Champs Diner

We'd read a lot about this place, and drooled over their menu - it didn't disappoint. A vegan retro style diner in Williamsburg. Our vegan guide book described this more as a bakery, but I think it has underwent some changes since then and while they do have desserts/baked goods, it is much more savoury focused.

Everything on the menu looked good (we are definitely planning to go back for a 2nd/3rd visit). I finally settled on the 'Southwest Chik'n salad' - mixed greens, balck beans, sweet corn, grilled chik'n, tomatoes, avocado, creamy chipotle dressing.

 Ange went for the more traditional diner fare  - a burger - blackbean/chickpea burger with grilled onions, chilli (HOT! - but described as not - and u know Ange likes chilli), pickles, melted cheese (the Teeze brand - much better than the Daiya brand that seems to dominate her in NYC).

Both were yummy and extremely filling which meant no room for dessert. We are thinking of making a run their just for desserts - I have my eye on one of the sundaes.
