Springtime – the season of renewal. A return to longer days, lighter flavors in the kitchen, and festive feasts. Whether it’s a St Patrick’s theme for lunch, or Mardi Gras happy hour, Epicurean Group knows how to celebrate the seasons with our clients.

For in-season selections all year-long, consider a LiveWell station, * Epicurean Group’s answer to a better salad bar. With colorful descriptions of portion size and creative ways to assemble the perfect bowl, eaters get help as they travel through the lunch line. LiveWell stations offer fewer options than many bars on purpose (reduces waste), but more things to do with them. “Show-plates” teach composed salads, well-balanced for flavor, texture and nutrition. There’s also “best choice” suggestions for eaters with food allergies. Designed like a painters-palette, LiveWell challenges eaters to assemble with new possibilities and a rainbow of colors. Guided by the Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen, LiveWell stations reduce pesticides and increase organic offerings, all while getting the most out of your food service budget.

Wishing you a pot o’ gold and all the joy your heart can hold.
