Solar-Powered Steakhouse in Florida

Keetsa Eco-Friendly and Green Mattresses

Ted’s Montana Grill in Tallahasee, Florida is the first restaurant based chain to install and use solar power.. This restaurant is owned by Ted Turner and is an eco-friendly restaurant in a chain of 49 restaurants in 18 states, “menus are printed using recycled paper, no plastics are used in the restaurant and soft drinks are served in recyclable glass bottles“.In all the popular restaurant has “installed 44 panels on the upper roof and 22 panels on the patio roof — 66 panels total. The panels supply about 5 percent of the restaurant’s energy needs”.

Another advantage for Ted’s Montana Grill from a business perspective, is that the city provides generous incentives for alternative energy source use.

Visit their website for their menu and locations.

I think this is simply a marvelous idea. I wished I lived closer so that I could visit.

Hi—Moondanzer, thanxs for the visit. I think it is just a matter of time, before more and more restaurants use alternative energy sources, and also since more and more cities are providing incentives for doing so, it is only going to gain in popularity.

Awesome implementation. I really hope more business would help themselves by helping the environment. I know the business here in Singapore just started getting into going green. Thanks.
