With all the ink over green hotels and LEED-certified buildings, it's kinda refreshing to see a hotel chain implement green food. Not with food coloring, but with an approach to cuisine that is local, sustainable, and trans-fat free.
The RockResorts chain has just rolled out its Appetite for Life program -- which translates to exclusively offering Coleman natural products (all free-range, organic, natural meats and poultry), Horizon Organic Dairy products, sustainable seafood and fish, and fairtrade coffee (including organic Starbucks Serena coffee).
And no trans fats! Anti-trans-fats Mayor Mike Bloomberg of New York City would be so proud.
Chefs on-site at several RockResorts properties, including Keystone Lodge & Spa in Colorado, The Hotel Jerome in Aspen, The Landings in St. Lucia, and La Posada de Sante Fe in New Mexico, are tweaking the Appetite for Life programs.
Using local fishermen, farmers' cooperatives, nearby farm produce, this is apparently just the beginning. Soon there will be local organic wines and microbrewed beers, biodegradable flatware and containers, and even a program to give back to local communities and food banks.
And no trans fats!
