Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi: Vegan Restauranteurs
Looking to broaden their collective portfolio, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are embarking into the world of restaurant ownership.
According to a report, the talk show queen and the “Arrested Development” babe are investors in a new vegan eatery set to open in the San Fernando Valley.
As an added bonus, Ellen and Portia’s wedding day caterer Tal Ronnen has signed on to design the menu, which will be comprised of all non-animal ingredients.
Ellen has been a passionate vegan for years, telling Katie Couric in 2008, "I forced myself to watch a documentary called Earthlings that's inside footage of factory farms and dairy farms. You see that and go 'I can't participate in that. I can't be a part of something that is suffering.' Fifty billion animals a year are killed and I think we all fool ourselves that it's a quick death, and it's a very disturbing reality."
