It premieres on Bravo, next wednesday [August 5th] @ 10pm & 11pm.

Here's Bravo's blurb:

DIETARY RESTRICTIONS
It’s a battle of the burgers as the five remaining chefs strive to create an American classic. In the elimination challenge, the Masters must prepare the perfect meal for an exclusive celebrity lunch thrown by actress and singer-song-writer Zooey Deschanel. Morgan Spurlock also guest stars, and one chef is eliminated, while the remaining four move to the next round of competition.

Wow, thanks for sharing. I'll have to remember somehow to watch this.

Sweet. will hopefully be able to catch the clip online...

I found a video of Zooey's appearance.

Part 1 - it starts just after the burger battle (what a contrasting episode!)

Thanks pal

you are welcome!

Vegan, eh? That's cool. Zooey's not a vegan, but she IS gluten intolerant, which I thought would be the restriction.

it was, or at least I think it was, I saw t he episode when it aired but I can't really remember it all, But I thought that was on her list cause I remember someone commenting on it. I thought Zooey ate meat? Last I heard she was a fan of chicken salad...

Right, she DOES eat meat. She isn't a vegan OR a vegetarian. Maybe her sister has managed to get her to eat vegan some of the time, who knows.

she said people normally hated cooking for her, only her mom would! cause she's 'difficult' to cook for. it sounded like she kinda ate veggie at least most of the time anyway...i don't know why else she would request a vegan meal otherwise. i laughed at the part when her mom was saying the food felt like home and zooey was like i just said that and her mom was like yeah, we are from the same home!

I still haven't watched it yet, but I will 'cuz it sounds entertaining!

If my sister tried to talk me into going Vegan, I'd smack her... but then again I just got home from eating 5 baskets of wings endless wing night, sooooooo yeah.

That was interesting. I would have enjoyed seeing Emily show up, since she's the real vegan in the family. Maybe they went vegan because they were going to have her show and then something came up!

Thats possible... But then wouldn't she have said, for my sister- who's vegan?

Yeah, but I'm thinking more drawn out. Like they planned to do it way ahead of time, then things changed and so they just went through with it with Zooey being the vegan. That's kind of what I meant.

Thats possible too. I don't know what else would have gotten in the way except work, But I would think Hart would allow her some time (an afternoon) to have lunch with her sister. I mean all she would need is the time to eat the food.

I do have to say, some of that food looked completely unedible. Like I would never eat some of that stuff. But then again, half the stuff they make on food network I would never eat.

I thought it all looked good. I got the impression it was all for Zooey and she is a vegetarian/vegan.

Slightly OT, wasn't Emily supposed to be on some sort of vegan cooking show too???

I thought it looked pretty good myself, except the eggplant. I've never seen this show before, but the fella that did the pasta, I've seen his show on Food Network, Saturday mornings I believe. I don't recall his name, but he always puts together food that really looks good.

... and I hadn't heard about Emily on any vegan cooking show.

It wasn't a cooking show, It was this show/documentary thing where a bunch of people gathered for a vegan dinner to talk about being vegan and their favorite animal rights organization, I can't remember who I saw that had posted about it, but I'm going to find out who it was, and ask if they know if and when the show will be on, and I'll let you guys know.

oh ok, thanks Ella, that sounds more familiar now.

yeah, I still can't figure out who it was that mentioned it... I'm still looking!
