Big Delicious Planet

A lot of you have been asking what I’ve been up to since closing BDP after 31 years. Today, on Earth Day, I’m pulling back the curtain — just a little. 👀

For over a decade, BDP was recognized as the most sustainable catering company in the country. We composted, we farmed, and we hosted hundreds of students, companies, and organizations who wanted to learn how we did it. That work never left me, and I really enjoyed talking about it.

So I went back to school at the beginning of last year to learn more about what we were already doing. I completed an intensive Sustainable Business Strategy program at Stanford — and now I’m channeling all of it into something new.
I’m not ready to reveal everything yet, but I am ready to share this fun and dirty project that has become a passion project for me:

🗑️ Let’s Trash Talk™: The Seven Day Kitchen Waste Reset

📅 Monday, May 18 | 9 AM – 12 PM

This 3-hour workshop is designed for anyone operating or working in a commercial kitchen who’s ready to get serious about waste. Because the amount commercial kitchens throw away every single day? It’s staggering — and it doesn’t have to be.

There’s no judgment here. No kitchen is perfect. But if we each reset our patterns, the collective impact could be massive. 🌎

🎟️ Tickets are on sale now on Eventbrite — link in bio.

Thank you to my friends at WasteNot Compost for being a presenting partner on this. 🙌

After 31 incredible years, Big Delicious Planet is closing at the end of 2025.
This company has been my life’s work — built with so much love, creativity, and a whole lot of passion. I’m endlessly grateful to everyone who’s been part of our journey. What a beautiful ride it’s been! 🥂
