Biz Stone‘s segment on The Martha Stewart Show has been posted to Gawker.

“One of the things we like to do is we like to take real comfort food [and make it vegan]. And this particular food is like a stew that’s really great during a rainy day,” Biz said.

Biz revealed that when his wife Livia is cooking at home, he reads books to her while she’s at the stovetop.

“We have a bunch of classic books. We just finished Treasure Island. We have a lot of the Sherlock Holmes stories…That’s kind of like, my role in the kitchen.”

Using Westsoy brand of seitan, Biz and Martha walk through the steps of cooking seitan bourguignon. While Martha is stirring the seitan, Biz jokes, “I guess I should be reading to you.”

When Biz Stone wants pizza delivered, he doesn’t have to worry about ordering one of those weird, cheeseless ones with only sauce and vegetables.

Stone, who is scheduled to make seitan on Martha Stewart’s special vegan episode tomorrow, is lucky enough to live near Amici’s–an East Coast style pizzeria on the West Coast in California that offers vegan pizza topped with the popular Daiya vegan cheese delivered to his door.

Biz Stone and his business partner and co-founder of Twitter, Evan Williams, are celebrating five years of saying it in 140 characters.

Stone was recently a guest on Conan O’Brien‘s show when the subject of some of Stone’s past Tweets came up. One of those Tweets was about Stone discovering Amtrak  offered a vegan burger. Stone Tweeted,”Wow, Amtrak serves a vegan burger! Nice.”

“I would not have that burger,” Conan said while laughing.

Well, that’s surely his choice, but we think Conan will miss out on some serious foodie fun!

The last time someone attempted to show a connection between the U.S. and Egypt, it was Jon Stewart forcing a camel to stand outside in the snow. As you can see from the video, that attempt was a big FAIL.

The vegan co-founder of Twitter has made a connection between a historic uprising in the Middle East and one of the United State’s most active sanctuaries for abused and abandoned farm animals, Farm Sanctuary. In Biz Stone‘s opinion, both the sanctuary and the events in Egypt teach the lesson of human empathy.

“I think empathy is what it’s about,” Stone was quoted by the Herald Tribune as saying. “Technology in general, and social media especially, are helping the world become a smaller place. These days, you can look down on your mobile phone and see what’s happening halfway around the world, walk in their shoes, and feel an empathy you wouldn’t otherwise feel.”

Business Week has featured an article online that highlights the growing number of CEOs and equally powerful folks going vegan.

“Steve Wynn, Mort Zuckerman, Russell Simmons, and Bill Clinton are now using tempeh to assert their superiority. As are Ford Executive Chairman of the Board Bill Ford (F), Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, venture capitalist Joi Ito, Whole Foods Market (WFMI) Chief Executive Officer John Mackey, and Mike Tyson. Yes, Mike Tyson, a man who once chewed on human ear, is now vegan.”

Biz Stone is talking to himself in Stolichnaya Vodka‘s new ad campaign featuring the tagline, “Would You Have A Drink With You?”

Stone’s alter ego is much like Moby in a similar video where his evil twin derides his every accomplishment.

“Did it ever occur to you that Twitter is just a constant stream of meaningless babble?” Stone asks Stone.

“You’re not seeing the big picture,” Stone said. “Astronauts are tweeting from space. And the pace of business changed forever.”

Several celebrities who have starred in the Stoli campaign include Julia Stiles and Hugh Hefner.

Stolichnaya Vodka, like the Twitter co-founder, is vegan-friendly.
