So you’ve always wanted to know all about the ins and outs of gender, sexuality, and vegan cooking. Fine – you’ve never really thought about it. But now you may just have the perfect reason!
In the debut episode of Cooking with Trannies, Chef Alexa helps out a transboy who wants to impress his vegan date with some homecooking.
Join Chef Alexa (a vegan chef-in-training) as she embarks on her mission to “teach trannies to cook flavorful vegan meals” and helps Trent (of “That’s My Jam” fame) whip up a dish of Vegan Spaghetti and Not-Balls (get it?).
Learn about everything from the art of chiffonade to why a transgender man who is dating a bio man would bother transitioning in the first place!
This week’s issue of Time Out New York is all about what makes us horny, and PETA has pretty much made it common knowledge that nothing is sexier than a vegan. So it should come as no surprise that NYC’s most ethically fabulous vegan Joshua Katcher was chosen as the top profile in “Flesh Direct”– a feature in which TONY readers posed nude and art-directed their own photos.
Katcher, who chose to modestly cover his twig-and-berries with a bunch of organic beets purchased at the Union Square farmer’s market, said:
The green movement is finally becoming sexy– and it’s because of food. Food is like sex: You interact with it physically, you put it in your body. I’d rather have an amazing meal than mediocre sex.
I can get with that, but what I can’t really get with is the photo of the naked vet examining a cat. Weird.
Vegan Vixens founder Sky Valencia, Suicide Girls founder Missy Suicide, Skinny Bitch Rory Freeman, and the everclassy vegan strip club owner Johnny Diablo were quoted as being among those who don’t have a problem with the use of sexuality to promote animal rights. Sexual Politics of Meat author Carol J. Adams, chef/Vegan Freak Bob Torres were also interviewed and clearly aren’t buying into the idea that the path to animal liberation will be paved with dropped panties.
In related news, Isa Chandra Moskowitz will soon be abandoning Brooklyn for Portland! We’ll miss her and all the vegan street creds her residency lent our fair borough.
Candle 79 patrons might recognize Michael, a snowboarding NYU student who works as a manager at the upscale restaurant. My friend Marisa, who seems to be his campaign manager, writes, “He deserves our vote if for no other reason than having served thousands of giggling girls (and guys) delectable dishes and drinks with a dashing smile. Oh yeah, and he’s been vegan since he was twelve. Now that’s HOT.”
