What Is a Reuben Sandwich?
“What is a Reuben sandwich?” you might ask. Corned beef, dark rye bread, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, with Russian dressing - grilled. According to Wikipedia, our national love affair with Reuben sandwiches has been going on since the 1920s, though the origin is disputed.

8 slices rye bread
8 slices Swiss cheese
