Forrest Whitaker, tofu and me.
Here’s a delicious bowl of hot tofu soup at Vegan Express. The broth is fantastic… full of flavor, crunchy veggies and heavy on the garlic. Don’t let the simplicity of it’s appearance fool you, this is good stuff I tell you.
I wasn’t planning on posting anything here today, but I’m using this soup entry as an excuse to brag about the fact that while I was eating it, none other than Forrest Whitaker walked in to the place to have his own meal. Hell yeah, ‘Ghost Dog’ in the flesh! I recall reading about how he was among the ranks of well-known celebrity vegetarians, so here’s proof that it’s totally true. Well, I don’t actually have any proof because I only photographed my soup and not him (where, oh where are my priorities?), so you’ll just have to take my word for it.

I’ve seen him walking around at the Hollywood Farmer’s Market, so at least we can surmise he has good taste in veggies! ;)

Mmm, that soup looks good; and how fun that you saw Forrest Whitaker “in the flesh”!! He’s been in quite a few PETA video ads, so I’d say he’s at least a veg-advocate :0) Here’s a feature on him, from GoVeg.com: http://www.goveg.com/f-forestwhitaker.asp

That soup literally just made my mouth water! Wow. Yum!! And that’s awesome about Forrest Whitaker! I always love when cool celebs are made even cooler by being veg. Yay!
Your blog is great! I just happened upon it, and I’ll for sure be back to check up on you. :)

EL CHAVO!: You know, each week I go to the Hollywood Farmers Market I see more and more celebs…
VeggieGirl: Thanks! I actually linked to that same article in my post. He’s always been an actor I admire so it was really cool to see him “in the flesh”.
Jessica: Thanks for stopping on by!

great site! just looking at it for the first time. I, too, have seen forrest at vegan glory - just a couple weeks ago! I also see andy dick there a lot too, but that’s a little less exciting.

artichokey: Thanks for dropping in! Agreed, seeing Andy Dick would be a lot less exciting. I’d even go so far as to say, a major letdown. It’s like a waste of a perfectly good celebrity spotting.
