Top Chef contestant Andrea Curto-Randazzo says the celebrity she had the most fun cooking for was Mike D. of the Beastie Boys.

“I was pretty excited to cook for the Beastie Boys. While I was at Wish there were quite a few celebrities that came in. They were really cool. During the MTV Awards their manager called up and was asking about all these vegetarian things because Mike D was a vegetarian.”

Fellow band member Adam Yauch adopted a vegan diet after undergoing treatment for cancer.

And a restaurant in San Francisco, Weird Fish, thinks the Beastie Boys are so much fun, they’ve redone a traditional seafood dish into a vegan one.

Adam Yauch of the the Beastie Boys is recovering from cancer treatments after being diagnosed with the disease in his salivary gland in July 2009.

Yauch took a trip to India to take advice from Tibetan doctors, who recommended eating a vegan, organic diet, however, Yauch found eating vegan in India is not as easy as expected.

In a message to his fans, Yauch, better known as MCA, explained:

“so i just got back from dharamsala, india. went over there to see some tibetan doctors, but as it worked out, the Dalai Lama was giving a 3 day teaching, so i was able to attend that as well.”

“i’m feeling healthy, strong and hopeful that i’ve beaten this thing, but of course time will tell. i’m taking tibetan medicine and at the recommendation of the tibetan doctors i’ve been eating a vegan/organic diet, which surprisingly enough was harder to do in india than it is now that i’m back home. here i can just shop for the right food and cook… a lot easier than depending on restaurants.”

Fellow Beastie Boy Mike D also found vegan food to be a charm, and even hired his own personal chef at one time.

The tumor was said to be in a location that did not affect Yauch’s vocal cords, but the new release date for the next album Hot Sauce Committee Part 1, which was originally set for September 15, has not been determined.
