Vegetarian Star

Rufus Wainwright has admitted to the press he’s succumbed his fleshly desires.

The singer who made OUT magazine’s top 100 celebrities and said he’d rather eat a seitan or tempeh reuben because he felt like the real thing was eating his pet dog apparently doesn’t have a pet lamb because he had no problem gobbling up Mary during an interview.

Fortunately, his better half still lets the lamb follow him back home without getting butchered.

Out Magazine, one of the leading gay fashion and lifestyle brands, has named musician Rufus Wainwright as one of its top 100 movers and shakers and otherwise notable people in LGBTQ community.

The last time we checked, Wainwright was going vegetarian because he discovered eating meat was much like eating his pet dog. Plus, there was his abnormally high cholesterol to be dealt with.

“It’s been 12 years since Rufus Wainwright released his self-titled debut album to a torrent of critical acclaim. Since then, Wainwright’s career trajectory has been anything but expected,” writes OUT.

Rufus Wainwright is well into his vegetarian conversion, except for the occasional slip here and there at the seafood restaurants in New York.

“I’ve become a vegetarian, and I’m adjusting,” Wainwright told the New York Post when he rambled off a list of his favorite eating spots in the area. “I admit, I have succumbed to in my vegetarian state occasionally, but don’t hate me.”

Luckily, there is Provisions Natural Foods Market and Organic Cafe in Sag Harbor to counteract all that fishy karma.

Rufus Wainwright is rethinking his decision to take bunny sandwiches to work everyday, like the rabbit schnitzel dish he ate on Cooking With The Band earlier this year, for both concern for the animals’ and his health.

“I’m becoming a vegetarian soon,” Wainwright said. “I feel bad about eating meat – it’s the same thing as eating a pet dog when it comes to it.”

If you can get past that episode of Dinner with the Band that had Rufus Wainwright as a guest at the table for a meal of rabbit food (and no, we don’t mean greens), you might be excited to hear he’s a fan of macrobiotic food.

In the New York Post‘s 10 of the Moment article, Wainwright says he likes to frequent Souen on East 13th Street.

“It’s a great place to get macrobiotic food, but the only problem is you get gassy. But it’s cool to stink,” he said.

Can’t smell any worse than fried rabbit legs.

Souen is very vegetarian and vegan friendly.

Since some types of fish are sometimes used in macrobiotic eating, this is a place for pescatarians as well.

Try the homemade seitan dumplings filled with “seitan, chinese cabbage, scallion, shiitake, garlic, and ginger.”

You may stink later, but the food will smell great as you eat it.

The Independent Film Channel’s Dinner With The Band debuted its second season with host and chef Sam Mason inviting singer Rufus Wainwright to cook up schnitzel, spaetzle and sauerkraut.

The schnitzel, a dish traditionally made with meat anyway, was a rabbit rolled in breadcrumbs.

As a sheltered vegetarian who grew up on organic tofu and Amy’s dinners, only being forced to look at the norm animal entrees of chicken and beef, the idea of bunny burgers was unbelievable and required some extra investigation (April Fool’s is over, right?).

Those bunnies only exist to lay chocolate covered, cream filled Cadbury eggs around Easter.

Sure enough, there are even USDA recommendations for cooking Thumper, along with this “how to video” you’ll see below.

If future Dinner with the Band shows are anything like this week’s premiere, you need to run like the wind from this opening act before the main group even takes the stage.
