Ellen DeGeneres got an invitation to visit Toronto recently from an unusual place: Toronto’s vegan community. The invite came from Toronto’s YouTube buddies Vegan Meal Times in advance of an Aug 10 event at Yonge-Dundas Square, where organizers plan to give out 5,000 vegan hotdogs.

The duo wants people to write to Ellen on her website to ask her to attend. Watch the invitation video below.
