What is a Reuben Sandwich?

Actually, Reuben sandwich is a  American deli sandwich typically made with corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian or Thousand Island dressing, all grilled between slices of rye bread.

The parts of a traditional Reuben sandwich are beef stew, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing sandwiched between pieces of rye bread and grilled until the crust of the bread is crunchy and the cheese melts.

The sandwich is named after Reuben Kolakowski, a grocer from Omaha, Nebraska, who is said to have first introduced the sandwich to a local hotel chef.

The origins of the Reuben sandwich are somewhat disputed, with several different cities claiming to have invented it, but it is generally believed to have originated in the early 20th century and to have become popular in the Jewish delis of New York City.

Although the sandwich can be eaten either warm or cold, we like to serve it hot. A delicious grilled sandwich is made when the meat is heated, the cheese melts, and the spicy dressing permeates the sauerkraut.
