Green Takeout Containers in Tacoma

Just wanted to use this as a place to create a list of restaurants here in town that avoid using styrofoam packaging for their takeout containers. It's been a real frustration of mine recently and just wanted to point out those that are making a positive difference. Thanks to them!

Spaghetti Factory (tin foil, cardboard)
The Red Hot (cardboard, I believe)

I'm not sure if they always do it this way, but when I ordered La Fondita through Letzeatnow they used foil and cardboard.

Infinite Soups! I don't really know how they'd put soup in a styrofoam clam shell, but at least it's waxed paper and not some kind of plastic with a number that can't be recycled locally.

I've seen soups from Asian places that definitely come in styrofoam cups with a plastic lid.

Joeseppi's uses waxed paper.

Primo Grill uses some sort of cool container that certainly looks green. It's not styrofoam, seems to be made of paper or cardboard like stuff.

hrm... the two places that I immediately think of that did this are now dead (Gary's Steak Out and From the Bayou both used cardboard boxes), alas.

I believe Taqueria El Guadalajara on Tacoma Ave. uses cardboard as well.

Just checked out the hillsidequickie website. How have I not been to this place before? It looks fantastic!
