Last week’s Top Chef was not only fun because it was Restaurant Wars but also because they had super sustainable seafood chef Rick Moonen on the program.  Now this week I am even more excited because the guest judge is Natalie Portman who is not only an awesome actress (and was in our voting video series) but  a supporter of veganism!

One thing that has always made Top Chef a little less fun for me (I still love it though) is that I’m a vegetarian (sometimes vegan) and I usually can’t eat what they are cooking.  Natalie Portman as a guest judge almost guarantees that I am going to get to watch an episode where I can eat everything on the menu!  It also means that the world at large will (hopefully) get to see how awesome and tasty vegetables, oils, grains and fruit can be all on their own.

Tune in Wednesday night and definitely watch the little promo below to whet your vegetarian appetite (I love how they build up the chefs wanting to use meat).
