Meet Brian Patton
After graduating college, Patton started watching cooking shows and decided to veer from his public relations education to get schooled on food. One of his first jobs was working for Veggin’ Out, a vegan home delivery service in Los Angeles. He was eventually promoted to executive chef and is working there today. Don’t think this ordinary dude ventured into vegan cooking because he was a hardcore vegan. In fact, he was the only meat eater. So, he decided to try veganism for one month.
“After this animal product free month, I had more energy and I about 8 pounds, so I thought I’d give it another month, and then another month,” Patton says. “My energy continued to skyrocket. I was becoming healthy on the inside, which was beginning to show on the outside: my complexion improved, the whites of my eyes got whiter, and after 10 months, I’d lost 60 pounds.”
Regular dudes like regular food
Though Patton was reveling in his health improvement, he still craved sandwiches, sliders, onions rings, pizza, and the occasional cocktail. To satisfy his ordinary food cravings, he crafted his own vegan versions of his favorite pre-veg foods. In 2006, he began sharing them on YouTube, calling himself the Sexy Vegan, where his fun and lively style quickly gained a large and loyal fan base. Inspired by his video sensationalism, he wrote The Sexy Vegan Cookbook.
