CHARLESTON, SC--(Marketwire - Mar 16, 2012) - Joining in the effort to bring creative and nutritious menus to students within Charleston County Schools, the Charleston Marriott is participating in the school district's Lean Team School Lunch Recipe Challenge.
This Charleston, SC hotel has been instrumental in contributing to the "Chefs Move to Schools" program and the challenge of bringing together creative cooking minds for the purpose of developing exciting recipes that are not only tasty and kid-approved, but provide a nutritious base for menus that will be welcomed on lunch trays throughout the district's 80 elementary and secondary schools.
Participation in community based programs is a standard for Charleston Marriott who has partnership with Charleston, South Carolina hotel's Saffire Restaurant and the South Carolina Aquarium's Sustainable Seafood Initiative. As one of the first participants in the state's "Fresh on the Menu" program, the Saffire Restaurant focuses on providing guests with an eclectic menu that includes bold flavors that are seasonally inspired and created from fresh ingredients. Charleston Marriott's dedication to utilizing only the freshest ingredients has also spurred into the final planning stages for a rooftop garden that will also reduce the Charleston, SC upscale hotel's carbon footprint.
