Vegetarian Star

Bethenny Frankel is making her way across the country for her Skinny Girl Night Out tour, nights filled with talk about food, diet, health and everything else from the Real Housewives of New York City star, cookbook author and chef.

Frankel has always advocated a heavily plant-based diet even though she’s not a vegetarian, and this weekend she stayed the course by sharing her experiences eating veggie burgers and falafel in Connecticut.

When asked she ended up at lunch in Hartford, Bethenny Tweeted, “Trumbull kitchen.great veggie burger.nice staff.”

After her show in Stamford, she treated herself to Layla’s Falafel.

And how can one eat like Bethenny when traveling through the Constitution State?

Here’s the hummus scoop:

As reported earlier, vegan cookbook author and chef Tal Ronnen joined the chefs at Wynn Las Vegas and Encore casino and hotel restaurants, revamping the menus to make them very veggie heavy.

Officials from Wynn have shared descriptions of what some of the entrees Ronnen helped add to an already vegan-friendly menu, thanks to Steve Wynn‘s decision to go vegan. Here’s a sample of the reward you can get from the kitchens of Lakeside Grill, SW Steakhouse, Sinatra and more, even if you lose at the slot machine.

The last time someone attempted to show a connection between the U.S. and Egypt, it was Jon Stewart forcing a camel to stand outside in the snow. As you can see from the video, that attempt was a big FAIL.

The vegan co-founder of Twitter has made a connection between a historic uprising in the Middle East and one of the United State’s most active sanctuaries for abused and abandoned farm animals, Farm Sanctuary. In Biz Stone‘s opinion, both the sanctuary and the events in Egypt teach the lesson of human empathy.

“I think empathy is what it’s about,” Stone was quoted by the Herald Tribune as saying. “Technology in general, and social media especially, are helping the world become a smaller place. These days, you can look down on your mobile phone and see what’s happening halfway around the world, walk in their shoes, and feel an empathy you wouldn’t otherwise feel.”

“I invest in things that I have faith in. For example, building a financial company (UniRush Financial Services) that serves people who were thrown away by the banks which developed a technology that speaks to the middle class. It has to be an idea that is aligned to the principles I live by. I don’t have any products that I don’t believe in. I won’t take part in the suffering of animals, exploitation of people or abuse of the planet. I can’t say that I’m a vegan and then own a steakhouse. It’s a karmic thing–you get what you give. It’s kind of nice when you’re serving the planet. I can go to sleep.”

Some sandwiches on the menu at Brooklyn-based Hana Food have undergone name changes. After opening another larger establishment in the Bushwick area, the owner changed offensive sounding combos like “Gay Boy,” “Butter Face” and “The Illegal” to , “Garden Boy,” “Farmer’s Tan,” and “South of the Border.”

Two of these sandwiches are veggie-friendly.
