Chef Dave Heide of Liliana's and Little John's.
Chef Dave Heide of Liliana's, in Fitchburg, has launched Little John’s Kitchens & Restaurants. The theory is that Little John's cooks for those in need with food that others may not be able to use. Questions that Heide will be addressing in his CHEW talk include: What if we applied a business mindset and innovation within the broken food supply chain? What if nonprofits with meal programs could reduce their costs and have more resources for their direct services? What if the meal programs were more nutritious and delicious? What if at the same time fresh usable food was rescued that would otherwise have been thrown out? Find a link to the Zoom meeting at chewwisconsin.com.
