Aunts Et Uncle

Review Highlights

Aunts Et Uncle is a vegan restaurant on Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn, reached out to Keith Lee with a bold claim: try the chicken sandwich and you'll be ready to go home. Keith visited with his family during his Brooklyn trip, spending $68.59 on four items — approaching every dish as a self-described non-fan of vegan food who was willing to be convinced.

• ·Vegan chicken sandwich — mushroom-based, spicy, saucy, and moist throughout; initially fooled Keith on the first bite; "as a vegan chicken sandwich, this is delicious — it's spicy, it's saucy, it's not dry at all. It fooled me"; 8.7/10
• ·Vegan burger (A You Burger) — served on a pretzel bun; spicy and flavorful, with the vegan taste fading the more he chewed; "the more I chew it, the less vegan it tastes"; rated against vegan standards: 8/10
• ·French toast — rich and sweet upfront, with a buttery, salty finish; "it's like Bourbon — sweet Bourbon. I'm getting the butteriness and the saltiness at the end"; 7.5/10
• ·French fries — slightly soggy from sitting, but well seasoned; "I can see these being fresh, being really good"; 7.5/10 as served, estimated high 8 fresh

Keith's verdict: a genuine surprise from a genre he doesn't gravitate toward. The chicken sandwich was the standout — his highest-rated item and the one that came closest to convincing him. The burger outperformed the only other vegan burger he'd rated positively. "For this to be vegan food, I am highly impressed." He closed by saying the restaurant made his right: Brooklyn delivered.
