Amanda Cohen, the executive chef and owner of Dirt Candy, is opening a new restaurant dedicated to the plant-based burger. Here is what you have to look forward to.
, she decided to open a casual plant-based restaurant that focused on the ultimate comfort food: burgers. She set out to find the best chef for the job, interviewing several candidates before finding Amanda Cohen, the executive chef and owner of Dirt Candy, an award-winning vegetarian restaurant that has been in New York City since 2008.
The two set about creating Lekka , an all-vegan restaurant that opens November 19th in Tribeca. The restaurant’s signature dish is a vegan burger, served five different ways. Cohen insists her burger is better, and she might be right. In a recent tasting, Lekka’s burger was tender yet firm, juicy, and, perhaps most importantly, it had the taste of real flame-grilled goodness. This comes from actually grilling the patties, something a lot of plant-based burgers can’t stand up to. “Because we can grill it, we don’t have to rely on a lot of other flavors,” Cohen points out.
“When it came out of the pot, I was like A, this is delicious. B, this is 900 years old, and C, I'm using this one day,” recalls Cohen.
