Vegetarian Star

Clarke Peters, star in the new HBO series set in post Katrina New Orleans, Treme, shares the same taste in food as the network’s president of entertainment, Sue Naegle.

But like Russell Simmons said, Peters insists that The Big Easy isn’t easy at all for someone for follows a strict vegetarian or vegan diet.

“There’s [the West African restaurant] Bennachin,” Peters told North Jersey. “Then there’s [Café] Bamboo, around the corner at the end of Esplanade. Other than that, the only place to eat vegetarian in New Orleans is my house.”

After seeing only a couple of more restaurants other than what Peters named on Yelp.com, it’s clear you need to make a reservation at his house when you book the train or flight to Louisiana.

Treme airs Sundays at 10PM on HBO.

HBO‘s Treme aims to portray the city of New Orleans post Katrina in as much accurate detail as possible, including the characters and the events surrounding them.

One of those characters is the real life Kermit Ruffins and his mobile barbecue joint.

HBO’s president of entertainment Sue Naegle visited the set of Treme when scenes involving Ruffins’ barbecue stand were being filmed.

Apparently, New Orleans barbecue is so good, it even entices a vegetarian.

“I’m a vegetarian,” Naegle said. “But that smells really good.”

Hey, no one said a veg never got tempted.

Maybe that’s why Russell Simmons said New Orleans is the most difficult place in the world to be vegan.

Thankfully, Morningstar Farms Hickory Barbecue Riblets have Naegle and any other barbecue loving vegetarian covered.

Treme is expected to begin airing on HBO in 2010.
