Vegetarian Star

Mike Tyson and his wife recently had dinner at Mr. Chow restaurant in Beverly Hills.

Mr. Chow also has locations in London, New York, Miami and one to soon open in Las Vegas.

Since Tyson is a newbie vegan and all, it would have been interesting to know what the former heavyweight champion filled up on.

Mr. Chow featured a special menu for 2010 Valentine’s Day which listed a vegetarian dumpling called “My Little Dumpling.”

Sounds like the perfect appetizer for a veg friendly couple!

An MTV show that displays the ups and downs of job hunting premieres Monday May 17th.

MTV Hired will feature several young adults as candidates for jobs in various professions and follow them through interviews, call backs and waiting to hear from the managers.

Who will work on Wall Street? More importantly, who will work on Organic Avenue?

According to the Futon Critic, Organic Avenue is a New York City company that will be featured on the show.

The company’s mission is to provide LOVE (Live, Organic, Vegan, Experience) in every service it offers, which includes detox cleanses, raw food, supplements and education on how to make the transition to a plant based, eco friendly lifestyle.

Rachel Bilson and her mother were spotted taking a lunch break at a vegetarian restaurant in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.

Cru boasts a menu that is entirely vegan, gluten-free and mostly organic.

Maybe Bilson and mom ordered items like the Shiitake Mushroom Ravioli, a pasta dish stuffed with herbed cashew cheese and chickpea miso cream sauce.

Or did the two spice things up with a raw vegan chorizo tostada and radish cabbage slaw?

Amy’s has also been named a favorite by celebrities like Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie.

Could a Twilight vegetarian vampire be a real vegan?

Ashley Greene was spotted taking her dog for a walk before stopping by vegan restaurant Real Food Daily for lunch.

Greene plays Alice Cullen in the Twilight, Eclipse and New Moon movies about a family of vegetarian vampires who call themselves such because they don’t eat humans like other vampires do, but they still eat animals in the wild.

Foie Gras Protests At Thomas Keller restaurants

Anti foie gras protests at Thomas Keller‘s restaurants ranged from mild to slightly aggressive, as Eater reports.

Members of The Animal Protection Rescue League targeted Per Se in New York, Bouchon in Los Angeles, and The French Laundry in Yountville, CA.

All three restaurants serve foie gras, the swollen liver of ducks and geese obtained by force feeding them through tubes.

The Bouchon crowd was reported to be the rowdiest, chanting phrases like, “You have blood on your hands” and “We will never back down, till you stop the killing.”

The French Laundry actually fed its protesters with lemonade and cookies and shared its daily “Tasting of Vegetables” event with them.

Poet Benjamin Zephaniah has become one of several celebrities to join the campaign to ask the Malvern Conservators to reconsider their plans to close the vegetarian St. Ann’s Well Cafe in Malvern Hills in West Worcestershire, England.

According to a press release from the Save St. Ann’s Well campaign, Zephaniah contacted supporters to offer his thoughts, saying he was sad to hear about the closing.

“In the book Icons of England I named the Malvern Hills as my favourite place in England. I could have also said that St Anns Well cafe is my favourite place on the hills. It is unique, it is a treasure, it is fully in keeping with the hills, and is a sustainable enterprise. This cafe is a great example of the kind of ethical business that can carry us forward in the 21st century. It must be protected, it must be saved, it must just be for all of us. PS I recommend the chocolate cake!’”

The owner of the cafe, John Redman, has occupied the site of St. Ann’s Well for both his business and his residency for the past 20 years.

He was informed late last year that the Conservators would not be renewing his lease.

An online petition has been started in an attempt to persuade them to reverse their decision.

Hope this won’t be the last year for the chocolate cake Zephaniah likes so much.

Sarah Silverman told Ok! magazine her last meal at a vegetarian restaurant was the “Big Macro” sandwich with a side of kale at M Cafe in Melrose, Los Angeles.

She called this indulgence “giving into LA.”

“Yes, I have given in to Los Angeles. You have a problem with that?”

The Big Macro, as expected, features the goodness of grains in the, “organic whole-grain brown rice & vegetable burger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, sprouts, soy cheese, and special sauce on a fresh-baked whole wheat bun.”

If you bow down to King Kale, you can get the salad with spicy peanut dressing.

We’ve got no problem with that and would give in in a heartbeat!

Don’t forget to search online for a list of vegetarian restaurants where you can get the Big Macro instead of the Big Mac.
