Vegetarian Star

Joe Yonan‘s “coming out as a vegetarian,” as many journalists and bloggers are calling it, has resulted in good publicity for the diet. As the food editor of the Washington Post, Yonan now has the ability to share the benefits and tasty secrets of a plant-based diet to millions of Americans.

In addition to discussing vegetarian and vegan dishes in his regular Post column, Yonan has an all-vegetarian cookbook scheduled for release this summer.

Yonan latest attempt at proselytizing the heavy meat eaters is through the Huffington Post, where he’s named the top vegetarian and vegan restaurants located in the nation’s capitol.

“People have always had a hard time understanding the difference between the food editor and the food critic,” Yonan said. “A lot of people, whenever I tell them what I do, they start asking me what it’s like to eat out at so many restaurants on the Post’s dime.”

Trying some of these restaurant’s out on your own dime may help in understanding the difference between editor and critic.

Or at least the difference between kimchee and kumquat.

Yonan has suggestions for Indian and Ethiopian cuisines and even a place on President Obama’s list of favorites.
