Where's the Beef?

Originally, we were going to have beef as part of our menu, because that's just what you usually see on Reception menus. But then upon thinking about it, we decided otherwise.

Matt is a Vegetarian, and largely because of environmental reasons. And the methane produced by cows is one of the biggest producers of greenhouse gases. We found poultry and fish to be more environmentally friendly (and healthier!).

In the spirit of our food philosophy (yeah, I know, we have a 'food philosophy'), the food is going to be local, in season and organic where ever possible. When food is local and in season, there is less carbon dioxide transmitted in transporting them (because they don't have far to go!).

Yup, we're bringing our California hippie ways to the Philadelphia!



And evidently everyone wants to know what "Mediterranean Gratin" is!

Our caterer had quite a lot of Vegetarian options, but Matt always likes Vegetarian dishes with a good protein. So the protein in this case is lentils and it's served with tomatoes, potatoes, olives and cheese. So if that sounds good to you, then have at it.

But no matter what form of non-beef you're eating, we hope it's all just yummy in the end!
