Ideal Bite

Appreciate the extra effort takeout places put into burying your lo mein under a 4-inch stack of napkins? We don't either (we're not that bad with chopsticks). Now you can lose that pile thanks to Eco to Go, an organization helping participating restaurants like Dallas BBQ, Grace's Marketplace, and A La Turka to make an effort to cut down on waste. Just say, "make that eco-to-go, please," and get your takeout with minimum packaging, fewer napkins, and no plastic utensils (not even a spork). And if your fave lo mein locale isn't on the list, ask it to join, ‘cuz all of this adds up to a lot less landfill mileage...and lots more trees.
