Quantcast Vegetarian StarLeanne Marshall

Project Runway Finalists Fashion Show - Backstage - Spring 09 MBFW

A little update on that vegetarian sushi roll named after season 5 winner of Project Runway, Leanne Marshall. Although previous reports said Marshall had created the roll herself, The Portland Mercury is reporting the roll was already on the menu, and H50 Bistro & Bar simply named it after her, once she described what she looks for in a sushi roll.

Marshall said, “Basically, I told him that I normally go for vegetarian/non-fish sushi and then my favorite things: avocado, hot sauce, cilantro (and then listed pretty much all the ingredients to make a burrito. Ha!) As long as it had avocado and something spicy, I left the rest up to the professional chef. If it were me making it, yes, I would probably have tried to make burrito-sushi, and it would likely be a disaster!”

A picture of the burrito-sushi can be viewed below.

Project Runway season 5 winner Leanne Marshall has designed a fashionable, edible treat that will benefit the cleanup efforts directed at the Gulf Coast oil spill.

For each month during the summer, H5O Bistro & Bar in Portland, Oregon has teamed up with local celebrities to create a sushi roll that benefits the celebrity’s charity of choice.

Marshall created a vegetarian sushi roll with cabbage salad and spicy aioli that benefits Oceana, Eater reports. The organization is the largest international one dedicated to ocean conservation.

Oceana has created a map that is regularly updated on the oil spill and the areas it affects, especially as it pertains to wildlife. Wildlife covered in oil and areas of oiled beaches are indicated, as well as the thickness of the oil in a particular area. Wildlife tracked include brown pelicans, sea turtles, and tuna.
