Russell Simmons Says Vegan In New Orleans Is Difficult
Written by Vegetarian Star on January 27th, 2009 in Authors, Business, Food & Drink.
New Orleans is alive and kicking and according to the New York Post, “the place for upscale travelers to visit this winter.”
The Big Easy certainly provides warmer weather than what many of us are experiencing now and the variety of food and culture rich spots such as the French Quarter, make celebrities like Angelina Jolie, Martha Stewart, and Brad Pitt all repeat fans.
Like any traveling adventure, a visit to New Orleans for vegetarians and vegans requires planning in terms of where to eat, and hip hop mogul Russell Simmons admits to the temptation of all the non vegan goodies.
“It’s the most difficult place to be vegan in the world,” he said. “I have found a lot of vegan food and vegan jambalaya, but the other food is so attractive!”
Not to fear, as online guides such as VegGuide.org, give you the rundown on every veg and veg friendly restaurant in New Orleans or anywhere else.

There are now more vegetarian and vegan options in New Orleans than ever. I write a blog that keeps up with all the veg happenings in the city, and also has a continually updated and trying-to-be comprehensive list of everywhere a person can get a good vegan meal in and around the city. You can find it here: http://NewOrleansInGreen.blogspot.com. It’s actually not hard to eat veg here at all if you know where to look! 🙂
