The Big Waste

Episode WVSP01H

First class chefs Bobby Flay, Michael Symon, Anne Burrell and Alex Guarnaschelli tackle one of the most massive problems in food today - waste! Divided into two teams, with only 48 hours on the clock, they are challenged to create a multi course gourmet banquet worthy of their great reputations, but with a big twist; they can only use food that is on its way to the trash. The chefs' hunt takes them from grocery aisles to produce farms, and orchard lines to garbage piles, as they attempt to source enough ingredients to feed a gathering crowd. Bobby and Michael square off against Anne and Alex, as they challenge their views of food waste and how and why it is created.

The S'markets HAVE to sell yoghurts/cheese etc at fraction of price. TIP It will last for weeks-months if still packed. Look at beef-you can tell. veg will last- cut bad bits off.

In this economy cost cutting measures are a priority-I make my own soups so veggies are a good bargain in the mark down aisle-I eat 1-3 vegan meals a week and only eat beef 2 times a month.
Found a great mushroom burger recipe just send a pm and i'll send it too ya-Have a great night
