Vegetarian Star

Olivia Wilde recently went to a restaurant that did not take good care of the vegetarian customer.

Her experience was so bad, she had to Tweet about it.

And this establishment was one Kitchen Nightmare.

“Went to a depressing vegetarian-hating restaurant with bad wine in WINE country. No excuses. Wish I was Gordon Ramsay and could fix them.”

You tell ‘em Olivia!

What’s the worst vegetarian-hating experience you’ve had in a restaurant?

Gordon Ramsay traveled to Boco Raton, Florida in a recent episode of Kitchen Nightmares to clean up the menu and kitchen at Anna Vincenzo’s Italian restaurant.

As part of the grand reopening of the eatery, Anna Vincenzo’s held a celebrity pizza making contest, where athletes from the Miami Dolphins, Miami Heat and Florida Panthers had to construct the perfect pizza in 3 minutes.

Non meat eating Miami Heat forward James Jones won’t touch the pizza he made for the judges because he put meat on it thinking it would impress them and said he didn’t know what else to put on it, even though tubs of veggies like mushrooms and peppers can be seen in the clip.

Such a shame, considering the vegetarian pizzas on Anna Vincenzo’s menu outnumber the meat ones 5:3!

Guess more Floridians are impressed with meat-free after all.

Yay, Gordon Ramsay doesn’t hate vegetarians anymore.

The Kitchen Nightmares host visited a restaurant in California where some of the employees won’t even eat the food.

Why?

Because they’re vegetarian!

In an attempt to clean up the mess, Gordon samples a vegetarian item from the menu–an eggplant roll stuffed with mozzarella.

“Crunchy eggplant,” Gordon remarks. “Undercooked. Eggplants shouldn’t be

In the end, the restaurant made some very good changes to the menu, including the addition of another vegetarian item–vegetable grilled flatbread.

Gordon Ramsay may be trying to make up with vegetarians after a slew of negative comments about the diet.

However, an experience that occurred while cooking a vegan dish may make him even more bitter.

The Kitchen Nightmares chef nicked his finger while he was cutting vegetables on Ellen DeGeneres‘ show.

Gordon seemed surprised that a great cook like himself would ever make such a mistake.

“I haven’t cut myself in 10 years,” he said.

Grab the recipe for Spicy Vegetable Stir Fry containing fresh carrots, mushrooms and other vegetables sauteed in agave sweetened sauce, but don’t hurt yourself like Gordon.

Knives are sharp. Accidents happen. Be careful in the kitchen!

Heather Mills may have been booted from Dancing On Ice, but her reality TV career is far from over.

The vegan chef and entrepreneur has announced she’d like a reality TV show where celebrities experience living with disabilities, according to The Telegraph.

And she already has one person in mind for the cast lineup–the famous “There’s no bigger pain in the world than a vegetarian” Gordon Ramsay.

“If it’s Gordon Ramsay, shove him in a kitchen and see if he can cook for the restaurant if he’s blindfolded, and have him live like that for a week,” Heather said.

Oh, no. Hope Gordon doesn’t catch on fire cooking any numerous animals like chicken, lamb or even puffin.

Better yet, blindfold Gordon, make him cook for a week, then feed him fake versions of real meat to see if he notices a difference.

Once he’s exposed on television for loving the taste of faux chicken, beef and pork, he’ll be banned from making another rude, anti-vegetarian remark again.

Jennifer Swab, director of sustainability for the Sierra Club Green Home, took a trip to Chrissie Hynde‘s vegan Italian restaurant, The Vegiterranean.

As expected, reviews of the restaurant’s food were great.

“So how was my meal at VegiTERRANEAN? Spiced tomatoes and chick peas with baby arugula, tofu feta and crustini. Fresh tomato and artichoke bisque with fresh dill. For the main course, fresh whole wheat linguini carbonara with smoked “gardein” chicken, asparagus and leeks. “Gardein” is a type of garden grown protein, actually quite tasty and fulfilling in a tofu sort of way for us “gotta have meat” types. Prices are moderate, the food was fabulous — kudos to executive chef J. Scot Jones — but the service was on the uneven side at best. Let’s just say the kitchen operations could use a tune up.”

Uh-oh. Uneven service doesn’t sound like a total kitchen nightmare, but could operations behind the counter be in need of a little Gordon Ramsay foul mouthed pep talk?

Ramsay should visit anyway, and be forced to down some tofu as punishment for his dozens of snide anti-veg remarks.

Gordon Ramsay‘s reality TV show that featured him touring India, Gordon’s Great Escape, was supposed to highlight Indian food while positively exposing the rich culture of the country.

But things took a negative turn when more than 100 viewers complained about Ramsay’s behavior from a recent episode of Great Escape, which featured him making fun of both Indian culture and vegetarian food.

The F Word and Hell’s Kitchen star met a chef who tried to teach him to cook vegetarian.

However, he failed to show respect for both Indian vegetarian food and culture.

Ramsay, who claimed he had never eaten a dish without meat said, “When I first saw him I thought he was Father Christmas. But I don’t dig all the stuff about the food. I respect carrots, fine, but they’re not living to keep us happy.”

One reader wrote in response to Gordon’s behavior on OneIndia.com:  “I thought Gordon’s Great Escape was offensive and disrespectful! The Father Christmas comment about the guru was uncalled for. His swearing was disgusting.”

As previously reported, Gordon Ramsay took a tour of India last year to film his reality TV show, Gordon’s Great Escape.

Gordon’s Great Escape featured much vegetarian cooking and given the Hell’s Kitchen chef’s history of negative comments about the food, some wondered how Ramsay would react in the land of veggies and curry.

Apparently, some of the experiences weren’t stimulating enough.

“Lentils, pumpkins, I can’t get excited with seeds,” he said, according to the BBC Radio 1. “I don’t want to sit down and eat a nut roast. I need meat, fish and chicken.”

Sigh…Maybe the next veg escape will be more titillating.
