Vegetarian Star

Don’t let the name fool you.

Just because Kevin Bacon‘s got pork in his surname, doesn’t mean he can’t enjoy vegan food.

The actor was spotted grabbing a bite to eat at vegetarian restaurant Real Food Daily in West Hollywood, according to Access Hollywood.

And how’s this for a Six Degrees of Separation game?

Kevin Bacon is married to Kyra Sedgwick.

Kyra is the sister of Rob Sedgwick.

Rob owns and operates a vegan ice cream parlor, Stogo, in New York City.

“Everyone absolutely LOVED our vegan pizzas with Daiya vegan cheese (thanks Bob and Julia for the help!) so the night was a success!”

When we found out actor and brother of Kyra Sedgwick, Rob Sedgwick had co-founded a vegan ice cream parlor in New York, we got on the phone pronto begging for his attention. Actually, we didn’t have to beg, as he happily agreed to talk to us about Stogo, which currently offers 20 dairy free flavored varieties.

On his Steak and Egg Eating Habits
That was joke [what was mentioned in the New York Observer]. I eat very well. I eat salads and I never eat fried stuff. But I’ve certainly had a more “conventional diet.”

On being a non vegan running a vegan ice cream shop
It’s valuable to have someone like me [non vegan] because I’ve eaten a lot of ice cream in my life. I think it tastes better than conventional ice cream. You don’t have that same sort of “blah” afterwards because it’s soy based and much lighter.

Everyone wants to have their own business. I think it’s a great idea. It’s a unique idea. In the beginning it took awhile to get the formula down, but now that we’ve got the formula down…You start off with one perception and then you’re expectations change and your goals change as you get further involved with something. Where I’m at now with this stuff, it’s the best stuff out there. It tastes sensational.

And people are genuinely happy. It’s wonderful seeing people that aren’t just, “Oh good it’s a dessert fix.” It’s more of a lifestyle thing.

Do you personally know any vegans or vegetarians?
Sure, we had vegan investors. My business partner is a vegan.

His favorite flavors
I love the chocolate fudge brownie. I love the mixed berry. But that’s like choosing among your kids.

Plans for future acting?
If the acting comes along [I’ll do it]. I’m having more fun writing (he recently completed a book on his memoirs) and doing the ice cream now, frankly. The nice thing about the ice cream thing that I wasn’t anticipating is it’s making people so happy, which is really quite wonderful. I think it’s also getting into that particular lifestyle. It’s not just vegan or health food people, it’s people who are lactose intolerant. We get a lot of people in here who just really dig the product.

Rob Sedgwick (“Law and Order”, “30 Rock”), actor and brother to actress Kyra Sedgwick, has opened a vegan ice cream parlor, Stogo, in New York City with business partner Steve Horn.

Sedgwick is not a vegan. He’s not even a vegetarian and The New York Observer describes him as a “steak ’n’ eggs, cholesterol-till-you-die man.”

Still, he recognizes the popularity of non dairy products.

“It’s a great product,” he said. “There’s nothing out there like it and we’re already doing really well.”

Sis Kyra is quite happy for her brother, as she was reported to have said, “When Rob first told me about it, I thought it was a fantastic idea. My friend is vegan, and I know that vegan is quite the thing these days.” She also added that if someone had told her five years ago that Rob would open a vegan ice cream shop, she would have told them they were ” totally insane.”

Some have criticized non vegetarians for taking advantage of the market and going into the business purely to make a profit. But on the other hand, the fact that these non vegs want to do a vegan business says a lot in the world where the dollar bill rules. Vegans and vegetarians make up a strong niche market that doesn’t show signs of weakening.

And it will never hurt Rob to gobble down some of his product every now and then to offset his steak and eggs footprint.
