Chrissie Hynde‘s been eying different cities to launch her second Vegiterranean, a vegan Italian restaurant she opened in her hometown in Ohio a few years ago. While those of us in the U.S. would love a Chrissie dining establishment near us, she’s thinking about taking her business down under. In an open letter to Melbourne, Australia, published in the Herald Sun, Hynde discusses the possibilities of setting up vegan shop there, taking advantage of the numerous local farmers and vendors to provide the freshest ingredients. She is impressed by Melbourne’s green attitude, both food-wise and for their transportation. “Been exploring Melbourne. Mainly nosing around to figure out if my vegan restaurant would fly here. I think it would. Yes, a Vegiterranean in Melbourne. Local produce, local investors, local flavour. There’s nothing like it here and I think the climate is perfect – progressive, health conscious – animal friendly?” “Yes, I hope we’ll be seeing a Vegiterranean here in the next year or two.” Being Melbourne is a veg-friendly city, Hynde should know she’s going to have some competition. There are over a dozen vegetarian restaurants or so located in the area, with a couple of vegan in the mix. Add that to several natural health stores and stores that specialize in vegetarian products and it’s easy to see why she’s impressed. Hynde and her band is currently on tour with Blondie.
