All About Sub Sandwiches
Who knew that deli greatness would be made
It was the early 20th century. A popular businessman mixed swiss cheese, sauerkraut, corned beef, and Russian dressing over rye. Little did he know that this mix of sweet, salty, meaty, and tangy would be a sensation that persists well beyond the early 20th century and well beyond traditional inner city delis. Of course there is a dispute who the actual creator was. There seems to be more than one “Reuben” mentioned.
- One article says the inventor was Arnold Reuben in New York City
- Another says it was a man named Reuben Kay
- Yet another says the man they called Reuben Kay was actually a man named Reuben Kulakofsky In Omaha, Nebraska
- Another said a hotel owner named Schimmel helped Reuben Kay..or was that Kulakofsky create the sandwich with a few ingredient additions
- A more far fetched story says a New York account named Richard Hammerly invented the sandwich and named it after Arnold Reuben
And I am sure there is more to this deli restaurant saga. Here is what I can piece together from these facts. A person, most likely with some connection to a “Reuben” named person put part of the ingredients of this sandwich together. A few additions were made somewhere creating the modern version of this sandwich. Personally I don’t care. Here is what I think happened.
Mankind Was Gifted With One Of The Great Deli Sandwiches Of Our Time
The combination is magical and I think the most important part of the story is execution. Just because you invented it is nice, but can you make it to perfection. And I mean mouth watering over the top bursting with flavor culinary perfection.
