Catering company Patina, which is preparing a menu that will include a whopping 14,000 pounds of Angus free-range boneless beef short rib, will donate leftover food to local missions and will compost inedible scraps.

They also brought in a 20-foot-tall bonsai tree and a variety of 30-foot red maples, along with other greenery and foliage.
