Everybody Eats general manager Nick Loosely has launched a modern version of doggy bags to encourage restaurant goers to take home leftovers and donate to the food charity. A recent survey by Love Food, Hate Waste found that 87 per cent of respondents wanted to be offered a doggy bag if they couldn’t finish their meal, but only 5 per cent of them had ever been brave enough to ask for one. “So now we have a lot of plate wastage. We are throwing away a lot of really good food that is procured by chefs, prepared by chefs. Some of the top chefs in the country are having their food ordered and then thrown in the bin, and we think that is really bad.”
