Tomorrow marks the official launch of the South Jersey Green Restaurant Group (SJGRP), a new coalition of over-the-bridge restaurants focusing on enviro-friendly business practices. Inaugural members Andreotti’s Viennese Café (Cherry Hill), Tortilla Press (Collingswood), Dante’s Bar (Barrington), Blueplate (Mullica Hill) and Blackbird (Collingswood) aim to greenify restaurant operations from the bottom up — they’re doing everything from implementing aggressive recycling programs and relying on sustainable seafood/local produce to switching over to energy-efficient kitchen equipment.
The group will kick off its initiatives with an event at SJGRP founder Joe Palombo’s Mirabella Café (Barclay Farms Shopping Center, 210 E. Route 70, Cherry Hill) tomorrow, April 21, from 4 to 7. Guests can sample organic dishes, check out a sustainable seafood cooking demo from Palombo and more.
