AROUND THE WORLD IN 100 SANDWICHES

 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about

Reuben Sandwich

Classic Beef Reuben Sandwich


A good reuben should be loaded—and we can assure you that this one is! Make your own Russian dressing or buy shop-bought, but just make sure to use a liberal amount! It acts like the perfect 'glue' to adhere this epic sandwich together.

The reuben is truly a classic...and for good reason. The usual components are: corned beef, Swiss, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing—always on rye bread—and it's typically pressed or grilled. The original sandwich is said to have been created back in the early 1900s!
