Mike Behrend
Mike is a professional chef with more than 15 years experience in the
restaurant business. With his mother Luann Singleton they owned and
operated Lulu’s Bakery and Café for the past 15 years. In
January of 2006, they sold Lulu’s allowing them to begin
construction on green, San Antonio’s first
vegetarian restaurant.
Mike became a vegetarian in the Summer of 2005. Two years before that,
he was over 300 lbs and completely sedentary. By attending Weight
Watchers meetings, running, swimming, cycling, and converting to a
vegetarian diet, he lost over 90lbs. In the past two years, he has
completed four triathlons, three marathons, two century bike rides and
many 5k and 10k road races. He believes that his vegetarian diet has
been key to his weight loss success.
Mike is very excited about opening San Antonio’s first vegetarian
restaurant. He said, "A great city like San Antonio deserves a great
vegetarian restaurant. Vegetarianism has been such a positive force in
my life, and I am anxious to show people just how good vegetarian
cuisine can be. "
