Paula Deen: Unvegan Hero

Just a disclaimer before the real entry.  Apparently our country is experiencing a sort of bacon obsession.  Almost every time I try to profile a prolific Unvegan Hero, they seem to have some sort of bacon fixation.  This is in no way a bad thing, but I would like to shed light on more of a variety of meats.  I just wanted to apologize in advance for so many baconated posts and will do my best to find more of a variety of Unvegan Heroes in the future.  On to the entry.

I’ve never been much of a Food Network watcher because I’d usually rather be eating food than watching someone make food and eat it in front of me without offering any of it to.  If you think about it, it’s pretty rude.  That may change soon, though.

I recently stumbled across Paula Deen, one of the Food Network personalities.  I’m not sure what she typically makes, but in the clip above she makes deep-fried, bacon-wrapped mac and cheese.  It’s amazing watching her go through all the steps, just knowing that the end product has to be amazing.  From the looks of it, it’s a powerful combination of flavors that would make any unvegan proud.

For finding a way to enhance macaroni and cheese with meat, Paula Deen, you are a true Unvegan Hero.

UNVEGAN FANS: HELP STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT DELICIOUS FOOD!

Future Foodies!

HYPE is a non-profit organization that works directly with low-income middle schoolers and their teachers to provide students with the guidance and resources needed to qualify for admission and succeed at top private schools in the Los Angeles area. We provide our students with engaging and unfamiliar experiences to broaden their horizons. A large part of building this cultural capital is by having our students try a wide variety of new foods. This pushes our students outside of their comfort zones and encourages them to take risks in a fun (and tasty!) way. Last summer, our students tried Ethiopian food, sushi, Korean BBQ, deli, and schwarma, just to provide some examples.

We want your help, Unvegan fans, to increase our students’ knowledge about the world around them by enhancing their culinary experiences. We greatly appreciate your support to provide a meal to our group of 15. With your donation, you will be opening delicious doors for an amazing group of students!
