Our Chief Culinary Officer, Devon Quinn, brings a sustainability mindset to every part of the kitchen, including greenhouse cultivation, fermenting, pickling, and preserving.<\/p><p>Devon\u2019s work in our on-site greenhouse supports year-round growth of herbs, edible flowers, and specialty produce that find their way into Paramount Events menus with exceptional flavor and minimal food miles.<\/p><p>But sustainability doesn\u2019t stop at harvest. To make the most of seasonal produce and reduce food waste even further, Devon uses time-honored techniques like fermenting and pickling to preserve leftover produce so it can be reused in creative ways. From house-made condiments to complex sauces and side elements. In a recent food feature, he described turning a surplus of garlic chives into kimchi and fermenting blueberries into a jus, while also repurposing pickle brine and other kitchen ingredients into new applications.<\/p><p>These practices not only extend ingredient life and reduce waste, but also deepen the flavor profiles in our culinary offerings. Exemplifying how thoughtful kitchen techniques can support both sustainability and elevated hospitality.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fca924 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1fca924\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Everyday Sustainability at Every Scale<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a960512 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a960512\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Whether it\u2019s a large-scale hospitality buildout or a weekday drop-off order, sustainability is embedded in how we operate.<\/p><p>Locally sourced ingredients, herbs grown in our on-site greenhouse, compostable packaging, and water-saving practices are just a few of the ways we lead with intention every day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb7fcdc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fb7fcdc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sustainability Is a Shared Effort<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dca0f6e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dca0f6e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNone of this is possible without our clients, team, and partners who share our values and help us turn goals into action.
