Vegetarian Star

Richard Linklater is an Academy award nominated film director and screen writer who’s credits include Fast Food Nation and School of Rock.

If you know Fast Food Nation, you know the story of the poor marketing director who, after discovering some good ol’ fecal matter in his company’s meat product, learns what other horrors come packaged in a “Value Meal.”

Linklater’s no fan of fast food, as he prefers “healthy mexican,” specifically, a restaurant in Austin, Texas called Mr. Natural.

“It’s this veggie Mexican food place, a healthy Mexican place, just about a mile on the East side on Cesar Chavez Avenue. It’s called Mr. Natural. It’s a healthy Mexican little buffet. It’s wonderful. It’s been there forever. It’s too good to be true. It’s a quick little buffet, you’re eating within like four minutes of when you walk in the door.”

Heading to Austin anytime soon? Mr. Natural’s menu offers vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, and wheat free dishes like Potato Flautas, Picadillo de Soya, Cabbage Rolls, Tofu a la Mexicana, and Tamales.

Heather Mills put on her overalls and picked up a bucket of paint this weekend to scrub and decorate the walls of her new vegan restaurant, V Bites, that will open July 4 in the UK.

She was accompanied by daughter with former husband Paul McCartney, Beatrice, as well as some friends.

Heather is taking quite an active role in V Bites. Besides scrubbing and painting the exteriors, she’ll also be a regular chef on Sundays, cooking her favorite veg dishes of roast potatoes, parsnips, and veggie gravy.

Heather said what will shock people the most is that the faux meats taste just like the real thing.

We shall see!

Absolutely cool video of Benji and Joel Madden behind the scenes at Denny’s restaurant, making burritos for Denny’s Rockstar Menu.

Thanks to Joel for the lovely Tweet to direct us there.

The Rockstar menu was created by various musicians who went into Denny’s kitchen and whipped up their favorite grub.

Benji and Joel created a vegetarian burrito with a Boca Burger.

“Kids when you order this, I want you to imagine that we’re back here, making it for you, with love,” says Benji.

We will, Benji. We’ll keep the love alive.

Travis McCoy gave a Twitter update, where he gave props to one of his favorite vegetarian restaurants. It would have been nice if he had Tweeted what he ate.

“At my favorite veggie restaurant in NYC, CURLY’s gettin it IN.”

After looking at the menu, our vote is for quesadilla…or…who knows?

Curly’s has all the diner style food a laid back ordinary guy could ask for-but in vegetarian and vegan versions.

An extensive breakfast collection that includes pancakes and granola, an entire menu section devoted to “burger” and fries, as well as veg sandwiches like sloppy joes, “Suna Melt” (fake tuna) and “TLT” (tofu bacon, lettuce, and tomato).

If we were there right now, we’d be gettin’ it too!

Follow Travis to see what else he gets @Travismtv.

Earlier we brought you the news that Teany, the cafe and restaurant Moby co-founded with ex girlfriend Kelly Tisdale, was badly damaged by a fire.

At the time, Moby wasn’t sure what Kelly’s plans were for re-building, but now it looks as though Teany may be up and running in a couple of months.

On his online journal, Moby gave this update:

“teany burned up the other day, but apparently kelly is working hard to repair it and get it re-opened. so there’s a good chance that teany will re-open at some point in the next month or two. i will put news here on moby.com as i find out about it.”

Update: Alas, Teany will rise again! See link.

Teany Cafe, a tea and vegan food shop in New York founded by Moby and his then girlfriend Kelly Tisdale, experienced a fire this weekend.

Although no one was hurt, the store was destroyed, and it’s not sure whether or not Kelly will rebuild and reopen.

On his Myspace, Moby blogged:

“I believe that teany the cafe might, alas, be no more.”

“Yesterday there was a fire (no one was hurt, as far as I know), and teany was destroyed.”

“I need to ask kelly if she’s going to re-build it, and as soon as she says ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ I’ll let you know.”

“I’m really glad no one was hurt, and if anyone has pictures of teany post-fire I’d love to see them (as I’m in germany as I write this, and can’t go round to see the damage).”

Teany started off as both a tea and food shop when Kelly and Moby opened it.  Later, Teany became more of a hub for tea when Kelly took over most of the business decisions, although it still had a variety of vegan entrees on the menu.

Moby once remarked that Teany was so great because meat eaters were just as happy with the faux selections as vegetarians.

After a drawn out discussion and some investigation, we were saddened to learn that Hayley Williams of Paramore isn’t vegetarian after all.

During a conversation with Rob Pattinson, Hayley appeared as if she genuinely loved Gardenburgers.

But one thing Hayley does love is vegan desserts baked by Danielle Konya and her Vegan Treats crew.

On a recent Twitter, Danielle wrote:

“Tonight we baked for Paramore, No Doubt, and Eddie Vedder, fun!!”

The vegan bakery Danielle owns has baked goodies for several celebrities, including AFI and Alkaline Trio, who’s drummer Derek Grant recently wrote a jingle to express his love for Vegan Treats.

You can check out Vegan Treat’s new website, and follow Danielle’s tweeting @vegantreats.

Denny's All Nighter

All you late night fast food junkies can breathe a sign of relief.

At least there’s one place to visit where you can get some decent vegetarian fare at odd hours in the morning.

A few months ago, we told you, at its own risk, Denny’s restaurant let stars like Good Charlotte twin brothers Benji and Joel Madden into their kitchen to whip up burritos so they could attach a celebrity name to it.

The Denny’s Rock Star Menu #3 is out and features the boys’ creation of a Boca burger burrito with shredded cheese, sliced mushrooms, fire-roasted peppers and onions and spicy mayo. Both are served with tortilla chips and ranch dressing.

This option is available starting next week, but we have some unanswered questions.

Originally, vegetarian and vegan options were suppose to be available. While it’s easy to leave the cheese and mayo off, not every Boca burger is vegan.

Did vegans get ripped off? The only way to find out is to give a holler at the restaurant next week!
