Heather Mills V Bites The Bronx Opening [Update]

Heather Mills Launches V-Bites Restaurant

Update: V  Bites The Bronx isn’t here yet.

Vegan foodies in the U.S. will be glad to hear that Heather Mills has opened a V Bites restaurant in the Bronx, New York.

This comes just months after the grand opening of V Bites in Hove Lagoon in the UK.

Heather personally was present at the opening yesterday afternoon.

Heather’s no stranger to the area, as she’s worked with a charity of hers, Hunts Point Alliance, serving underprivileged Bronx children and families.

Last year, Heather donated over a million dollars of vegan food to children and families in the Bronx area and has also taught weekend cooking classes.

It was rumored months ago that Heather was looking in the NY area to open her vegan restaurant, but after V Bites in the UK opened its doors, many assumed Heather was done for awhile.

Thank goodness she’s like the vegan Energizer Bunny and shows no signs of stopping.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Mike White lunchtime!

Jake Gyllenhaal is in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania filming Love And Other Drugs and lots of Jake sightings have been made by fans, with a few vegetarian rumors floating around here and there.

Jake entered the Make Your Mark Artspace and Coffee House, but they weren’t technically open for lunch yet.

“It was right before lunch, and we weren’t ready yet,” said Ms. Siebert, who runs Make Your Mark with husband Hemi Braunstein.

Unfortunately, her silly husband didn’t know he was supposed to make a vegetarian lunch on the spot for the superstar.

“My husband doesn’t know a superstar from the next guy. If someone else had been behind the counter, we would have opened up the kitchen,” Siebert said.

“We hope he comes back. I’ve heard he is a vegetarian and eats kind of healthy, and that’s what we’re all about,” she added.

You can grab a vegetarian entree at Make Your Mark during lunch hours, regardless of your celebrity status.

Once upon a time, a hookup took place in the back of a minivan and Hillside Quickie Inc., a vegetarian institute, was the love child of the creation.

After successfully running a food shop from the minivan, many other Hillsides were spawned, including Hillside Quickie’s Vegan Sandwich Shop, Hillside Quickie’s Cafe, and Quickie Too.

Years later, Hillside is still gettin’ it on and welcomes the birth of Plum: Hillside Quickie’s New American Bistro.

Plum offers delicious vegan dishes such as Northwest portobello and tempeh crepes, apple-pecan salad, vegan sliders, and the pizza of the day complete with vegan cheese.

It’s rumored that actor Tobey Maguire was a regular at Plum during the filming of his latest movie The Details.

The Cinema Society & Hugo Boss Screening of Inglourious Basterds - Arrivals

These days Canadian rock star Bryan Adams is a vegan who juices regularly and is into raw foods.

But years ago, when he lived in Vancouver, he would frequent a pizza place called Lombardo’s Pizzeria & Ristorante, where he would order what he called “the best pizza in the world.”

“Bryan Adams lives in London now, but he used to come all the time,” Patti Lombardo says. “He used to come Tuesday or Wednesday evening at about 10 p.m., when there were no crowds to bother him. He’s a vegetarian, so he would get a mushroom pizza. He’d sit there and go, ‘You know what? This is the best pizza in the world.’ ”

Lombardo’s is known for its wood-oven-fired pizza and features several pizzas, calzones, and pasta dishes that are vegetarian on the menu.

My Chipotle Winner Oso Closo Is Fond Of Veggie Burrito

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 in Bands, Business, Food & Drink, Restaurants, Videos.

Chipotle restaurant held a contest to see what band could come up with the best ad.

The winners, a Denton, TX band named Oso Closo, won and now are $10,000 richer with a burrito in their name soon to be available.

Although the band sings of “steak, peppers and onions, black beans, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, roasted chili-corn salsa, and tomato red-chili salsa,” band mate Chris McQueen says that’s not necessarily what you have to get and recognizes the vegetarians who might like Chipotle.

“No one in the band is vegetarian, but I am fond of the veggie burrito, so I’ve already considered that. I feel fairly confident that your average Chipotle burrito-ista could handle an ‘Oso Closo, no steak.'”

Rock on!

Watch the ad featuring Oso Closo above.
