Weird Al Yankovic Spotted At Green Leaves Vegan Restaurant
Written by Vegetarian Star on October 8th, 2009 in Celebrity Sightings, Food & Drink, Male Singers.
Weird Al Yankovic has been spotted at Green Leaves Restaurant in LA. From vegan-la.com:
“I know people aren’t fans of Green Leaves, and neither am I after hearing about the problems. This sighting was before I knew about the unfolded drama on Green Leaves. My wife and I spotted Weird Al Yankovic eating at the West Hollywood location. I hadn’t known he was vegan, maybe he isn’t. He had a baseball hat on…who knew you could get all that hair under a baseball hat.”
The “problems” at Green Leaves refer to some independent tests done that suggested some of their vegan food contained casein and eggs.
Weird Al’s first book, When I Grow Up, has been acquired by Harper Collins.
A description from a press release says, “With gleefully dizzying wordplay, an exuberant eight-year-old tells his patient teacher and amazed classmates about the astonishing variety of humorous and inventive careers he plans to pursue when he grows up.”
“I’ve always wanted to write children’s books,” said Yankovic. “And now, it’s not only a goal, it’s a contractual obligation.”
When I Grow Up is due for release in Winter 2011.
Will Weird Al be spending lots of time on his laptop in vegan restaurants until then?

Apparently, Green Leaves lawyer sent a nasty letter to the blogger who conducted the tests. It makes you wonder…

I don’t care about that whole green leaves thing, I love going there anyways. They have guitars on the walls and a ton of gluten free food. Maybe that makes me a bad vegan, but anyone who thinks that should try going gluten free for a week.
I’ve definitely read that Weird Al is vegan.

Weird Al is a long time vegetarian. I hope he makes it by SunPower Natural Organic Cafe sometime. He’s awesome!

Al became vegan shortly after his 1989 movie UHF, and converted to vegitarianism after he got married. (His wife made him.)
