Thinking Out of the Box: What to do with left over food from S…
Last night I had a dream about what to do with left over food at Simchas. Do you think it can work?

also a great idea!
it should been free or give it to the homeless—why sell it?
But if it is anyway going to be thrown out.
Not everyone does that and making a Simcha can be expensive and this could help cut costs and people that went out to join in the Simcha can bring home takeout.
Yumm
it is a great idea because a lot of people do need food after a wedding, and not always is there available or a caterer who wants to bother with it, but if he makes money ….
Not crazy, but you need to see what the caterers usually do with the leftovers…
Amazing idea
thanks, Yankee Teitelbaum—better than selling it!
Mary Ellen, so if you are a guest who has traveled to a wedding and are going back to the hotel afterwards. sometimes the simcha will provide food, most times not, you might have to go to the kitchen and try to get a waiter to give you the left over. but if there is a system in place, it might work. also perhaps people will not want to make the meal the next day, say it’s a thursday night wedding and you can get your shabbos dips and soup etc…
yup!!
I think this can also work for Fundraising dinners, another way for the organizations to make some extra money.
Sure. Great idea
Great idea. I’d buy the food!
Good idea
Doesn’t the Bride and Groom usually take home the leftovers?
How much can they eat already?
We gave away our leftovers to the needy through לקט ישראל Leket Israel after all three of our Smachot
Last night I had a dream that I ate all the leftover food in the world.I awoke and my pillow was gone
Very funny
That’s not a bad idea Nachum. As Aviva said, Leket comes to your simcha hall, and picks up all the leftover food, and distributes it to the needy, which is amazing.
Idk about what happens in Israel but in NY many if not most caterers give the food away to the needy. Plus i doubt the caterer would want to sit there and package the food into individual containers for people. Also i would ask a Bal Simcha how he would feel about food being sold at his child’s wedding as opposed to just giving it away. Nachum Kligman let me know what you think.
That’s exactly it. It is doing things differently that has not been done, but could create a win/win. #thinkdifferently

Hey Nachum! We are coming to Israel this summer in August!!! My step-son is getting married!!! Sent you a pm, via messenger
You should be calling Leket Israel they do meal recovery!
Nothing in it for the caterer. Why would they want to?
To bring on new clients buy offering a way to please their guests and to save money
Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Alimghty we are free at last!
IMHO, most caterers will not deal with it due to liability issues if the food goes bad – as it’s been out for many, many hours.
Hmm…
