Earth Day 2011

Tue, 19 Apr 2011 05:00:00 GMT

Green is always in style at Mario Batali, Lidia and Joe Bastianich’s B&B Hospitality Group, as well as at Eataly, but in honor of this year’s Earth Day (Friday, April 22nd), sustainability will be interpreted in a myriad of ways. Each restaurant under the umbrella of B&B Hospitality Group (in New York, LA and Las Vegas) has created a special Earth Day menu or dish, highlighting what aspects of sustainability are most important to them.

Obviously, Earth Day is only one day of the year (though in our group we like to think we honor it everyday), but it is a day we can utilize to highlight our commitment to the earth. To pass our commitment on to our guests, we have gone one step further: we are sending every customer home with a little piece of our sustainable spirit. Every customer who dines with a B&B restaurant on Earth Day will take home a custom BBHG seed packet of the versatile Italian staple, arugula, to grow in his or her home or garden. “Will this cure Earth’s problem? Of course not,” says Mario Batali. “But is it an easy introduction to do-it-yourself Save-the-Earth 101? Most definitely! And don’t forget, arugula is delicious.”

For Earth Day we'll be featuring a Tasting Menu at Casa Mono:

"Locally Raised Goat with Spring Onions"

First Course: Coach farm goat cheese with ramps, basil oil, fried bread crostini & black pepper

Second Course: Goat loin tartare with melted spring onion sofrito, chives & pickled pearls

Third Course: Confit goat with young green garlic, goat cuajada (yogurt sauce) & micro greens

We celebrate Earth Day all year around utilizing the Union Square Greenmarket for meat, dairy and produce. Our Earth Day menu features local produce from the following farms:

Bodhitree, LynnHaven, Rick Bishop, Paffenroth, Coach Farms, Lani's,Hawthorne, John Madura

Meatless Mondays

Sat, 29 May 2010 05:00:00 GMT

Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich are joining the Meatless Monday Movement! Meatless Monday is a non-profit public health initiative of The Monday Campaigns, in association with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The goal is to help people reduce their meat consumption by 15% to improve personal health and the health of the planet. On average, Americans consume 8 ounces of meat per day – 45% more than the USDA recommends. Going meatless once a week can reduce your risk of chronic preventable conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. It can also help limit your carbon footprint and save precious resources like fresh water and fossil fuel. Mario and Joe are just two of the big names in food that have decided to join the campaign, celebrities and leaders such as Michael Pollan, Al Gore, Sir Paul McCartney and Gwyneth Paltrow are backing the movement and the entire city of San Francisco just signed on to participate. Every Monday, beginning May 3rd, our restaurants will offer a vegetarian pasta especially in honor of Meatless Monday.

____ For more information or questions on the B&B Hospitality Group joining Meatless Mondays, email Elizabeth Meltz - ermeltz@bandbhg.com For more information on the Meatless Monday movement, email info@meatlessmonday.com

Bastianich & Batali Restaurant Group Celebrate The Earth...One Delicious Meal At Time

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 05:00:00 GMT

This year marks the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day and an unprecedented opportunity for individuals and businesses to celebrate the changes we’ve made and our plans for future innovations for a greener world.

The Batali and Bastianich Hospitality Group has eleven Certified Green Restaurants®, a company-wide bottled water ban and farmer’s market driven menus, and we’d like to invite you to celebrate Earth Day with us at Casa Mono/Bar Jamon.

Our menu would not be possible without our meat purveyors that supply us with fresh, well raised animals, or our fish monger that offers sustainable species that are not just from the waters of our over-fished coastline, but those that are in abundance in other parts of the world and caught humanely. And then there is the constant supply of amazing looking and tasting organic produce from the Union Square Greenmarket that always satisfies our constantly changing seasonal menu. In fact, we like to think that we're celebrating Earth Day all year long.

Visit us at the Earth Day 2010 Action Center and join our campaign to celebrate Earth Day, one sustainable bite at a time. For more information, please click here.
