Vegetarian Star

Amanda Cohen of Dirt Candy

“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.

Was Dan the only vegan special enough that night to get a pic taken with Alicia?

Giada De Laurentiis made an appearance at Alicia Silverstone‘s launch party for her book The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet held at Candle 79 vegan restaurant.

Does the Food Network‘s Italian cooking diva have a thing for vegan meals?

If so, we’d love to see Giada feature a cheeseless lasagna dish, similar to her recipe we found for vegetarian Individual Vegetable Lasagnas.

Robin Quivers attended the launch party of Alicia Silverstone‘s book, The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet.

We’re sure Robin thoroughly enjoyed her vegan food at Candle 79, where the launch party took place.

Looking good Robin.

Keep up the great work!
