The history of the Reuben is as unique and intriguing as the sandwich itself. Supposedly created in the backroom of the Blackstone Hotel in my hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, the Reuben is a staple on menus across the country. From delis in New York City to bars in Los Angeles, the Reuben has earned its spot on the list of iconic, classic sandwiches.
While restaurants in New York City and elsewhere continue to dispute the origin of the Reuben, one thing isn't up for debate: the sandwich is delicious. Salty corned beef, smothered in Russian dressing, steaming sauerkraut, swiss cheese, and pressed together by two pieces of rye bread, the Reuben is one of my favorites. What's not to love? It's a combination of bold, savory flavors, sure to please even the most skeptical of food critics.
Now, if you've never heard of the Reuben, or if you live in a small town without a restaurant that serves the sandwich, don't worry. You can make it yourself. It's easy! Simply buy a slab of corned beef, cook it slowly, slice it into thin strips, or shred it; whichever method you prefer. Next, toast the rye bread, spread on the Russian dressing, add swiss cheese, a slice of swiss, and a heap of corned beef. Squeeze all of this together between the two slices of bread and there you go! You've made a Reuben.
