GQ magazine has named Philadelphia’s vegan restaurant Vedge as one of the top 13 restaurants of 2013.

Complete with a dinner, dessert, cocktail and beer and wine menu, Vedge was the only plant-based restaurant to make it to writer Alan Richman’s list.

His experience may bring more veggie company to Vedge on next year’s list of favorite restaurants.

“I had no idea so much flavor could be delivered without butter, cream, milk, eggs, and other kitchen staples,” Richman wrote.

Yotom Ottolenghi Talks Vegetarianism To “GQ”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, November 28th, 2012 in Authors, Chefs, Food & Drink.


Yotam Ottolenghi is definitely in style, as he’s devoted an entire cookbook to plant-based cooking.

GQ UK picked up on this and decided to sit with the chef and author for a one-on-one session where explained that most people don’t realize what they’re missing when they pass on cauliflower.

“They always have this image of cauliflower cheese – awful, sticky, creamy and rich. In fact this is the opposite,” he told the magazine.

No mushy, cheesy cauliflower never turned anyone vegetarian.

Not that he’s trying.

Olivia Wilde GQ October 2009: A Vegan Perfect Picture

Vegan House actress Olivia Wilde is gracing the cover of the October 2009 issue of GQ magazine and she’s giving the vegs a darn good name.

Apparently before the interview, the reporter had this “fantasy” plan of how everything would be conducted, including Olivia eating veggie burgers at In and Out.

Um, In-n-Out has veggie burgers? Don’t see any on the menu.

“We’re going to shoot sloppy pool and play Galaga and persuade two burly Hells Angels on their Harleys to drive us to an In-N-Out Burger, where I’ll order the Double-Double and Olivia, a vegetarian, will have a veggie burger and maybe a few fries, because, you know, she’s drunk, and those fries are amazing. Then we’ll climb into the hills and scale the famous hollywood sign, where we’ll sit until sunrise on opposite sides of the giant H, and Olivia will grandly recall her adventures in show business before she throws up, as I hold her flowing brown hair.”

Christian Bale No Longer Vegetarian: Vampire Cravings Got To Him

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 in Actors, Not So Vegetarian.

Premiere of the Warner Bros movie Terminator SalvationIn a recent interview with GQ magazine, Dark Night Terminator dude Christian Bale has admitted to some less than vegetarian ways.

Bale failed to pay his membership dues to the veg club shortly after completing filming for American Psycho.

The bodybuilding and unbuilding you’ve done for your roles is alarming—the former all the more so for its being accomplished without any animal protein.
Actually, I’m in and out of the vegetarianism now. But yeah, the majority of the building up you’re talking about was done when I was still a vegetarian.

Dietary reasons? Or something to do with the character?
I was up in Toronto and went to see that movie Life Is Beautiful. By myself. And when I came out, I had a craving for blood unlike anything I had ever experienced since I decided to go vegetarian at the age of 7. It was a compulsion. It was undeniable. I went to several restaurants, one right after the other, and got the biggest, bloodiest steaks I could get my hands on. It was the first time I had tasted flesh in almost twenty years.

Argh! Life is beautiful, but not so much for animals when Christian gets his vampire cravings for bloody steak.

Why the change of heart (less), man?
