Vegetarian Star

So lots of celebrities are changing their ways when they have children. Some are even going on the arguably extreme side, like Madonna and her dozens of rules for ex-hubby Guy to follow when the kids visit him.

But overall, celebrity mommies and daddies cleaning up their acts for the little ones is a good thing. And going organic is just one way to do so.

Take Nicole Kidman, for example. She grows her own organic vegetables. Gwyneth Paltrow has stated she prefers organic and natural food, which may mean the actress who claims to be vegetarian raises her own turkeys in her backyard, ha, ha. And couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have been spotted shopping for organic produce.

Move over Gordon Ramsay. Paul McCartney has officially scored another point in the Ramsay-McCartney meatoff, showing he can cook too. And amazingly, he used no profanity. Not even during his fight with Glovey.

Watch the video showing Paul McCartney teaching you how to make homemade mashed potatoes his way-from scratch! He advocates using non-hydrogenated margarine because it’s healthier, but says the amount you put in depends on how “naughty,” you want to be.

This recipe is taken from his late wife, Linda’s cookbook. Here’s a link to a couple of other recipes from her book.

This can be veganized as Paul says you can use soymilk in place of regular milk. Pay extra attention at minute 4:00 when Paul gets into a scuffle with his oven glove, Glovey.

Gordon Ramsay has an on again, off again fondness for vegetarians, and he recently visited a vegan restaurant in Hollywood, Sante La Brea, that was in need of a makeover for an episode of “Kitchen Nightmares” which aired November 20th.

Before we get any further, we’d like point out a serious WTF flaw in the menu. Although they claim to be a vegan restaurant, they serve fish and chicken, something which confused Ramsay, to say the least. Don’t worry Gordon, this confuses us too.

Apparently, the restaurant offers many vegan options on the menu and any entree can be made such by requesting unchicken or tofu. However, there are items with real chicken in tofu sauce, which doesn’t seem to make any sense, but that’s probably one of the reasons why Gordon was there to rescue them.

Here’s the lowdown on what happened:

Gordon is fed a turkey melt, which he is not impressed with and feeds to a dog. Turkey, yuck! Good for him. But he didn’t necessarily have to insult the dog like that.

A plate of tofu with overcooked vegetables and overcooked, lumpy rice does not impress him either. “Shocking. My God!” he exclaimed. Rotten eggplant is just one of the many delightful wonders he finds in the kitchen refrigerator.

Humorous highlights include Ramsay playing a joke on owner Dean Hamoui by having the police handcuff him so he can’t do everyone else’s job, forcing the employees to learn for themselves.

It was a happy ending and Hamoui was quoted in Eater, saying the best thing about working with Ramsay was, “The fact that he fixed things up. There are plenty of problems that I wanted to fix, and when Gordon came he actually put the lid on all those problems—my sons straightened out, Mark [the manager] quit coming with crazy ideas. I needed someone to help me put it back on the map.”

If you’re a vegetarian Chargers fan, congratulations! You can enjoy the game live without having to worry about munching on peanuts or a bland protein bar you brought from home.

Qualcomm Stadium, home to the San Diego Chargers, has been named the friendliest vegetarian NFL stadium by PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

You can stock up before the game and eat until your veggie heart’s content on bean burritos, veggie sushi rolls, vegetable wraps, veggie hot dogs, and Gardenburgers.

Coming in at second place is the McAfee Coliseum, where the Oakland Raiders do their thing on home turf. Choose from veggie hot dogs, veggie burgers, and fruit cups for dessert.

The city of Philadelphia took first place this year for the best veggie baseball stadium, but they’ve come in 3rd place for football with the Eagles’ Lincoln Financial Field offering veggie hot dogs and veggie burgers.

Finally, we all can be ready for some football!

Visit PETA’s blog for a complete list of NFL stadiums that made the top cut.

The advantage of living in L.A. (besides all those great celebrity sightings) is that you can walk a block or two from pretty much anywhere and get good vegetarian/vegan grub.

Plus the restaurants have plenty of endorsements from celebrities, like Pamela Anderson. If ethnic cuisine is your preference, L.A. won’t leave you veg hangin’. And if you stop by Real Food Daily, you have a good chance of running into Tobey Maguire.

Sandra Bernhard says she likes to go a new vegan Thai restaurant near her home in L.A. But she can’t remember the name.

“It’s called Lotus something,” she told LA Weekly. “They have these vegan shrimp.”

Could she have meant Lotus Vegan?

If you do happen to be at an L.A. vegan restaurant, look for Sandra and her red vegan shoes and you’ll know your in a good place.

We know it’s been awhile since you had food voyeurism. Thankfully, we found some to break the dry spell.

Ultimate Fighter Mac Danzig is one super cool vegan athlete proving you don’t need meat to beat the crap out of your opponent. And here’s how he does it.

He’s a big fan of brown rice, portobello mushrooms, and tempeh, as well as quinoa, black beans, and lentils. Although not that into fake meats, Gardenburger “Riblets,” do bring him to his knees.

And what does an Ultimate Fighting Champion and a evening with your girlfriends have in common? Both like to get drunk off sweets.

“I eat a ton of soy ice cream and vegan cookies when I’m not dieting,” Danzig said. “This is my weakness, but my metabolism burns most of it off.” Good thing, otherwise, it would go straight to his thighs. Sigh…

Example of what he might eat during intensive training weeks when he’s really counting calories:

“Salad w/ baby greens, artichoke, olives, mushrooms, high-protein grilled tofu and light goddess dressing. Fresh strawberries and grapes for dessert.”

Of course, this is just a tease. For the full monty, you’ll have to go elsewhere. We just don’t do those kinds of shows here.

Andre “3000” Benjamin is almost vegan, having some honey now and then. When he was asked what he would do for his last day on earth, he replied, “I’d probably go for a great meal—some broccoli probably, because I’m a vegetarian.”

Broccoli?

Make no mistake about it, we’re a vegetarian website, so we do love our vegetables. But for your last day on earth would you really only want broccoli?

We were thinking maybe some seasoned and marinated tofu with rice and other vegetables in addition to the broccoli. Or a crusted seitan with portobello mushroom sauce. Heck, we’ll even settle for a frozen dinner, if Amy’s is available. But broccoli?

But who are we to judge a man’s last meal on earth. To each his own. It’s probably better for the waiter who has to take his broccoli order anyway. Anything more elaborate than that would not be worth the hassle as Andre wouldn’t tip.

The Foo Fighters made a special guest appearance on Bravo’s Top Chef.

The band presented the elimination challenge to the food teams, which was to prepare a Thanksgiving feast for everybody in their crew, a total of over 60 people, some of which were vegetarian. The winning team would be invited to a concert later that night.

Team “Sexy Pants,” served the Foo Fighters and other judges vegan cornbread stuffing, which went over quite well and was preferred to the other team’s creations.

Check out lots of pictures of “Foo Fighters Thanksgiving.”

“Top Chef” is television series on the Bravo Network where chefs compete against each other in weekly challenges and are eliminated by judges who are professional chefs or otherwise notable people in the food industry.
