Quantcast Vegetarian StarYotam Ottolenghi Cooking Everything But Animals At LA Restaurant

Yotam Ottolenghi (that guy who annoyed everybody by saying even fish eaters can call themselves vegetarian) will be cooking a true vegetarian meal at the most ironic of restaurants in July.

Ottolenghi will offer an evening of himself, an optional wine pairing and his recipes from his latest cookbook, Plenty, at Animal restaurant in Los Angeles.

If the name “Animal” doesn’t already have your stomach churning, please know this is the restaurant owned by Jon Shook, the boyfriend of former vegan Shiri Appleby, who said she was motivated to eat his pig ears, foie  gras and rabbit legs after deciding no respectable man would date a vegan girl.

Not to worry, Ottolenghi knows now there are indeed boundaries and rabbit leg eaters can’t go calling themselves vegetarian, so he’ll only be cooking with true vegetarian ingredients the evening of July 14.

LA Weekly quotes the price of being wined and dined by Ottolenghi as $70 per person, $25 extra for the wine pairing. Reservations can be made by calling 323-782-9225 after 2 p.m.
