PETA's 15th Anniversary Gala and Humanitarian Awards - Arrivals

A night of vegan food, fashion and animal rights will take place in Toronto on Thursday October 22.

The party begins with a vegan dinner at the Ultra nightclub at 5 PM, INK Entertainment’s Feed Your Soul, which benefits the animal rights group, People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)

The dinner will feature vegan dishes by Chef Chris Zielinksi and be hosted by Pamela Anderson and PETA’s senior vice president Dan Matthews, along with designer Richie Rich.

After the dinner, Rich will showcase his fashion label with Pamela Anderson, A*Muse, at the This is London nightclub.

As PETA’s number one pin up girl, it’s no surprise Pamela sought the opportunity to benefit the animal rights organization during the tour to promote the eco friendly clothing line, which consists of hoodies and zip ups, casual dresses, and beachwear.

Pamela’s tour will take place in major cities in North America, Asia, and Europe.

Tickets to the PETA benefit dinner are $100 and can be purchased by calling Ultra at 416.263.0330.

Meatless Mouthful: Amanda Cohen On Future Of Vegetarian Chefs

“I think the challenge to all of us is that we have to be better. Vegetarian chefs are like the Ginger Rogers to the omnivore chef’s Fred Astaire: Our job is harder because we have to do everything they do, only backwards and in high heels. We have to work twice as hard for half the respect. Despite this, we desperately need to engage with the mainstream food world, because it’s not enough to preach to the choir anymore. Chefs and owners, myself included, need to step up our game. We need to become the 4.0 GPA overachievers of food.”

—-Amanda Cohen, owner and chef at Dirt Candy, an award winning vegetarian restaurant in New York City.

The old saying is eat dessert first and that’s what the creator of the Craz-E Burger had in mind.

Brace your arteries for this.

The Craz-E Burger is a 1,500 calorie donut burger.

A beef patty, bacon and cheese are stuffed between two grilled glazed donut halves.

This burger has been a top seller at The Big E Festival in Springfield, Massachusetts, where organizers say they were selling at least 1,000 per day.

We always like to prove we can vegify anything, but in this case, who would want to?

Oh, heck, let’s give it a try.

Grab yourself a Boca patty, Lightlife Bacon, your favorite slice of vegan cheese.

BabyCakes will take care of the vegan donut for you and it will even be gluten-free.

Watch the clip to see the Craz-E Burger being assembled.
