Classic Reuben on Pumpernickel

Cultural Context

The Reuben sandwich is believed to have originated in the early 20th century in New York City, often attributed to a Jewish deli. It combines flavors of Eastern European Jewish cuisine with American culinary traditions, making it a beloved comfort food. Today, variations abound, with some opting for different breads or proteins, and its popularity has spread beyond the U.S. to become a staple in delis worldwide.
