Vegetarian Star

A new film that tackles the issue of America’s dependency on foreign oil, Fuel, is screening in theatres across the country.

During the film, director Josh Tickell, rides across the nation in a vegetable oil powered van interviewing politicians, celebrity activists, and academics on a variety of alternative energy issues.

Know who else rides around in a veggie oil powered set of wheels?

Fred Mascherino, ex guitarist for Taking Back Sunday and creator of musical project, The Color Fred.

We bet Fred keeps his pants on while driving though.

Fred Mascherino, ex Taking Back Sunday guitarist and singer recently spoke with phillyist.com about how he gets his grub on while touring.

Apparently, there are a few places that probably know Fred by name as they’re on his radar when he’s in the cities.

“…I’ve spent more time on the road than at home the last several years, I’ve come up with my little… I know what state I’m in and where there is to eat there. In Baltimore there’s the Paper Moon Diner. In Boston there’s Grasshopper and there’s this vegetarian hot dog joint I always go to. In Austin, Texas, there’s a Thai place I love. So I get to know these places; I’m out [on the road] so much that I kind of memorize all these places that I like to eat”

Fred’s little black book of veggie restaurants seems to cover a lot of ground.

Sounds as if this guy’s never without a dinner date.

Fred Mascherino, ex Taking Back Sunday guitarist and singer who went on to form the band The Color Fred, is so green he’s “phat” off oil!

Vegan Fred has a car that runs on vegetable oil he gets from a Chinese restaurant. Luckily, they don’t fry in lard, otherwise raising the animal who’s fat will eventually run the car kinda cancels out any eco-friendliness.

Using our own fat? Well, that might reduce at least somebody’s footprint-literally.

“Being vegan is about the best thing a person can do to be “green,” Fred said. “Using less, buying less and eating less is the idea but even just eating a little less meat makes a difference.”

The next obvious question is how Fred pays for his oil. It would be COOL to walk into China Express and say, “I’ll take what I ate this week in fuel.”

Some sources even recommend, “Develop a relationship with the manager or owner of local establishments. Tell him or her that you’re interested in collecting their waste vegetable oil. Offer to do it for free.”

We smell and taste an All You Can Eat Oil Club program forming at businesses soon.

Taking Back Sunday is about to release their newest album, New Again, on June 2nd.

Popwreckoning got a chance to chat with guitarist and back up vocalist Matthew Fazzi (shown on the right) before he jammed at a show in Kansas City.

Fazzi must work up an appetite during shows, because he was asking about checking out vegetarian restaurants afterwards.

PW: Well, you’ll have to be sure to check out the city after the show.
MF: Yeah! Do you have any suggestions?
PW: What do you like to do?
MF: I’m vegetarian, so if you know any vegetarian places that would be great. Parks, historical landmarks…

Of course, if Fazzi has an iphone (and like, OMG, who doesn’t?), he can install the VegOut application that lets you search for vegetarian and vegan restaurants and stores in any city or state.

VegOut was created by Champ Bennett, another musician and software designer on the side, after he found finding somewhere to eat in Europe a royal pain.

Musicians know best, Matthew. Take it from someone in the club and get VegOut already!

Denny's All Nighter

Veg Brothers Benji and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte recently made vegetarian and vegan burritos at Denny’s in Los Angeles!

The burritos will be available on Denny’s Allnighter Rockstar Menu.

Yes, Canadians may have their KFC vegan faux chicken sandwich, but now folks in the U.S. have another veg option in a traditionally fast food restaurant.

Since Benji and Joel are both known and outspoken vegetarians as well as known rockstars, who better to choose to be the poster boys of veg Denny’s?

The Rock Star Menus were created when Denny’s allowed musicians like Katy Perry, Taking Back Sunday, Boys Like Girls, and Hoobastank into the kitchen (dangerous, we know) to cook up what they like to chow down on after hours.

Benji and Joel’s creations will be featured on the third Rock Star Menu, which is launching this summer.

Men with guitars are sexy enough. Men with guitars who can cook are almost too much to handle. 

You can view more pics of the Madden brothers in Denny’s Kitchen over at Denny’s blog.
