When in Vegas, world renown poker player Annie Duke likes to patronize a few of her favorite restaurants in and around the casinos.

Annie indicated to Forbes that the healthiest restaurants aren’t in the casinos.

Most of her recommendations in the casinos were designed for the pescatarian, but one establishment in particular sounds like the perfect place for a vegetarian who loves to pull the slot machines.

“There is a great Indian restaurant called Mint, which has good vegan options,” Annie said.

The menu at Mint Indian Bistro contains many of the items you’d normally find at an Indian buffet like samosas and naan, along with a note under each item indicating if the meal is vegetarian or vegan friendly.

Suddenly Sin City isn’t so sinful anymore.

“We Are Scientists” Keith Murray–Sexier Than AFI Davey Havok

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, January 21st, 2010 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians.

2009 All Points West Music & Arts Festival - Day 3 - Show

Keith Murray, band member of We Are Scientists, was nominated for World’s Sexiest Vegetarian in 2007.

Sure, he’s cute, but unfortunately, his boyish charm wasn’t enough to beat AFI‘s Davey Havok.

And he’s a little cocky about the defeat.

“I’m not gonna say that I think I deserved to win,” Murray told Penn State’s Daily Collegian. “But I certainly deserved to beat that guy!”

Murray attributes his decision to go vegetarian after eating a “college diet” of cereal and gummy bears.

Hello?!

Unless those were some Annie Duke-like gelatin free Sunny Bears, that diet wasn’t exactly vegetarian.

Perhaps Murray bought the vegan version on the campus natural foods store.

Annie Duke‘s mail order company My Mixed Nuts features gummy bears without the gelatin, sunny bears.

However, Annie has recently announced to her Twitter followers that she’s not vegetarian..right before she announced she was getting some love from a vegan soup.

“Lunch at Mani’s…Yummy curry cauliflower and chickpea soup. Vegan :)”

Your average burger lover usually doesn’t Tweet about cauliflowers and chickpeas.

Has Annie joined the club of flexitarians or part time vegetarians?

Is she a fish eating veggie?

Or does she just want to kick vegan Daniel Negreanu‘s butt at the poker table, edamame present or not.

Annie Duke “My Mixed Nuts” Sunny Vegetarian Gummy Bears

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, December 27th, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink.

Poker champion Annie Duke has a mail order service offering nuts and trail mix combinations called My Mixed Nuts.

One such mix of nuts available for purchase is the “Gummy Delicious” bag, which comes with dark chocolate chips, sour cherries, roasted and salted almonds, raw macadamia nuts, golden raisins and “sunny bears.”

What the heck are sunny bears?

Organic and vegetarian versions of gummy bears!

That’s right, no gelatin my friends.

Annie came up with the idea of My Mixed Nuts after not finding the perfect combo of nuts, seeds and fruits in trail mixes she purchased at grocery stores.

Annie would pick through the bags and throw away the undesired content.

Forming business partnerships with Apprentice producer Ryan Simpkins and boyfriend Joe Reitman and with the help of Simpkins mother to run the website, Annie turned My Mixed Nuts from a dream to reality.

Question of the day.

Did Annie purposely ensure her “sunny bears” would be suitable for vegetarians?

Wonder if Daniel Negreanu carries a sunny bear mix in his pocket while playing the chips.

Make your own trail mix and grab some sunny bears at mymixednuts.com.
