Katie Couric‘s got a thing for a vegetarian sandwich from The Lunch Box on 9th Avenue in New York City.

The sandwich Couric’s co-workers call “The Veggie,” consists of “pepper jack cheese with avocado, lettuce, tomato, sprouts, carrots, cucumber, peppers and honey mustard on toasted multigrain bread.”

This was reported in an article from the New York Post on what  NYC’s top dogs chew on in between Blackberry messages–cause you know they don’t have time to take a regular lunch!

Simon Doonan, creative director at Barney’s is into vegetarian and even vegan offerings from Mangia on 57th Street, citing his favorite dishes as hummus, brown rice and the black bean soup bowl, of which he sometimes gets two helpings of.

Who said it’s hard to eat veggie and healthy at work unless you brown bag it?

What’s your favorite dish to grab “to go” when you can’t make it from scratch?

Ellen DeGeneres was interviewed by Katie Couric and she told Katie about her motivation for going vegan.

It all started with a little film narrated by Joaquin Phoenix.

“I watched a documentary, Earthlings,” Ellen said. “It’s inside footage of factory farms; 50 billion animals a year are killed. They’re in pain, treated badly, diseased, pumped full of antibiotics. I saw the reality and just couldn’t ignore it. And I’m healthier and happier.”

You’ve heard Ellen’s reason’s for giving up meat, dairy, fish, cheese and poultry.

What’s yours?
