8. According to AHLA Responsible Stay, the Washington Hilton does have a food waste reduction program

The Washington Hilton donates excess food and meals to the Ronald McDonald
House and DC Central Kitchen. Between 6-8% of all prepared food is donated.

I have no idea what happened to last night's food, but they appear to be plugged in to DC Central Kitchen and partner with WWF.

Successes
Located in the heart of Washington, DC, the Washington Hilton hosts many high-profile events, including the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The hotel’s proximity to World Wildlife Fund Headquarters allowed the food waste team to regularly visit the property to observe and assist in project implementation. The presence of the WWF team catalyzed the successful adoption of pre-service and post-service food waste separation in the staff cafeteria. Additionally, positive reinforcement from the pilot lead, additional staff training, and regular bin observations helped keep the food waste separation running smoothly. Staff happily adopted separation practices and shared stories with pilot leadership, demonstrating a clear understanding of the negative impacts of wasted food.
