The Reuben Sandwich

B&J had a sign up about their perfect Reuben's. I like Reuben's and so do many people. Interestingly, it is a quintessentially American invention although the exact inventor is in dispute. Reuben Kulakofsky of Omaha Nebraska is said by most to be the inventor. Others say Arthur Reuben, of Reuben's restuarant in New York, was the inventor. Interestingly, it is not kosher to mix meat with dairy, nonetheless, both names appear to be Jewish.

I had to find an excuse to put DAIRY in here in order to confuse Lynnis' alleged dyslexia confusion with DIARY. In any event, both alleged inventors are Americans and the invention has spread worldwide to great acclaim. I like mine on rye, not pumpernickel.
