Michael Bloomberg: Unvegan Hero

Veggies make him unhappy.

Michael Bloomberg, or should I say, Mayor Bloomberg of New York hasn’t exactly been much of a meat man in the past.  As one of the richest men in the world, he decided to dedicate the rest of his life to public service in 2001.  In truth, I know little to nothing of his politics, but I do know the man loves his steak.

Just recently he was interviewed and a reporter asked him what his favorite vegetable was.  He replied, “Steak.”  Simply amazing.  Mayor Bloombergis a man who understands that there is no place in the food pyramid for vegetables.  Some people are in uproar because he once claimed iceberg lettuce to be his favorite vegetable.  Lucky for unvegans everywhere, he has seen the light and now knows the grave importance of steak.

Maybe he can make a law that classifies steak as a vegetable.  Is that too much to ask?  No, it isn’t.

So for loving steak and ignoring the existence of vegetables, Michael Bloomberg, you are a true Unvegan Hero!

Unvegan Top 20 for 2011

‘Tis the season for “Best of the Year” lists, so I thought I would join the party and put in my top 20 new restaurants from 2011.  By the way, this means the restaurants were new to me, not new to LA.  Please note that I am only including meals in the Los Angeles area.  As much as I loved the food on my travels, you can check any of those places out pretty quickly by clicking here.  So, without further caveat, here’s the best that 2011 had to offer for the unvegan:

20.  Cobras and Matadors

This tapas place in Mid-City is everything tapas should be.  From bacon-wrapped dates to a variety of cheeses, there is really something for anyone looking for a delicious meal.  Just beware, while tapas can be kept to a moderate price, when you throw a big group in with small plates, there are bound to be some people who don’t get their money’s worth.  But keep the group small and Cobras and Matadors will send you home full and happy.

19.  Steingarten

Dishing out delicious sausages, including a few of the exotic variety, Steingarten also offers up a pretty stellar beer selection.  If you’ve ever wanted to eat alligator in sausage form, Steingarten won’t disappoint, but they also serve a wider range of foods, including some pretty delicious burgers.  Their sausage execution, though, could use a bit of improvement, which pushed another sausage joint further up on the list.
