Ruebenbauers

Ruebenbauers, also known as Reuben sandwiches, are a type of sandwich that originated in the United States. The sandwich is named after Reuben Krug, an owner of a delicatessen in New York City. The classic Ruebenbauer consists of corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing on rye bread. The sandwich is typically cut in half and served with a side of potato chips or fries.

The Ruebenbauer was first introduced in 1914 at Krug's delicatessen, which was located at 119 West 57th Street in Manhattan. The sandwich quickly became popular among customers and has since become a staple of American cuisine. Today, Ruebenbauers can be found in many restaurants and delis across the United States, as well as in other countries.

The ingredients of a Ruebenbauer can vary depending on the region and the specific deli. Some variations include adding a layer of Thousand Island dressing or mustard, or substituting the corned beef with pastrami or turkey. Despite these variations, the classic Ruebenbauer remains a beloved dish for many food enthusiasts.
