My FAVORITE Vegan Celebrities!

LA Weekly just came out with a list of their favorite top 10 vegan celebrities. This got me thinking, "I love celebrities! Why should LA Weekly have all the fun?" So, speaking on behalf of all the Vegansaurs, I made a top 15 list, in which I actually posted about 17 celebrities! That's how I do me.

Some people love it, some people hate it (And have not hurt my feelings on tumblr. I am better than this. WHY DO THEY TAKE THE FUN OUT OF EVERYTHING. I'm letting it go.) but I'm stoked with it! Man, it took me a week to do. Halfway through, I thought about scrapping the whole thing because it was quite tedious. Now that it's finished, I'm so proud! And when the haters are hating, I say "Calm down, it's just a celebrity list", but really I'm thinking "F@#K you".

Let's be real. The inspiration from this list also came from the fact I spent weeks earnestly contemplating how I could combine my two loves: vegan blogging and No Doubt.

See the list HERE!

Vegan Bloggers become IRL Friends, SO EXCITING

Melissa of Food and Loathing came into Source! Later we met up at Bender's and I ended up doing karaoke for the first time. It was all pretty epic.

Herbivore Gets a Bad Rap, and Maybe It's for a Reason

Herbivore: People either love it, or they love to hate on it, but still eat there. I don't know where I stand. It took me a long time to go out to eat there, because why would I spend my hard-earned dollars on a vegan restaurant so many people feel "meh" about?

However, the day finally arrived and I ate dinner at Herbivore. I liked it! I got the Chicken Shwarma wrap, because that is what everyone told me was the finest item on the menu. Delicious!

Looking good, Shwarma Wrap! Real good!

Dang Chicken Shwarma Wrap, I think I love you!

AND THEN THERE WAS DESSERT! I'm not a huge dessert fan, but I am a THE biggest blueberry pie fan in the world. Except for maybe my dad -- it runs in the family! So of course I ordered it. Hey, blueberry pie can be hard to find, especially a vegan version.
Perfection!
I left Herbivore pretty stoked. BUT THEN, I went back a couple months later. The wrap was lacking and the customer service was horrendous. We actually started taking dollars out of the tip pile as we waited for our waitress to come back to our table. I know that's awful - I work in the restaurant industry! Seriously, though, the service was that bad.

I'd go back to Herbivore, but I wouldn't be the one to suggest it. I'm glad it's there, and I'm grateful it's completely vegan, but I do not like to be disappointed when shelling out to eat out. So go at your own risk!

They do have fresh vegetable juices that I'm interested in trying! Oh yes, and I went to the same Herbivore both times -- the one on Divisadero.
