Upset and Confused
So we got out Newest issue of Time Out NY today, and I got pretty excited because the cover said "All Vegetarian Eat out Section!"
So I thought SWEET, where there is vegetarian there HAS to be Vegan. So I started reading along and then there was an interview with the owner of an up and coming Veggie friendly reastuarant, so I thought cool, let me see this. So I start reading the interview first of all its a "flexitarian" reastuarant, but I'm reading along and I'm thinking this dude doesn't sound so bad he is for the vegetarians, then i read his answer to question 3 and thought what???
I don't know, i mean this isn't a serious issue or anything but people like that really >:(peeve me. How can you say you are all for the vegetarians and then say that their food lacks in taste and then mock it by calling it "adolescent and sentimental"????
>:(ergggggggggggg here is the article:

We have a saying around here..."He's talking out of both sides of his mouth." He may not be "upset," but he certainly sounds "confused." :P
Way to insult potential clientele before they even give your food a shot.... :(
Yeah, I don't like that. I have his "Modern Vegetarian Kitchen" or whatever cookbook, and it has a really good vegan cornbread recipe. And I can even understand wanting to appeal to a broad range of customers. But he totally insulted vegetarian ideals and meals, so he can piss off.
If I ever see another cookbook from him, I may borrow it from the library, but I wouldn't buy it.
Fish are totally happy to die for you? WTF? That is the biggest bunch of sh*t I've ever heard. >:(
Yeah, I think that it is a little funny to accuse vegetarians of anthropomorphizing and in the next breath say that a fish is "perfect happy" to die.
OMG YES! grrrrrr.
Was a different guy answering the last question? Because 1 and 2 are totally different than the 3rd answer.
Bizarre!!!
;D A fish is perfectly happy to die for you, because it’s fulfilled its fishdom.
Um... yeah...

ohhh! you beat me to it! :P

What an ass....
What an IDIOT!
Because of what Bookmama said:

That is the dumbest thing I've read in a while... :-\ I hope he reads that interview & is totally ashamed of himself!
But on a positive note, I am glad that we've finally found someone who can communicate so well with animals! I mean, fish are very lucky to have someone who is so in tune with them to be their spokesperson. Without this douche, I never would have known that all fish want to do is to "fulfill their fishdom"... By being eaten. So, that's cool. ::)

That's UNBELIEVABLE! Fish were not put here to feed OUR fat asses! They have their own purpose. Ugh. Screw that guy.
No they don't have feelings. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :o :o :o :o :o They don't eat, drink, give birth and die like us? :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :D :D :D :D :D :D :D He's a little delusional.
People suck!

LOL
I'm so curious...does anyone live in the town he is starting his restaurant in? I want to know if he gets anyone to eat there!!
I just can't imagine any vegetarians I know wanting to eat somewhere where they have such an offensive attitude!
JessaCita, I really liked your comments. I agree, it is high time we found a proper fish spokesperson, especially one so non-anthropocentric. I'm sure those fish are pleased, and intellectually stimulated by his comments.
I noticed (non-veg) guys always tend to qualify any support of vegetarianism, from "i totally support vegetarianism. but, i like beef. and pork." to "that's awesome that you're vegan, but cows want me to eat them" where women don't as much... this guy evidently supports vegetarianism to some extent (unless he thinks it's just a way to cash in >:( ), but needed to show his customers that he's still a meat-and-potatoes guy. Because, meat consumption is directly proportional to the size of male genitalia ;D .
what's strange is the spin on his restaurant's menu... flexitarian? I get that flexitarians are vegetarians who do not-so-vegetarian things now and then (right?). How can you have a flexitarian restaurant? There are a number of restaurants in L.A. that have both meat dishes and a hefty amount of vegetarian dishes, and labelled such... this doesn't sound any different. PR, I guess. :P
but needed to show his customers that he's still a meat-and-potatoes guy. Because, meat consumption is directly proportional to the size of male genitalia ;D .
it is? lol, and here was I thinking it was a shiney, red sports car! :o
hahahaha! what a lousy hypocrite! He had me fooled through the first two questions, and then he completely contradicts what he said. I guess that's why he's got the title of 'provocateur'.
Just a dick in my book.
Did anyone already comment below that article??? If not I'd be happy to oblige and give my two cents worth....
Hmmm....I did leave a comment on the TimeOut site below that article, but it disappeared??? How can you view them I wonder...
