South of Beale is the latest restaurant to be certified by Project Green Fork, a nonprofit organization that encourages restaurants to use environmentally friendly practices. In order to be certified, SOB had to
- Have sustainable products in place
- Set up a recycling program
- Set up kitchen composting
- Replace toxic cleaners with non-toxic ones
- Complete an audit by MLGW, and based on their findings, take steps to consume less energy and water
- Take steps to prevent pollution
Congratulations to SOB on this fine accomplishment. Other Downtown restaurants certified by PGF include Blue Fin and the kitchen at Miss Cordelia’s.
