April 2009 just in time for Earth Day). He knows a lot about KEEPING IT GREEN. Chef Palombo will be here to tell us what we need to know about ensuring that the GREEN we offer our clients is authentically green. He will answer our questions on what he and local caterers should be doing to go green, stay green and be a valuable resource to our clients. Additionally, he can help us to keep our entire event green including how to find local green resources like venues, vendors and more.

Do not miss this valuable opportunity to learn about green catering!

Thank you for your support of the ISES New Jersey South Chapter and we look forward to seeing you on April 16th!

SPEAKERS

Chef Palombo’s almost 30 years in the business spans being an assistant chef, head chef and executive chef as well as management within Lamberti Restaurant Group and marketing and managing the opening of popular South Jersey restaurants.

Mirabella Café is dedicated to the unequivocal celebration of life through good food, good company, and welcoming hospitality. They can provide linens, china service, or ice carvings, and professional staff to keep your event running smoothly. Additionally, they can also arrange to order tables, chairs, or tents for your outside event and provide complete bar service as needed. They cater off premise at anytime, for any style function and in any location.
