David Letterman: Unvegan Hero

Mmm raw meat.

On Monday, Bruce Willis appeared on Letterman wearing a meat hairpiece.  It made him look like a deranged member of Devo, but was certainly a step up from any regular hairpiece.  After watching the beginning of the video, I was almost ready to make Willis an Unvegan Hero, but that soon changed.

Lady Gaga: Unvegan Hero

September 14th, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

She's so meaty.

OK come on.  This one’s really a no-brainer.  Sunday night was the MTV Video Music Awards.  I’m not entirely sure that the event is relevant anymore, but what is relevant is the dress that Lady Gaga chose to wear. Continue Reading»


Vikings: Unvegan Heroes

Steak + Mjolnir = Stjolnir

As if there is any question about the manliness of Vikings, your favorite unvegan has uncovered one more reason why the Vikings just might be the coolest society of the past.  Think of the word “steak.”  The very word makes my mouth water.  But if it weren’t for the Vikings, steak as we know it just wouldn’t exist.

Bryce Dallas Howard: Unvegan Hero

July 13th, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Vegan no more.

Bryce Dallas Howard first hit the scene in my world when she played Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 3.  Yes, I am a nerd.  No, I don’t care.  But little did I know at that time that she was the daughter of Ron Howard (awesome) and a vegan (gross).  Continue Reading»


Gabriella Cilmi: Unvegan Hero

She can sing and eat.

Who is Gabriella Cilmi?  To some, she is completely unknown.  To others, she is an Australian music star.  And to the most important, she is a meat-lover.  While on tour with Leona Lewis, Cilmi is having herself a difficult time.  It’s not because of the stress of touring, the rigors of performing or the constant pressure to keep here fans happy.  No, her difficulties are much more important than that.

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.

Water Voles: Unvegan Heroes

May 19th, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Yeah, take that meat down.

It ain’t easy being a vegetarian.  I’ve always known that, but apparently a member of the rodent family is discovering that as well.  Water voles, a rodent found in British waterways, have long been vegetarians, but a recent study shows that they have abandoned that foolhardy eating habit and come to the better side.

Li Li: Unvegan Hero

May 7th, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Meat into money.

Mmmmm meat.  There’s something about that just makes my mouth water.  It must be the taste.  But taste alone is not enough to make meat amazing, apparently meat can be a pretty good springboard for earning some serious cash.  Take Li Li from China for example. Continue Reading»


Casey Casasanta: Unvegan Hero

More like connect a cut of beef.

Although soon to be my sworn enemy (when Michigan takes on UConn in football), the state of Connecticut currently houses a new hero of mine.  This hero is Caey Casasanta, a man unknown to me until a couple days ago when I found an article about an incredible eating contest in Connecticut.

Angel Cabrera: Unvegan Hero

April 5th, 2010 Tweet Facebook Digg Stumble Reddit

Victory!

All the buzz for this year’s Masters Golf Tournament revolves around some dude named Tiger.  I don’t see the big deal about him and it’s not like he’s done anything interesting recently anyway.  Luckily for sports fans, though, there is a much better man on tour.  He is none other than Angel Cabrera, the big winner of last year’s Masters.

Going Global at Plan Check

Fries of the world.

A couple of weeks ago, The Backyard Bite invited me to The Burger Culture Clash, sponsored by Stussy (which apparently still exists) and Plan Check. Plan Check, by the way, is a sort of new (since February) restaurant in West LA with Chef Ernesto Uchimura of Umami Burger fame. As my love of burgers, especially those of the umami variety, I jumped at the opportunity.

Although I arrived alone, I was not the only lone eater. Just next to where I was seated, I met e*star LA and we decided to share a meal called loneliness, because it’s better than eating alone. We made quick friends over our respective blogs and Midwestern roots, then got to work at dissecting the special menu, which Plan Check will be featuring for the next month if anything tickles your fancy.
