The Kitchen is one of America's most eco-friendly restaurants. Here's why.
Wind-Powered Lights Wind farms in Colorado supply electricity for the lights in the restaurant. The chandeliers are made of old crystal found on eBay.
Biodegradable Everything Nearly everything The Kitchen uses is compostable, including the take-out containers, garbage bags, drinking straws, napkins and menus.
Sustainable Purveyors The chalkboard on the wall thanks the restaurant's suppliers, including Fiona for her granola and Monroe Organic Farms, which supplies eggs.
Staff Meals After the restaurant closes, the staff eats any perishable food that may be left over and finishes any open bottles of wine, so nothing goes to waste.
Cotton Hand Towels The Kitchen stocks its bathrooms with cotton towels to keep its use of paper goods to a minimum.
Recycled Furniture The wooden tables were built out of roof rafters salvaged from an old mansion being renovated around the corner from the restaurant.
