At Dummy Diner, we believe delicious food should also be responsible food. That's why we've built relationships with local farmers, fishermen, and producers who share our commitment to sustainable practices. Over 85% of our ingredients come from within a 100-mile radius, reducing our carbon footprint while supporting our regional economy.
From our composting program to our energy-efficient kitchen equipment, we're constantly looking for ways to minimize our environmental impact. Even our decor features reclaimed materials and our takeaway packaging is fully biodegradable. For us, sustainability isn't just a trend—it's an essential part of how we do business.
