\n Vodega in DUMBO tries to replicate \u201cclassic\u201d Big App<\/a>le bodega dishes using all-vegan ingredients \u2014 but the spurious sandwiches and sides wouldn\u2019t fool a dead bodega cat.<\/p>\n

In the name of \u201cbringing the natural world to your neighborhood,\u201d it substitutes palate thrillers such as jackfruit (often compared with chewing gum) and seitan (don\u2019t ask) for meat and cheese.<\/p>\n

Say this for owner\/chef Jeremy Dean\u2019s heretical heroes, which are priced from $8 to $14: the fresh bread from Brooklyn bakery Caputo\u2019s whips the dry, dreary corner-deli article.<\/p>\n

But \u201cplant-based comfort food\u201d ranged from barely tolerable to intolerable. The various elements left so much clinging goop in my mouth that I couldn\u2019t wait to wash it down with Yoo-Hoo, which at least claims \u201cit will always stay fresh.\u201d<\/p>\n

The SEC, or \u201csausage, egg and cheese,\u201d was as nasty on the tongue as its scary orange-yellow hues were on the eyes.<\/p>\n

The chopped cheese number, \u201cour best seller\u201d Dean said, was made with \u201cimpossible \u2018ground beef.\u2019 \u201d I had no idea what it was, but it mingled well with equally mysterious \u201ccheese\u201d sauce, egg-free \u201cveganaise\u201d and lettuce and tomato. Its mushy-here, crunchy-there mouthfeel evoked genuine 1 a.m. bodega desperation.<\/p>\n

The griddle-pressed mock-Cuban posed no threat to the luscious proletarian staple served at Margon on West 46th Street. Forget flavor separation. Crunchy pickles and pungent mustard fooled me at first, but then the mustard totally took over and blurred braised jackfruit and non-dairy \u201cprovolone cheese.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vodega\u2019s take on Philly cheesesteak brought up the rear. The real kind sold at my neighborhood Market Deli on First Avenue at East 74th Street boasts flavorful beef and a pleasing crackle from shredded iceberg lettuce. Vodega\u2019s gruesome amalgam of wheat-gluten seitan, icky counterfeit cheese sauce and onion, mushrooms and peppers oddly tasted and smelled like soy sauce and had not a hint of textural contrast.<\/p>\n

It also cost $14 versus just $8.50 at my deli.<\/p>\n

Smoked mac & cheese reeked of imitation-smoke liquid. A side of jeweled grains including brown and black rice, quinoa and nuts and dried fruit was moderately refreshing but heirloom tomatoes in a salad were as hard as stones.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still game<\/a>, be advised: there\u2019s no room to sit and eat outside on the narrow street. But there\u2019s a tiny park with picnic tables down the block under the Manhattan Bridge. Trains rumbling overhead might take your mind off the panic in your mouth.<\/p>\n
