Don’t you think a Reuban Sandwich should be Irish?!What with the corned beef, sauerkraut, and rye bread… it’s screaming Ireland to me but, it’s not. I know.

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!
