Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi Opening Vegan Restaurant

Animal lovers and vegans Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi are putting their money where their mouths (and tummies) are and investing in an all animal-free vegan restaurant with rocker Chrissie Hynde and producer Steve Bing.
The restaurant will be located in the San Fernando Valley area and specifically on Ventura Boulevard. The chef that catered their wedding Tal Ronnen will be responsible for the restaurant's menu.
No word on when this restaurant is set to open. It would be fabulous if they parlayed this venture into a chain of restaurants around the world.
For those of you who are vegan or are interested in going vegan, Ellen is seriously committed to this and has started a website Going Vegan With Ellen that shares recipes and helpful tips. She has a section of famous vegans and a lot of them have said they lost 20 pounds when they stopped eating meat. That's pretty motivating isn't it?
Have you gone vegan? Was it a difficult transition?
