Vegan Restaurant Rebel Cheese Wins Austin’s Best New Restaurant
Rebel Cheese, an artisan vegan cheese and sandwich shop in Austin, has been open less than a year, but it’s already making headlines. Their charcuterie boards, lox bagels, and sandwiches piled high with house-made meats have propelled this cafe to the front of Austin’s decorated food scene.
While they’ve already won plenty of “best restaurant” and “best new restaurant” vegan categories for various other awards, they were recently voted “Best New Restaurant” in the CultureMap Tastemaker Awards. Rebel Cheese was up against taco trucks, BBQ joints, pizza cafes, craft ice cream spots, and more. They were the only plant-based restaurant in the running, which makes this a huge win for the vegan movement! Head on over to @rebel.cheese on Instagram to congratulate the cafe and see what else they’re working on.
Cayla has been writing for VegOut since 2020 and has been plugged into the LA vegan food scene since Veggie Grill was pretty much the only vegan restaurant in the city. Aside from writing articles, Cayla enjoys embracing their inner 85-year-old by listening to classical music, making playlists for their friends, and staying active through swimming, hiking, cycling, and yoga. In their free time, Cayla likes writing poetry, learning about outdoor survival and alternative lifestyles, and is always searching for the best loaf of sourdough bread.
Tikkā is a northern Indian dish involving marinated protein or vegetables cooked in a tandoor, or clay oven. My version is made with marinated tofu baked on skewers in a conventional oven to mimic the traditional cooking vessel, which adds a char and smokiness to the dish. Using smoked paprika further pays tribute to the traditional cooking technique. This tikkā is best served hot with cooling mint chutneys and is delicious in lettuce wraps as well. For lettuce wraps, dice the tofu and vegetables into smaller pieces after cooking and fill the lettuce leaves just before serving.
