Vegetarian Star

Although we’re still trying to figure out why the “Fat Mike” burger on the Thistle Hill Tavern menu is a beef one given the NOFX musician turned to vegetarianism several years ago, reviews of the restaurant in Brooklyn are good.

Martini Boys states that, “Chef Rebecca Weitzman has constructed a menu to appease both carnivores and legitimate vegetarians,” and recent reviews on Yelp! are praising the vegetarian options.

“For dinner, we had the vegan burgers – my fiance had his with bleu cheese, and i had mine with cheddar. we both agreed they were the BEST veggie burgers we’ve ever had! the buns were homemade and tasted like it! the fries were thick, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. and to top it off – the ketchup was also homemade! unbelievably good.”

And maybe even the meat eaters will trade the Fat Mike grass fed burger for the vegan one sometime.

“I think the coolest thing about the menu is that there is a ton of vegetarian options. I’m a meat eater, but don’t want a steak everytime I go out. More importantly, each of those meat-free dishes looked tempting enough to me to forgo meat for the night. I will definitely be back, and I will definitely bring friends.”

Green Pea Falafel, zucchini pancakes, charred kale and spiced nuts and seeds are several other  meatless options available.

Fat Mike, from the American punk rock band formed in San Francisco, NOFX, is one of the owners of the Thistle Hill Tavern in Brooklyn, New York.

Fat Mike once sang a song mocking vegetarians, and although Vegetarian Mumbo Jumbo contains phrases like, “I don’t feel bad about/Eating something that’s dead/So why should I be sad/For cows getting hit in the head?” he later became a vegetarian, citing that, “people change.”

Definitely for the better.

However, the menu at Thistle Hill Tavern co-owned by the NOFX musician has the “Fat Mike” burger being a beefy, grass fed one, despite the fact there’s a vegan burger also on the menu which comes with fried fennel.

Might this have been coined based on Fat Mike’s days of Vegetarian Mumbo Jumbo?

Or did Fat Mike make a change again for the worse?
