Shock jock Howard Stern has recently started taking a liking to the raw foods diet. Back in February, he visited the trendy NY restaurant Pure Food and Wine and fell in love with the food and owner. Yesterday on his radio show, he professed a return visit and again reiterated the tastiness of the cuisine. The owner, Sarma Melngailis, is in his opinion is “fucking hot.” How’s that for a compliment?

Melngailis is quickly growing as a major star in the raw foods circles — and not just because she’s an excellent cook or beautiful. What I enjoy about her personality is that she seems pretty open and laid back. My conclusions, granted, are based on her soul-baring blog posts, but they seem to paint a pretty clear picture. You can check out her website — and new book here!

Sarma actually joined Josh Dorfman today on The Lazy Environmentalist on Sirius Radio. If you missed the interview, you can pick it up again tonight at 11pm. For more good raw goodness and gossip, be sure to check out the site We Like It Raw!
