Common

Rapper Common was sighted in Chicago having lunch with his mother and daughter at Karyn’s On Green.

The restaurant offers raw, vegan food such as soups, salads and sandwiches and is owned by Karyn Calabrese, a vegan for 30 years who appeared on The Oprah Show on a segment on anti-aging.

Common and the fam dined on squash soup, a portobello sandwich and a vegetable wrap. Karyn’s lunch menu indicates the butternut squash soup is also gluten-free and contains chickpeas for an extra protein punch.

When Keane popped into Los Angeles for the Coachella Festival, the first place the guys stopped at was Astroburger so vegetarian drummer Richard Hughes could satisfy his herbivore needs.

“The tour bus took us straight to Astroburger and I was rather impressed with their veggie burger,” Hughes told the Laist.

Astroburger uses the Gardenburger brand meatless patty as a base for many of their creations, and can also whip out the flame-grilled variety or a bean burger. But that’s just the beginning of dressing up the veggie burger and many other items from the menu under the restaurant’s extensive vegetarian category.

Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright is well into his vegetarian conversion, except for the occasional slip here and there at the seafood restaurants in New York.

“I’ve become a vegetarian, and I’m adjusting,” Wainwright told the New York Post when he rambled off a list of his favorite eating spots in the area. “I admit, I have succumbed to in my vegetarian state occasionally, but don’t hate me.”

Luckily, there is Provisions Natural Foods Market and Organic Cafe in Sag Harbor to counteract all that fishy karma.

“Vegetarian food is the most sustainable food in the world. We need to think about our future generations and the sustainability of the earth. Each and every individual consuming an Otarian meal makes a small but meaningful difference to the planet and all its inhabitants. And if one Otarian meal saves a kilogram of carbon emissions and grain, or a litre of water or oil, imagine the cumulative benefits of Otarian eating.”

Paul McCartney

It’s been awhile since Paul McCartney had beef on a bun, so it’s only fit that the McDonald’s in his home town of Liverpool finally take those pictures of him and other Beatles off the wall.

The story made headlines a couple of years ago, when it was reported the singer was upset that over a dozen shots of the 60s iconic rock group were plastered over the Sefton Street fast food restaurant.

Amanda Cohen, chef and owner of  vegetarian restaurant Dirt Candy in New York city, has received PETA’s prize of $10,000 for creating the best tasting vegetarian dish to taste like real foie gras.

Cohen beat out 37 other chefs for the top prize for a substitute where geese aren’t painfully force fed through tubes until their livers swell several times the normal size.

Cohen’s vegan version of foie gras is a mushroom mousse, made with portobellos, soy milk, vegan margarine, and onions, and has been on Dirty Candy’s menu for awhile.

It’s a safe bet humans will voluntarily stuff themselves with this appetizer until their bellies expand in size.

To fuel Weird Al before and after his concert performance, stage crew manager J.P. Voytko said he had to think a moment before catering for Al, since most other performers are satisfied with standard road kill entrees.
