Alton Brown has seen to it that bluefin tuna will no longer be used on Iron Chef America.

The host of the Food Network show had previously said he would boycott Nobu restaurant until it removed the endangered species from the menu. Recently, however, Makoto Okuwa served up a dish using bluefin tuna belly, which prompted a food blogger to address Brown about the issue, according to LA Weekly.

Eco Chef application

Raw chef guru Bryan Au has his own iphone application.

The Eco Chef App, available from itunes for $1.99, offers dozens of raw, organic, vegetarian and vegan recipes from lasagna to desserts. The user can pick recipes from several cuisine types like American, Italian, Indian and Chinese, which are given as either listed instructions or how to videos. There is also an opportunity to ask Chef Bryan those tricky questions like “Can I substitute walnuts for cashews in the raw cheese?” Personally, we’d stick with the cashews, but it’s best to clear that up with Chef Bryan.

Debuting last month, Eco Chef became quite popular, rising to the top 10 lists of apps on itunes by July 4th.

See below for a video reviewing the features of Eco Chef App.

Former Top Chef contestant Carla Hall, who was known for adding her vegetarian variations to the table, participated in Backpacker magazine’s annual Adventures in NYC event in Central Park where she and two other contestants (including the gear editor of Backpacker) presented a backpacking cooking showdown, preparing a 20 minute meal easily prepared on a camping trip.

Hall’s Vegetarian Quesadilla came in 2nd, but Backpacker gear editor’s pizza was at least vegetarian based too.

The Food Network is red hot with vegetarian friendly features on its shows!

Besides two vegan friendly cupcake bakers who squared off against their egg and dairy counterparts in “Cupcake Wars,” (not to mention the vegan chef who took home the grand $10,000 prize), more vegetarian chefs are set to compete in a new reality competition where aspiring restaurateurs must design all the works of a restaurant–from food, decor and concept. The winner walks away from start up money to pursue the dream!

On Wednesday, August 18th at 10PM E/P, 24 Hour Restaurant Battle will put a couple of friends with an idea for a vegetarian friendly menu against a father and son team.

Gordon Ramsay joked he would put his kid on a fence and electrocute him if he went vegetarian. Now another celebrity chef with a taste for both fine food and foul mouth has shared how he would react if his daughter went meatless.

Anthony Bourdain told the Miami New Times he will cope with the situation by making her smell pork every day. Lovely.

“I’ll say, “It’s a phase! It’s a phase!” I will live with it. I will love my daughter. But I will cook bacon around her every day.”

Bourdain had better get ready to grab the faux ham instead, because according to the LA Times, his daughter is a good candidate for going veg 10 years from now.

Chloe Coscarelli won a competition on the Food Network’s “Cupcake Wars” for baking vegan desserts like Crème-filled Chocolate Orange with Candied Orange Peel. After winning the grand prize of $10,000 and the opportunity to bake vegan for a celebrity party, it’s obvious this gal can cook sweets, but did you know she can do dinner do?

Seen here is Chloe demonstrating how to make her avocado pesto pasta, proving there is life after guacamole for green fruit lovers. A box of linguine gets covered in green sauce created with avocado, basil leaves and pine nuts to yield a dish unlike any spaghetti you’ve thrown together after work.

Watch Chloe demonstrate the avocado pesto pasta and visit her blog for the recipe.
