Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful: Sandra Bernhard Likes Her Candy Dirty
“just had the most unbelievable meal at dirt candy in the east village vegetables done in ways you can’t imagine, as fresh as earth provides”
—-Sandra Bernhard in a Tweet about her experience eating at Dirt Candy restaurant in NYC.
Sandra agrees with Starchefs.com, as Amanda Cohen, Dirt Candy’s owner and chef, has been named the first vegetarian chef in New York City to receive the Rising Star award, an prestigious acknowledgement among chefs and other foodies.
Cohen’s restaurant patrons can get down and dirty with menu selections like Jalapeno Hush Puppies and Portobello Mousse.

Alex Cox‘s (1984 Repo Man) new movie, Repo Chick, premiered at the Venice Film Festival last week.
Repo Chick features vegan, environmental terrorists with two goals in mind:
1. Ban golfing
2. Make the entire government go vegan
If this description doesn’t already have you in stitches, here’s an excerpt from Variety.com:
“After being disinherited, a spoiled heiress goes into the repossession biz and stumbles onto anti-golf vegan terrorists in helmer Alex Cox’s goofy comedy “Repo Chick.”…The plot kicks off with bratty, Paris Hiltonian heiress Pixxi de la Chasse (Jaclyn Jonet) being disinherited by her family (played by Xander Berkeley, Frances Bay and Karen Black) after one too many joyrides without a driver’s license and public dalliances with boy-band backup dancers. Her only way back into the family’s good graces is to prove she can knuckle down and fend for herself with a real job.”
The real job of the Paris Hiltonian, of course, is to take down the vegan, anti-golf terrorists who’ve stolen an antique train and are using it to transport missiles.
We hate the fact that the bad guys in pursuit just happen to be vegans.
Would’ve been better if Pixxie herself was a vegan crime fighter taking down the terrorists.
Another negative stereoptype of the vegan environmentalist…
Hopefully, we’ll at least get some humor out of it.

Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful: Leona Lewis Helps Animals Through Her Music
“I definitely have moments when I come home and shut the door and think that all I want to do is sing. But then I think, wait a minute — how are people going to hear my music? The bottom line is that if I can inspire, create awareness and help someone or an animal in any way, then it’s all been worth it”
—-Leona Lewis, in an interview with The Big Issue magazine.
Leona’s definitely doing her job, as she never fails to bring up her vegetarian diet and lifestyle in interviews and public appearances.
Leona’s sophomore album, Echo, is set to debut November 17.

Pamela Anderson will debut her animal and eco friendly clothing line, A*Muse, during New Zealand Fashion Week, September 22-25.
The designs she collaborated with Richie Rich were originally set to debut at New York’s Fashion Week from September 10-17, but Pamela set her sights on New Zealand for its green reputation.
Rich, who designed the Heatherette label, explained in more detail.
“Pamela is such an advocate for Peta [People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals],” Rich said. “I love animals. We wanted to produce a range using as many globally friendly fabrics as we could, in the spirit of being good to the world. That is part of the reason we want to kick it off in New Zealand, which is so lush and green. It goes with the vibe we are feeling. At the same time the Kiwi scene is fun and the line is fun.”
Rich originally admitted it was hard for him not to use fur in the collection.
Hopefully, with the guidance of Pamela, Rich now sees how easy it is to be chic and caring.

Comments Off on Jason Mraz Agrees With YELP: Cafe Flourish Great Vegan Restaurant
Jason Mraz took a moment to Tweet in agreement with the readers of YELP, a website with restaurant reviews.
“stoked that www.cafeflourish.com won #1 vegan restaurant LA on YELP. It’s so good. I would have voted for them too.”
Someone at Cafe Flourish is all about the love, cause the menu is nothing but hookin’ up.
Love Bites, Love Salads, Sandwiches that Love You, Big Love Bites and Be-Love Corn Crusted Pizzas make up the main menu sections.
Our favorite is the “Snuggle Fest”-Soy hot dogs wrapped in a single “blanket” with ketchup, Dijon, “mayo” & sweet pickle relish with a side Caesar salad.
Better lovin’ requires you get in touch with your spiritual side.
The “Amen for Almond Hummus” is hummus topped with a chunky olive tapenade with sun-dried tomato flax crackers for scooping.

Grab your reusable shopping bags and take the Metro headed towards 1600 N. Pennsylvania Ave. to visit the Farmer’s Market at the White House.
A permit was approved this week for the nonprofit Fresh Farm Markets to close Vermont Avenue Northwest between H and I Streets in order to clear the way for a Farmer’s Market near the President’s home.
The market opens next week on September 17 and will run until October 29.
It’s not certain whether the Obamas will make an appearance at the markets, but Sam Kass, an assistant chef at the White House has showed up at a community meeting recently to show support.
Last August, Barack Obama said he wanted to get a farmer’s market near the White House.
One initiative passed, many more to go.
