Who’s got the best veggie chicken sandwich?

Amy from the Veg Cooking Blog asked readers at peta.org to chime in and help her make that decision.

The responses chose restaurants in every corner of the United States, including the heart of the midwest at Chrissie Hynde’s vegan restaurant, The Vegiterranean.

The Vegiterranean features the Grilled Gardein Bruschetta Pomodoro Panini. You can tell from the name, this is no ordinary soy patty on a squished bun.

As Amy writes:
“The sandwich comes with balsamic basil marinated tomatoes and soy mozzarella and is accompanied by a grilled vegetable orzo salad.”

Wow. Sounds delish!

Others that made the cut include New York city’s Red Bamboo’s Chicken Parmesan Hero with “soy chicken with vegan mozzarella cheese, smothered in sweet basil marinara sauce and served on Italian bread.”

Hungry yet?

Leona Lewis had a recent creepy crawly scare while shooting a video in Malibu.

During the shoot, somehow a tarantula nest was disturbed, and the entire network of friends and family of spiders came crawling out.

Since Leona was so terrified, the shoot had to be delayed by 2 hours while pest control came in and took care of the problem.

Ooooh. You can hear the critics already.

Leona Lewis, a staunch vegetarian who turned down over a million dollars to perform at a store that sold fur is okay with killing spiders?

It could be argued that the shoot could have been moved elsewhere while the spiders were left to call their insurance company for rebuild quotes.

But Leona’s crew chose to exterminate them instead.

Maybe not the kindest chose, but no one is perfect.

Soon we’ll see how the vegetarian haters, PETA mockers, and media predators in general treat this incident.

Things just got real ugly in Philadelphia, as the city of brotherly love that Michael Vick recently signed to play football with just happens to be the hometown of singer and animal activist Pink.

Yes, THE Pink. Same gal who suggested Kanye West be skinned and made into a fur coat for his fur loving tendencies.

Her latest kind thoughts about Vick from Twitter:

“wow. michael vick in MY hometown, Philly. of all the places. I hope the fans tear him to pieces like his beloved dogs”

There are already several protests planned in Philly.

Strange events occur in the Beckham’s kitchen.

Victoria Beckham, has claimed to be a vegetarian who still cooks meat for her husband and kids.

“The only thing I can cook really is mince meat, which is ironic because I’m a vegetarian.”

Now, we’re learning that David is helping with the domestic chores as well-which include making one of Victoria’s favorite dishes of prawns.

According to splashnewsonline.celebuzz.com, David says:

“My signature dish for Victoria is grilled prawns or lobster and fresh vegetables.”

Unless Mrs. Posh Spice likes to look at the dead grilled prawns while eating her meatless pasta, she ain’t exactly vegetarian.

And after learning of all the half-assed vegetarian celebrities, we have little hope Victoria munches on Vegan King Prawns.

Sigh…

Another star who needs a vocabulary lesson.

It’s pescatarian, Victoria.

Chrissie Hynde recently interviewed with the New York Post, where she mentioned how successful her vegan restaurant, The Vegiterranean, is in her hometown of Akron, Ohio.

Located in the heart of the midwest, Chrissie couldn’t have picked a less veg friendly region-unless we’re talking about a cattle ranch town!

But two years later, The Vegiterranean is still going strong.

A few highlights from the interview:

Akron seems like a meat-eating kind of town. How has your vegan menu been received?

Everyone told me, “Don’t do it.” I had a resounding chorus of “You will go under” from all corners. But it’s been a huge success. And you’re right, it’s a real meat-eating town. I’m actually still surprised when I meet a meat eater. It makes so little sense, especially now that everybody knows the score as far as the treatment of the animals, the factory farms and the environment — not to mention the health implications. Why go to the gym every day when you can just eat right? I mean, look how gorgeous I am, and I don’t do anything.

How are people responding to what you’re doing there?

It’s funny, because yesterday I was thinking, what am I doing this for? I was feeling kind of isolated. And then I went to the restaurant, and six different groups of people walked up and said, “We’ve come in from out of town because we wanted to see the restaurant. You should put one in our city, because we really need it.” And I thought, it’s working. I was quite stunned.

Erykah Badu is known for visiting her hometown food joints, such as the Spiral Diner.

The latest news is that the soul singing diva likes to frequent a vegan bakery called Tough Cookie Bakery in Dallas, Texas.

From pegasunews.com:

“Even Erykah Badu is known to swing by The Green Spot every now and then to pick up a few those oh-so-decadent vegan cinnamon rolls we all dream about. And who can blame her? (Hmm — I wonder if she’s also responsible for those empty trays at The Pearl Cup…)”

“Well, Erykah — maybe your next cinnamon roll will include a little love from me, too!”

Tough Cookie makes not so tough tasting vegan cookies, muffins, pretzels and cinnamon rolls and is looking to create their own line of gluten-free pastries, pizza crusts, pies and breads in the future.

Lady Gaga has been known for her choice of stage outfits, but this one really takes the cruelty-free cake.

The woman born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta recently made headlines with her Kermit the Frog outfit that she’s proud to say is fur free.

“The Kermit the Frog outfit is by an incredible designer by the name of Jean[-Charles] de Castelbajac, and he does a lot of museum art fashion pieces,” she said.

“I really loved this one in particular because I thought it was commentary on not wearing fur, ’cause I hate fur and I don’t wear fur. We were all laughing in the house about how it looks like a pile of dead Kermits.”

Note: No Kermit the Frogs were harmed or killed in any way during the making of the outfit.
