FWD:Vegan BBQ on food Network

[Guest guest]

from compassionate cooks

 

There is hope for what some of us refer to as the " Meat Network " ! On December

29th at 9 p.m., they will air the segment they filmed of the Compassionate

Cooks'

Vegan July 4th BBQ. This is a first for the Food Network - never before have

they

filmed (and aired!) an all-vegan segment. Though this show ( " BBQ with Bobby

Flay " ) generally features every kind of BBQing technique with every kind of

dead animal flesh, never before have they featured a compassionate BBQ - one

that

celebrates vegetarian fare only. I have been told it looks " beautiful "

and that the editor was vegetarian and thus really enjoyed working on our

segment.

It airs again on December 29th at 1:00 a.m. and on January 8th at 4:00 p.m.

 

Though the media can sometimes mis-portray vegetarians/vegans, the producer of

this

show was very excited about our segment and has assured me we're portrayed in a

very positive light. Let's watch - and find out! I encourage everyone to write

to

the BBQ with Bobby Flay show (after it airs)

http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_sf/text/0,1976,FOOD_17616_21388,00.html,

sending them a huge THANK YOU for doing (what I assume will be a great)

vegetarian

segment. Encourage them to pass along your email to Food Network execs and to

offer

a plant-based show on the network.

 

For the animals,

Colleen

Thanks for sharing, I'll have to record that. I've got my Tivo set to

search for shows that mention " vegetarian " . An episode of Oliver's

Twist will air 12/25 at 4:30 AM ET on the Food Network where a

vegetarian feast is prepared. It may not be vegan, but is another step

in the right direction.
