Bittersweet Greenware a Smart Alternative

In today’s environmentally conscious society, Bittersweet is proud to be the first to offer biodegradable dinnerware for your catered meals. We are aware of the amount of post consumer waste created by foodservice packaging, and are taking this first step to allow your company to “go green” with us.

Both our plates and cutlery are biodegradable, compostable and of course, FDA approved for food use. Your dinnerware today will turn into useful rich compost within 60 – 180 days.

We now offer you three ways to be earth friendly:

  • decline our standard plasticware if unneeded, or your office provides its own
  • ask your sales representative to substitute our Greenware for a nominal up charge.
  • save your disposable chafing dish racks, and next time just ask for sterno and empty pans!

We hope you will partner with Bittersweet to do our part in keeping waste to a minimum while still enjoying our services. Give us a call today to place your order, and ask about Greenware!

A Little Something on the Side

It’s okay to admit you sometimes like a little something (fresh) on the side. Bittersweet has the perfect accompaniments for your Corporate Sandwich Lunch or Corporate Salad Package. You can bet you’ll receive rave reviews.

 

  • Our Aloha Salad is a cool refreshing twist on the usual fruit salad, with fresh chunked pineapple tossed with dried cranberries, raspberry puree, and orange zest. Come to the islands!!
  • Introducing our NEW Lemon Basil Angel Hair Pasta Salad. We've received so many requests to offer this side salad thru catering; we just had to add it to the list. Featuring angel hair pasta tossed with basil, cherry tomatoes, and lemon vinaigrette – the perfect addition to any lunch package as a light side!

 

  • If you’re a Potatohead, then you better give our conveniently named, Summer Potato Salad a try. Red Bliss potatoes, artichoke hearts, steamed asparagus, and celery tossed in a tarragon-Dijon vinaigrette – an employee favorite and a delicious take on traditional potato salad if we don’t say so ourselves!

  • You’re a cool cucumber...so why not indulge in our refreshingly healthy Dill and Yogurt Cucumber Salad. A bite sized cucumber salad mixed with dill and yogurt for a creamy, crunchy salad without the guilt!

Summer Lovin'

Summer always reminds us of the small pleasures in life – grilling outdoors, refreshing ice cold beverages, fresh fruit and vegetables, baseball, and longer lazier days. This compelled us to learn a thing or two about our favorite summer foods while school’s not in session.

  • The average American eats approximately 60 hot dogs, and approximately 20 billion pickles!
  • Each year about 20 billion coconuts are produced worldwide – give our Coconut Dream Cake a try and you’ll see why they are in such demand!
  • 95% of the entire lemon crop produced in the U.S. is from California and Arizona, and the heavier the lemon, the more tastier the juice - try our Homemade Old Fashioned Lemonade or any of our other homemade brews. Buy 1, Get 1 for the month of August!!
  • Americans eat 45 billion sandwiches a year, and requests for custom made sandwiches rise 15% per year. Take a look at any of our Corporate Lunch packages and upgrade your sandwich tray to our delicious Premium Sandwiches to mix things up from the norm!
  • The most popular meal ordered in U.S. restaurants is fried chicken. When you’re feeling a craving, try our All American Picnic Package
