Vegetarians Invade 'Top Chef'
Vegetarians will be smiling tomorrow night on "Top Chef Masters." That's because the episode's (called "Dietary Restrictions") main challenge will be hosted by Zooey Deschanel. In a tease for the episode, Deschanel states that she doesn't eat meat, fish, eggs or dairy and can't eat gluten or soy either. Score!
And one of the guest judges on the upcoming "Top Chef Las Vegas" is Natalie Portman, another vegetarian.
These mark another step forward for vegetarians and others with dietary restrictions. I have long argued that these two significant communities do not get enough attention on mainstream food TV shows and any episode focusing on these diets are deemed "specials." That should not be the case.
With more and more reasons to watch what you eat, more folks out there should take notice of these trends and start serving them -- instead of trying to fit in something into a larger, meat-focused menu.
