Jackson 20 Restaurant & Bar Sustainable Practices


Jackson 20 is dedicated to environmental responsibility. By promoting eco-friendly practices and using organic and locally grown foods, Jackson 20 succeeds in its focus on a greener future while delivering only the best New American dishes to your table. Below are some of our current environmentally friendly practices:



  • All of Jackson 20's excess cooking oils and grease are recycled into bio-diesel fuels.

  • Chef Brian McPherson is committed to serving only organic beef, pork and poultry.

  • All beef is source-verified 100% Hereford and tested to be BSE-free.

  • When selecting seafood for the menu, Chef McPherson adheres to the Monterey Bay Seafood Watch program standards.

  • We recycle all glass, paper, cardboard and aluminum. We do not use Styrofoam for any purpose.

  • All menus are printed on recycled paper and printed with soy ink wherever possible.

  • Our kitchen uses low-flow dishwashing spray valves and faucet aerators on bathroom and hand-wash stations.

  • We use energy efficient lighting in kitchen areas and motion sensors in low-occupancy storage areas.

  • All exit lights have been converted to LED.

  • Take-out containers and utensils are made from unbleached and recycled content.

  • You will also find a selection of organic and biodynamic wines on our menu.
