Vegetarian Star

Dave Matthews and his wife Jennifer Ashley Harper and their friends were spotted having dinner at The Vanderbilt, a restaurant in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y.

According to People, a source said the couple ate flash-fried broccoli and Brussels sprouts.

According to WikiAnswers, Flash frying is like stir frying, only quicker with super high heat.

Flash fried vegetables sound delicious, especially when seasoned with spices like garlic or onion, but the Veg Star would have likely opted for another vegetable besides Brussels sprouts.

Eww!

In last night’s Dancing with the Stars, each competitor had to tell a story through their dance for the evening without using any props.

Vegetarian and animal activist Pamela Anderson danced her legs away to a paso doble, and pretended to be a gypsy Flamenco dancer in both awe and disgust by the matador.

“I’ve always been an animal activist and always think bullfighting is senseless and violent,” said Anderson. “I think it’s a dance with the devil.”

Will Pamela’s story of passion for both a man and animals be enough to keep her from elimination?

You’ll have to watch the results show tonight at 8/7c on ABC to find out!

The Hump, the well known sushi restaurant in California that was caught serving illegal whale meat by the staff who created the Academy Award winning film, The Cove, might take seafood completely off the menu.

Owner of American Hi-Def who donated a boat to the Sea Shepherd Conservation, Ady Gil, told the LAist his lawyers have contacted the city of Santa Monica about leasing the space.

If successful, Gil would like to turn it into a vegan restaurant.

Maybe he will call upon the chefs of Planet Green’s Future Food to make a vegetarian watermelon sushi once the vegan hump is in operation.

Eva Mendes was spotted grabbing vegan lunch at Real Food Daily in L.A.

The actress who stopped wearing fur after receiving a letter from PETA now says her diet is “mostly vegetarian.”

Real Food Daily is “totally vegetarian” and serves everything from vegan B.L.T.s to nachos to pizzas, pastas, seitan and tempeh dishes at their Santa Monica and West Hollywood locations.

Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution isn’t converting the Americans to healthier foods like Jamie Oliver did in the UK.

Good old things like American French Fries are getting in the way.

During a recent episode, Jamie is appalled to learn his pasta stir fry with vegetables doesn’t count as a serving of vegetables according to the USDA (the golden standard by which we should all be eating from, of course) guidelines of 1 1/4 cup (even though veggies shrivel after losing their water when cooked) served at lunchtime and is therefore not reimbursable.

However, french fries do.

Jamie says he’s going to “get medieval” on the french fry line (hell, yeah), shuts it down and begins snatching fries off students plate.

Sadly, most of those 1 1/4 cups of fruit and vegetable probably get tossed in the garbage, while the pasta stir fry and other similar dishes eaten on a regular basis would probably be more beneficial to the kids as most studies indicate more nutrients are obtained when the vegetables are actually eaten.

It’s a tough world Jamie has to live in every Sunday evening, but he needs to make the most of what he has.

Cut the frying and serve “french bakes” (sounds less sexier, but still does the trick). Drizzle olive oil over the potato slices and season them with non salt spices like garlic and pepper.

To get really wild, bake sweet potato fries instead.

French bake stir fry, french bake medley, mixed Asian French bakes with dressing and french bake salad are all possibilities when the customers get bored.

If you invite Kal Penn over for dinner, don’t bother asking him to smoke marijuana afterwards.

Or eat burgers for dinner.

The Harold and Kumar star was known for getting stoned and eating White Castle burgers in the movie, and unfortunately Penn says this translates into some people thinking he’s like his character.

From The Insider:

“It’s sad for the people who offer me a joint because I don’t smoke weed in real life. I was also a vegetarian when we shot the first movie and that was about burgers. I don’t go out of my way to tell people I was a vegetarian or that I don’t smoke weed, because I don’t want them to be disappointed. If you want to keep the suspension of disbelief that’s OK, but then sometimes it’s weird.”

So there. The suspense is over.

Keep your burgers and your joints to yourself.

Penn recently left his job at the White House as Associate Director of Public Engagement to film the new Christmas themed Harold and Kumar movie.

During the Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle movie, Kal was given veggie burgers made to look real once he and co-star John Cho finally made it White Castle.
