What a great idea, Diane – lucky for everyone! I’m amazed they go through 200-250 lbs of food in just a couple days… You must have lots of chickens, or they eat more than I ever imagined!

I pick-up the “compost” bags of produce/kitchen prep from my local health food store/rest. and feed it to my chickens. They think they’ve hit pay dirt during the winter months. The bags sometimes weigh as much as 50lbs and I get 4-5 at a time. My girls go through it in a day or two!!! Makes for wonderful healthy eggs!

This is great!!! I wish more restaurants did this. I wonder if there is a way to get this to happen in NJ?

i have worked in the food industry for almost 30 years… and ive never seen so much food waste from a kitchen … maybe if they looked at their menu and portion size … they wouldnt have so much waste to feed the chickens?

just a thought?

Boy, lucky chickens!! I wouldn’t mind some scraps from the Bijou =)
I would think LA would have something like this in the works.

You might like one of their muffins to go w/those eggs, MsBetty, and you wouldn’t have to travel here to get one! Kathleen shared it with the story, the link is just above.

Very cool service! I too worked in the bar and restaurant business for years and the amount of food thrown away is staggering. There was a bus boy that would take some of the uneaten corn, beans and other veggies home for his chickens… but this seems like a far better system!

Aside from all that – I am strangely starving for eggs and hash browns
