Kate’s Brooklyn Joint (CLOSED)

Description
Whoever said vegetarian food has to be healthy never visited Kate’s Joint. Buffalo UnChicken wings—batter-fried tofu slathered in a spicy sauce—go as well with a cold beer (they’re still waiting for their liquor license) as anything from KFC. And the McKate—a greasy, politically correct version of the Big Mac—piles together thin soy patties, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions and special sauce on a whole-wheat bun. While no amount of meat-free options can make up for the couldn’t-be-bothered decor—industrial black chairs, dull terra-cotta tiles, canary-yellow walls—their version of the dirty-water dog, a smoky soy frankfurter in a focaccia roll with juicy sauerkraut, made us particularly happy that Kate has moved to Brooklyn.
