"Deli Style Reuben at Butcher’s Daughter: This modish restaurant that styles itself a “vegetable slaughterhouse” is all vegetarian and also mainly vegan and gluten free. It’s also jammed with customers most of the day. But one element of its veganism is the use of meat substitutes and soy cheese, and those substitutes taste uniformly terrible, whether imitating corned beef, merguez, or a slice of American cheese. The café’s Reuben is particularly loathsome, disrespecting a sandwich that’s a New York City icon. And on white bread, too." - Robert Sietsema
