Hot topics and cool implementations

My new (Fall Equinox, 2008) issue is out and full of hot topics and cool implementations! From "going green" and installing solar panels to crafting high end menus with fresh, sustainable, local foods, there's a lot happening in the Northeast.

Others may focus on the doom and gloom of a down economy but I prefer to look on the bright side, at all the bright people in our industry who are doing creative, exciting and innovative things in a variety of areas from food prep to FOH to building energy-efficiency into their operations.

The times have changed, as the president of the Green Restaurant Association points out, from saying "we should do this" to "how do we do this." It's a dramatic shift that will ultimately save operators money and help save the planet at the same time.

What could be better? Check out my page 1 story by downloading the new issue at www.foodserviceeast.com.

Non-Operator Comment by Keith Bernhardt on September 14, 2008 at 7:30pm: Hi Susan
Good topic.

You're so right. We do not need to live in the doldrums regarding the economy.
We must think positive. We can manipulate or stimulate the economy or
let the economy manipulate us.

We all have to take advantage of our smarts and our creative nature to help turn the economy around.

There is a great deal of brain power on this board, and I am thankful for it.
