Ruben Sandwich
The Ruben Sandwich is a popular American sandwich composed of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing, grilled between slices of rye bread. Named after its alleged inventor, Reuben Kulakofsky, it has become a staple in American delis and sandwich shops.
History[edit | edit source]
The Ruben Sandwich is believed to have been created in the early 20th century by Reuben Kulakofsky, a Lithuanian Jewish grocer from Omaha, Nebraska. However, some sources attribute the sandwich's invention to Arnold Reuben, the German owner of the now-defunct Reuben's Delicatessen in New York City.
Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]
The primary ingredients of a Ruben Sandwich are corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing. These are layered between two slices of rye bread and then grilled until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted. Variations of the sandwich may substitute pastrami for the corned beef or coleslaw for the sauerkraut.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
The Ruben Sandwich has become a symbol of American deli cuisine and has been featured in numerous films, television shows, and books. It is also a popular choice in sandwich-making competitions, including the annual National Sandwich Day.
