V.I.L.F

Vegans I’d Like to…

Well, you get it.

It is so great how many cool vegans are out there with blogs, websites, books, ‘zines, vlogs, twitter, facebook, pamphlets, chalkboards, markers and paper, or whatever other forms of communication they want to use. I am just happy there are so many of us out there being awesome. I am vegan proud!

Some of these awesome vegans happen to be pretty darn sexy too. I know I am one of them, but there are so many others! *wink wink*

This gave me an idea in my big chubby brain. Let me use my humble platform to share some of these super sexy vegans with all of my loving CV readers. Presenting my first V.I.L.F:

The Vegan Zombie

Holy swoon! This guy makes these really fun videos cooking amazing looking vegan “bar” food. Vegan mozzarella sticks, pizza rolls, Philly seitan steaks, and the list just gets even more delicious.

So let’s break it down… A guy that is a little bit punk rock, tatted up, vegan, a big dog lover, makes amazing vegan food, and is a certified vegan McSteamy… where do I sign up?

So check him out! His videos are great, funny and his recipes are all pretty basic and fun. Love, love, love it!

Check out a couple more of his videos after the jump…

New York: Day 2

Token NY Picture

As promised, day two of New York veg-stravaganza is even better than day 1!

Picture It…

New York…

A week ago...

A loving Chubby Vegan eats at an incredible vegan restaurant in the Upper West Side. He is floored by the incredible food that abounds. His co-worker say’s, “hey, that woman behind you looks familiar.”

He passes a super nonchalant glance and nearly faints.

It was GD Kyra Sedgewick; eating in the same restaurant as me! Holy smokes!

I am not a creepy celebrity stalker and I think it is rude to go up to someone in public just because they are famous… But as we left I carefully snapped this pic as evidence.

It’s not perfect but take my word for it, she was beautiful! Plus, her selection of lunch at a vegan restaurant makes her cool factor go up about 50,000 in my book.

Even if I didn’t get to see Kyra, (we are on a first name basis now) I would have been just as happy because I got to eat at Café Blossom. 

Day Two Vegan Stop: Café Blossom

Café Blossom was a recommendation from my new best friend at Red Bamboo. Like I thought, she didn’t let me down. Not only did I get to see Kyra, but I also got to try my first raw appetizer.

Kelly and I split the Autumn Spring Rolls which were sweet potato rolls with coconut noodles, jicama, carrot, red and yellow pepper, scallion, avocado, and an almond ginger dipping sauce. I have been a little leery about raw food but I have wanted to try a professionally made raw dish for a while. I am so happy I did!

I loved these. I thought the sweet potato would have been really grainy, but it was not at all. The flavors blended together really well, like a fresh roll at a Thai restaurant. Plus the dipping sauce was just amazing; I could have drank it like a shot.

I thought about it. ß Chubby

Kelly didn’t hate it but I don’t think she would be the first to board the raw only bus. I am looking forward to trying a raw dish again.

Follow me after the jump for the rest of my Café Blossom deliciousness!
