Former Rainbow Lodge Chef Wins Green Business Award

June 11, 2010, The Austin Business Journal presented its annual Going Green Awards to area businesses at a gala breakfast. Former chef Jimmy Mitchell (of Rainbow Lodge and The Valley Oaks Food and Wine Center at Fetzer Winery) was presented with the Green Business Award in recognition of his green efforts, From the Earth to the Table, and back to the Earth restaurant program.  Less than a year ago, Mitchell hung up his toque and kitchen whites to open Restaurant Recyclers to help restaurant kitchens in Austin go Green. Mitchell's dream to start Restaurant Recyclers came many years ago when he noticed just how much waste one restaurant generated, and realized that it all ended up in landfills. Not only is his goal to help restaurants recycle their cardboard, tin, glass and food waste, he will turn that food waste into compost supplying Austin’s “Dillo dirt” program. "From the Earth to the Table and back to the Earth," stated Mitchell, "is the cycle of life." Mitchell plans to bring Restaurant Recyclers to Houston within the next 12 months.

Ghosts, goblins, and gorgeous party goers, there is no better place than Mo’s A Place For Steaks in the posh Galleria area of Houston, Texas.

Saturday, April 24th the place to be was Mo’s for the first annual “Halfway To Halloween” party event.  Why wait until October to get all decked out in costume and celebrate for a fun evening of pure and devilish decadence...hmmm.  Party guests enjoyed cocktails, appetizers, live music and a cash prize costume contest because “why not??”.  This place is quickly becoming Houston’s ultimate steak house and staple for elite, exciting, and original nightlife.   Check out all of the party pics in our social gallery.  Do party goers have game when it comes to costume creativity?  You be the referee! 

Watch out Halloween….I think you are in for a real big trick or treat!
