Grazing the garbage-filled menu at WastED, a pop-up restaurant meant to bring awareness to food waste.
The menu at the experimental pop-up restaurant WastED, which recently had an 18-day run inside Blue Hill's Manhattan location, came fully loaded with synonyms for garbage. Diners could choose a dumpster dive vegetable salad with damaged apples and pears; two dishes served up cuts of waste-fed pigs, one with a side of waste kraut. Even the items that didn't directly call something trash employed terms suggesting that what you're about to eat is table scraps. Pockmarked potatoes, melba toast from yesterday's oatmeal, yesterday's bread, reject carrot mustard, and mystery vegetables are all on offer.
