Don’t you think a Reuban Sandwich should be Irish?!
The Reuben was actually invented by a German immigrant Arnold Reuben, who sold the sandwiches at his deli in New York City. I like to make a hot Reuben Sandwich with the leftovers from enjoying our annual St. Patties Day Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner. YUM!
