2 A CLASSIC COMMITMENT Imagination, craft and inspiration lie at the center of The Classic Catering People s vision of honoring food traditions while embracing new tastes and techniques. As a locally owned, certified Women s Business Enterprise, the Classic team has been bringing people together over memorable cuisine at the National Aquarium for over 30 years. Along the way, we have served our community as passionately as our clients. Every year, we partner with environmental, arts and health organizations throughout Maryland and D.C. to help these communities thrive. Because the only thing more satisfying than bringing people together for a great meal, is bringing them together for a good cause. We re fundraisers, volunteers, donors and board members as well as caterers. SUSTAINABILITY AND COMPOSTING Our spirit is rooted in a commitment to the environment through composting, recycling and continually seeking greener ways to work. In partnership with the National Aquarium s mission to celebrate and nurture the world s aquatic habitats, our menu offers Best Choice or Good Alternative seafood as outlined by Seafood Watch. As a member of the Oyster Recovery Partnership Shell Recycling Alliance, the shells rom the native Eastern or American oysters served at our events, are collected and used to support oyster population growth the Chesapeake Bay. Our commissary and kitchens have implemented a 100% composting program for all waste. LOCALLY SOURCED AND SEASONAL OFFERINGS Baltimore and the surrounding communities have made our success possible. Our support of the local, organic and fair trade purveyors and products are an ongoing part of our menu development and food service delivery. We maintain a small, yet reliable herb garden during the spring, summer and fall months. This garden has been providing herbs to our kitchen for over 15 years.
