FAQ
What is a classic Reuben sandwich made of?
It would taste great with pastrami too, but then it just wouldn’t be a classic reuben! In the end, you can’t go wrong with either of these flavor-packed meats. Reuben sandwiches are typically made with corned beef, sauerkraut, and Russian or Thousand Island dressing and served on marble or regular rye bread.
What is the difference between a Rachel and Reuben sandwich?
That renders a Reuben, which consists of toasted rye bread stuffed with corned beef, a mountain of warm sauerkraut, gooey layers of melted Swiss cheese, and a generous amount of Russian dressing, to be pure sacrilege…or, perhaps I should say, sacrilege that’s purely delicious.
