At VietHarvest, our mission extends beyond rescuing surplus food – we aim to inspire a more sustainable and conscious approach to food consumption. This vision culminates in our upcoming Zero Waste Dinner on May 17th at the vibrant Lubu Restaurant in Thao Dien, Ho Chi Minh City. More than just a meal, this event is a celebration of culinary creativity, environmental responsibility, and community impact. Join us as we delve into the concept behind this unique dining experience, introduce the talented chefs who are bringing it to life, and acknowledge the invaluable support of our partners.
The Zero Waste Philosophy: More Than Just a Trend
The global food waste crisis is staggering – one-third of all food produced is wasted, costing a trillion dollars annually. Vietnam faces a significant challenge, ranking second in Asia for food waste, with Ho Chi Minh City alone discarding 5,000 tonnes daily. This waste contributes to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions and exacerbates food insecurity. Our Zero Waste Dinner offers a delicious and impactful solution, demonstrating that sustainability and fine dining can go hand-in-hand. This immersive dining experience showcases sustainable food practices.
Meet the Culinary Maestros: A Symphony of Flavors
We are honored to partner with a team of exceptional chefs for this event. Julien Perraudin (Quince Saigon), Tran Ba Kiet (Lubu Restaurant), and Tru Lang (Mua Craft Sake), all renowned chefs in Ho Chi Minh City’s culinary scene, will collaborate with guest culinary enthusiast Antonis Tsakiridis to present a Greek-inspired menu. Their innovative approach transforms often-discarded ingredients into culinary masterpieces, proving that sustainability never compromises on flavor.
