"When someone who has worked at McDonald’s decides to make a vegan Nigerian answer to the Big Mac, you pay attention. That’s what happened at Akara House, a counter-service spot in Crown Heights that puts akara on a squishy bun with vegan cheese, mayo, and pickles. The thick bean fritter is not like all those other dry, crumby, easy-to-choke-on veggie burgers—instead, it’s got an ultra-soft center and a crispy, crackly exterior that doesn’t get soggy, no matter how far you bring your sandwich to eat it. (We’d recommend Brower Park.)" - neha talreja, bryan kim, kenny yang, willa moore
