BYOC
Why DIY Take Out? First, this process will cut down on cost but, more importantly, waste. Empty food containers are mounting. Take a look at the contents of a trash can spilled over by bears! YIKES! Diners are leaving food on the table, reluctant to encourage this trash making process!
Plus, in the Quench! case, "bring your own container is a "lived tradition." John says when he grew up in Napa, IT was less about wine and more about family and everyday life. Farnum Kerr, John's father was a Civil Engineer. One of the high end wineries wanted a road that was not visible from the main road but could handle the weight of trucks delivering equipment and barrels. Farnum mastered it, just one of the projects for which he was honored both in California and Internationally. Mewnwhile back at home, there were five kids.
A small Italian restaurant in the back of Lawler's Liquor Store was all the rage keeping the residents stoked up on "Malfatti," and lightening the work load on a busy burgeoning wine town with this quick convenience. Malfatti is the remnants of making Ravioli. When you press down the mold to produce Ravioli squares, there remains a little sausage shaped Ravioli all around the edges. It was filled with the same filling but had this malformed shape. Instead of tossing these, they simmered them in the same homemade Italian sauce used for the well done Raviolis and sold them by the pound! But then the magic happens! Customers were encouraged to bring their own pots and pans to pick up take out. So, Malfatti went form shop to stove! Easy.
I asked Sam about BYOC. And he said "Let's Do it!"
While we will still package up your order, you can now bring your own container to Quench! for take out. The difference in the "Malfatti" experience, is that Quench! can also pair a wine with your order!
