Artisan vegan deli with sandwiches, cheeses, and wine.
"Rebel Cheese is essentially a vegan charcuterie shop and cafe making tasty, meatless versions of BLTs, Reubens, and french dips. You probably won’t confuse any of them for their namesake originals, but they’re satisfying alternatives. Try the Frenchie, a plant-based version of the classic jambon beurre, but with the addition of housemade strawberry jam that makes it even more refreshing on a warm afternoon." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"This Shark Tank–famous dairy-less deli makes all faux meats in-house and co-owner Kirsten Maitland points to its vegan bacon as the most labor-intensive meat they sell: “It’s a very physically demanding product to make,” she says. “You have to roll it out, and … you have to keep rolling it until it’s the correct thickness.” Faux bacon made out of seitan is piled onto each sandwich more like a generous helping of deli meat than strips of bacon and, paired with a rich garlic aioli and avocado, tomato, and lettuce, the restaurant’s laborious process of cooking, slicing, and marinating results in a robust flavor as smoky as it is sweet." - Aaron Boehmer
"Whether you’re living a plant-based lifestyle or just aspiring for one, Rebel Cheese is essentially a vegan charcuterie shop and cafe. Here, you can get tasty meatless versions of BLTs, reubens, and french dips, or assemble your own board of 40+ plant-based cheeses, all made in house. Whatever you decide on, you’ll be able to enjoy it with a glass or two of wine, because they also operate as a small bottle shop." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
"The vegan cheese shop put together a holiday cheese package with two iterations: the deluxe ($170) offering a variety of vegan cheeses, vegan meats, condiments, and more; and the just-cheese box ($115). Deadline: Sunday, December 8, 11:59 p.m. Shipping dates: in time for Christmas Eve (Tuesday, December 24), Hanukkah, and New Year’s Eve (Tuesday, December 31); there’s no guarantee that orders placed between Monday, December 9 through Sunday, December 15 will be shipped in time for the holidays, but the business will try. How to book: order online." - Nadia Chaudhury
