RIALTO IS PLEASED TO OFFER THE DIRECT TRADE COFFEES AND ESPRESSO FROM THE GEORGE HOWELL COFFEE COMPANY
George Howell and his company was recently profiled, along with other "Direct trade" coffee roasters, in a NYT article by Peter Meehan. Meehan writes, " Direct-trade coffee companies... see ecologically sound agriculture and prices above even the Fair Trade premium both as sound business practices and as a route to better-tasting coffee." And that's what we love about this coffee--it tastes superb and is purchased directly from small producers, creating a delicioulsy sustainable (or endless) cup of joe. Check out their company website at: www.terroircoffee.com
Salon Dinners with Jody and PIH Have you ever dreamed of having a James Beard award-winning chef prepare a multi-course meal in your own home? What could be more rewarding than bringing a group of friends or colleagues together to learn more about how to help solve global health problems? How could these things ever be compatible? Answer: Salon Dinners with Jody and PIH. We bring the chef, design and prepare the five-course meal with paired wines and invite the PIH leadership. You bring your friends and get ready to raise money. Nothing could be simpler, more fun or rewarding. To find out more, please contact Catherine Dry at catherine@rialto-restaurant.com or call 617.234.8025. A COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL JUSTICE Jody Adams takes commitment seriously, from seasonal, local ingredients to social justice on a global scale. No small endeavor. To make a difference, she has joined forces with an organization called Partners in Health, a Boston-based nonprofit that works with poor communities all over the world to combat disease and poverty. From Haiti to Rwanda, from Russia, Peru and Lesotho to parts of the US, PIH’s mission is medical and moral: combating allegedly “untreatable” health problems effectively, even in poor settings (visit www.pih.org to learn more). The story begins in the dining room of Rialto when Jody met PIH founder Paul Farmer (check out the book Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracey Kidder to read about Paul and PIH). Paul is a wiry, passionate, brilliant man who is committed with a fierce focus to resolving global health problems. Jody is an energetic, entrepreneurial, petite chef-on-fire passionate about running a successful business and helping the world while she is at it. She has decided to use the tools of her trade to raise awareness and funds for PIH.
