Vegetarian Star

The Foo Fighters aren’t complete vegetarian haters.

After all, they didn’t turn down and even praised the winning vegan cornbread stuffing during a guest chef appearance on Top Chef.

But in a comical, 52-page tour rider containing animated drawings, funny lists and other satirical written material, the band jokingly reminds staff to remember their vegetarian crew members who unfortunately, weren’t gotten rid of by “the crusades.”

These instructions are included with menu no-nos, which include “pubic hair,” and punishments for not following instructions, which including receiving a wedgie.

Natalie Portman will be making a special guest appearance on Bravo’s Top Chef in the upcoming season six, which premiers Wednesday, August 26th at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Since Nat is a hard core vegan, the cheftestants will probably be given the challenge of whipping up something meatless, eggless, and dairyless for the actress.

Top Chef had a vegan experience last year, when the Food Fighters were invited during the Thanksgiving episode and requested the chefs cater for their crew of 60 people, some of which were vegetarian.

The vegan cornbread stole the show last year. Will another veg dish be a big hit?

Crossing our fingers none of the cheftestants “chicken” out like last year’s Carla and go with a meaty dish when they really wanted to make a vegetarian one.

On a recent Top Chef Elimination Challenge, the chefs had it easy-serve up whatever you want that best showcases your talent.

Contestant Carla really wanted to serve a vegetarian dish, but thought not having a protein would make her lose points.

Maybe it’s time for Carla to take a basic nutrition course as well as cooking classes. Although the judges might not be tofu and tempeh fans, there are plenty of plant based proteins that would have made her dish shine like beans, lentils, or whole grain pasta. If vegan was good enough for the Foo Fighters, it most certainly would have impressed the judges that day.

But she settled for tossing scallops into a mint risotto.

This was double elimination night, so Carla, Melissa, and Eugene were put on the front line and Carla was rescued for another week. Saved by the scallop? Nah, she could have shined otherwise.

The Foo Fighters made a special guest appearance on Bravo’s Top Chef.

The band presented the elimination challenge to the food teams, which was to prepare a Thanksgiving feast for everybody in their crew, a total of over 60 people, some of which were vegetarian. The winning team would be invited to a concert later that night.

Team “Sexy Pants,” served the Foo Fighters and other judges vegan cornbread stuffing, which went over quite well and was preferred to the other team’s creations.

Check out lots of pictures of “Foo Fighters Thanksgiving.”

“Top Chef” is television series on the Bravo Network where chefs compete against each other in weekly challenges and are eliminated by judges who are professional chefs or otherwise notable people in the food industry.

Tattoo artist Henk Schiffmacher has created skin designs for celebrities such as members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Robbie Williams, and Curt Cobain.

Now he’s becoming a celebrity himself, starring in PETA Netherlands’ ad “Ink, Not Mink.”

“I’ve seen the slaughter of silver foxes with electrodes and the gassing of minks – and piles of dead bodies,” Schiffmacher said. “And it ain’t a pretty sight.”

“We hope that Henk’s ad will remind people that, while getting a tattoo can sting a bit, we can choose whether or not to get one,” said PETA Europe Director Robbie LeBlanc. “Animals tortured and killed for their skins and fur don’t have a choice – and they pay with their lives.”

We’ve included the video Schiffmacher stars in, but only our Dutch speaking friends and others who know the language will be able to understand it. However, we can all understand pain, regardless of the language we speak. And we can all at least see Schiffmacher making a difference.
