Reuben me the right way


In all honesty, I'm not a sandwich person. If I'm at home I'll heat up a hot dog before I make myself a sanduĂ­che. Although, there is one exception to this rule, my ever-loving Reuben.

There is much debate where this masterpiece of rye, corned beef, Swiss, Thousand Island dressing, and sauerkraut originated, but I do know it's one sandwich not to be messed with. And besides, it's a perfect blend of Irish (corned beef) and German (sauerkraut) just like me!

Saint Louis has is richly diverse in both Irish and German heritage and delivers a plethora of delicious Reuben sandwiches, however only two stand above the rest.

Pumpernickel's Deli and McGurk's Irish Pub.

Pumpernickel's offers one of the largest Reuben's I have ever eaten and I always order a half. It it grilled to perfection and is messy with 1000 Island dressing...It's a five napkin minimum sandwich.


Our Reuben: The Real Thing! Corned beef, kraut, Swiss, 1000 island, on rye
......................8.25......... 11.25


McGurk's Irish Pub is an easier eating version of the sandwich, but does not
lack in taste. The Reuben here is a destination in itself.


Steamship-style corned beef, sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing, Swiss on toasted rye. $7.95
