"Have you ever wished everything at Denny’s was vegan? If so, you should check out Champs, a restaurant in East Williamsburg that serves comfort food made with 100% plant-based ingredients. Even if you’re not vegan, you’ll be happy with dishes like the humongous Philly cheesesteak made with thick slices of seitan and the breakfast slam, which comes with tofu scramble alongside fluffy and moist pancakes. The space with checkered floors and glittery vinyl booths looks like a diner from the 1950s, but you’ll hear music featured on Pitchfork rather than something from Buddy Holly. photo credit: Madeleine Hall" - Kenny Yang
"Maybe being alone in your apartment with a seitan philly cheesesteak is your idea of the perfect Friday night in. We support you. Make it happen by ordering takeout from Champs Diner, the go-to spot for vegan junk food in Brooklyn. You can call the restaurant from 10am-10pm, or get delivery." - Nikko Duren
