Check out this NPR video to see how chef Dan Barber was able to use food that would normally be thrown out in tasty dishes that he served to his restaurant guests.

NPR estimated a 133 billion pounds of food that is wasted each year, as well as that the typical American family tosses out about $1,500 of food yearly. This wasted food is the largest component of solid waste in our landfills and can even contribute to the climate change with the methane that is emitted when it begins to rot.
