Vegetarian Star

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!

Given the fact both the co-founders of Twitter, Biz Stone and Evan Williams, are vegan and vegetarian,  it’s no surprise their expanded headquarters in San Francisco are very veggie and earth friendly.

The cafe, pictured below, provides lunches for employees, much of which is vegan.

Yes, free vegan lunches are quite the perks, but good luck getting your resume through to one of the hottest tech organizations to launch in the past decade.

Twitter Co-Founders Biz Stone and Evan Williams announced a side project for Twitter last year–making wine.

The company is making both California Chardonnay and a Pinot Noir under the wine label “Fledgling” and donating the proceeds to Room To Read, a non-profit organization supporting literacy programs around the world.

Having a drink with a fellow vegetarian like Biz would be the greatest pleasure, especially considering he’s already done his research on how to stay vegan and tipsy.

Biz told Winespectator:

“You can find wines that are not filtered through isinglass [or egg whites]. One of our board members recently had us over for dinner and selected wines that were all vegan. That was thoughtful … We’ve been to Spain a bunch of times. We have a lot of fun getting tapas in a veggie format. This past New Year’s Eve, we decided to stay home because I’d done so much traveling. We made a bunch of tapas and drank cava.”

Don’t forget to check your favorite wine against the vegan friendly wine list and follow the progress of Twitter’s Fledgling wine label @fledgling.

Oh, giggities. We don’t know exactly how to contain ourselves. We love Twitter, tweet regularly, and hope that you follow us.

So it was a pleasant surprise to learn Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, is a vegan!

We tried to bring you the story in less than 140 characters, but you know…that’s kinda difficult. But you can 140 character him @Biz.

In an interview with the New York Times, reporter Maureen Dowd joked that people might not really care what you’re doing (thus, why Tweet about it).

Do you ever think “I don’t care that my friend is having a hamburger?”

BIZ: If I said I was eating a hamburger, Evan would be surprised because I’m a vegan.

Oh, yeah. Go Biz!
