AFI Life Achievement Awards honoring Michael Douglas

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.

Here are some of her veggie and environmental highlights:

On animal rights: “I think anything with a heartbeat should be respected and I don’t think they should be made into clothing.”

Environmental stance: “I think being vegetarian is the way to go. It’s better than driving a hybrid car. One of the leading causes of global warming is factory farming.”

On her fashion range A*Muse, designed by Richie Rich, on the catwalk today: “It’s all about having fun, saving the world, doing good things and being pink and glittery, and also a bit political.”

These days Canadian rock star Bryan Adams is a vegan who juices regularly and is into raw foods.

But years ago, when he lived in Vancouver, he would frequent a pizza place called Lombardo’s Pizzeria & Ristorante, where he would order what he called “the best pizza in the world.”

“Bryan Adams lives in London now, but he used to come all the time,” Patti Lombardo says. “He used to come Tuesday or Wednesday evening at about 10 p.m., when there were no crowds to bother him. He’s a vegetarian, so he would get a mushroom pizza. He’d sit there and go, ‘You know what? This is the best pizza in the world.’ ”

Lombardo’s is known for its wood-oven-fired pizza and features several pizzas, calzones, and pasta dishes that are vegetarian on the menu.
