Vegetarian Star

Vegetarians and meat eaters can get along and even eat together, so says Lauren Harb at the Huffington Post.

Harb reviewed several restaurants in the Los Angeles area that ranged from totally vegan to meat dominant with recessive veggie features.

Real Food Daily, a vegan food mecca, made the list to make everyone happy in mixed company.

“OK, I’ll be honest. Most meat-eaters aren’t dying to eat vegan cheese or meat substitutes when they can have the real thing. But it is with extreme confidence that I promise you, no matter what your diet will or won’t allow, you want to eat their Not-chos. More often than you probably should. And yes, you want to add the tofu taco mix. No, you won’t know the difference from the real thing.”

Besides Not-chos and tofu tacos, RFD is the place to get a glimpse of numerous LA celebs like Tobey Maguire, Elizabeth Berkley, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr and even meat loving country cutie Brad Paisley.

Is there an LA restaurant on Harb’s list that keeps you happy?

Two veggie will rule the silver screens this Friday December 4 as Brothers, starring Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman, will be released.

Both have always been vocal about the veg life.

Tobey has asked Congress to put some vegetarian food in school lunches instead of the usual road kill meatloaf.

Natalie can’t stop telling people how great it is to be vegan after reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s Eating Animals.

She also couldn’t stop bumming food off Tobey and his chef during the filming of Brothers.

Between the two, who would you rather do…

Jake Gyllenhaal interviewed Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire to discuss their upcoming film, Brothers.

As mentioned earlier, Natalie bummed off Tobey’s vegan chef on the set and was able to enjoy delish meals like falafel while filming.

When Natalie mentions that someone told her Tobey ate chocolate on the set, Tobey has to defend himself.

“Hold On. I want to address this chocolate thing,” Tobey jokes.

“There is a rice milk chocolate–a vegan rice milk chocolate that I eat.”

Is Tobey talking about the numerous dairy free candy bars like Dark Chocolate Raspberry, Dark Chocolate Almond and Sweet Chocolate Creamy Sweet from Rice Dream?

When it comes to the catering, the more vegetarians the better to make it easier on everyone who chooses cauliflower over chicken.

Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman star in Brothers, and the two not only got along well on screen, but during snack time as well.

When Natalie found out Tobey brought his own vegan chef to the set, she demanded that he share.

Natalie told marieclaire.com:

“Tobey Maguire brought his own vegan chef to the set. “I was like, ‘Um, could you make two of those?’”  “And I’d make a cute face, and they’d roll their eyes and give me another falafel.”

Although they say the camera adds 10 pounds, Natalie and Tobey probably never had to worry about finding bigger set clothes, since the vegan chef only served up the healthy stuff.

Wonder if Tobey convinced any other cast members to try a falafel from time to time?

This Friday, vegan Natalie Portman and almost vegan Tobey Maguire will star alongside each other in Brothers, a story about a woman who runs to the arms of her husband’s brother after she thinks he’s killed in Afghanistan.

Tobey, who plays Capt. Sam Cahill, had to prepare for the role by both learning what Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is from veterans and slimming down 25 pounds to look like an emaciated prisoner of war.

Director Jim Sheridan joked to sfgate.com that Maguire didn’t have any problem “dieting” for the role because, “He is a vegan, so as far as I am concerned he doesn’t eat anyway.”

Huh?

Sheridan must believe the old myth that vegans munch on granola and drink unsweetened papaya juice all day.

Tell that to the contestants and past winners of the Veggie Hot Dog Eating Contest, who put down approximately 1500 veg hot dogs in the name of pure indulgence.

The contest, created by iLoveMikeLitt, offers prizes to individuals and teams that can eat the most vegetarian hot dogs in 12 minutes.

As one competitor, Colin Kalmbacher said, “What is more Austin than a bunch of vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores, all alongside each other, gorging themselves on hundreds of soy dogs for the sheer insanity of it?”

Although Tobey Maguire had convinced Natalie Portman to go vegan for awhile last year, from an interview with Jake Gyllenhaal in Interview magazine, Natalie gave hints that she still might do the dairy.

However, a recent interview with the La Times confirms Natalie is indeed vegan, thanks to reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s upcoming book, Eating Animals.

“There are certain things you can have different opinions on, but then other things, like torturing animals, [are] just wrong,” Natalie said and added she planned to become more outspoken on animal rights.

During the interview, Natalie was even munching on a soy cheese sandwich.

Ah, there’s no better way to show activism that by edible  example.

Natalie’s latest film, Kosher Vegetarian, premieres tomorrow October 16.

Once upon a time, a hookup took place in the back of a minivan and Hillside Quickie Inc., a vegetarian institute, was the love child of the creation.

After successfully running a food shop from the minivan, many other Hillsides were spawned, including Hillside Quickie’s Vegan Sandwich Shop, Hillside Quickie’s Cafe, and Quickie Too.

Years later, Hillside is still gettin’ it on and welcomes the birth of Plum: Hillside Quickie’s New American Bistro.

Plum offers delicious vegan dishes such as Northwest portobello and tempeh crepes, apple-pecan salad, vegan sliders, and the pizza of the day complete with vegan cheese.

It’s rumored that actor Tobey Maguire was a regular at Plum during the filming of his latest movie The Details.

Biz is a vegan and Tobey’s almost one too!
