Fandango Catering and Events to Provide Sustainable Catering at Discovery Green Event

We are honored to have been chosen to provide sustainable catering for an expected 1,500 guests at this year's Family Day event at Discovery Green on Sept. 10, 2011.

Family Day, sponsored by Houston City Council Member James Rodríguez in partnership with community organizations, is an annual event for families at the start of the school year with family and children's activities and educational booths highlighting career opportunities.

This year's career theme is "Green Careers."

Our sustainable catering for this event will reduce its carbon footprint by nearly 40%.  Our sustainable catering procedures for the event will include:

  • 100% biodegradable packaging of box lunches and salsa station cups
  • Recycled, non-bleached paper napkins
  • Local produce used in box lunches
  • Continuous refilling of box lunches from our downtown kitchen to avoid using electric generators at the park to keep food fresh
  • House-made baked not fried tortilla chips

At Fandango we have long advocated for and practiced sustainable catering and we are honored to be able to demonstrate the use of sustainable catering methods at large public events as well as smaller private events.

On the menu:

  • Turkey and Cheese Wraps with Chipotle Ranch Dressing
  • Roasted Vegetables and Herbed Cheese on Ciabatta
  • Pesto Chicken, Cheese, and Tomato Wraps with Herbed Mayo
  • Santa Fe Chicken Wraps with Grilled Chicken, Tomato, and Lime-Poblano Crema
  • House-Made Baked Tortilla Chips and House-Made Roasted Tomato and Jalapeño Salsa
  • Raspberry Cream Cheese Brownies
  • Cookie Assortment

Warmly,
