50 States, 50 Sizzling Dishes: The Ultimate Foodie Road Trip Through The USA
Reuben Sandwiches from Nebraska
Omaha claims the Reuben crown, with a grocer-turned-sandwich-hero named Reuben Kulakofsky supposedly crafting it in 1925. But like a juicy bite of corned beef, the truth is layered. New York rivals the claim, boasting an earlier “Reuben Special” at a delicatessen.
Regardless, the Reuben’s popularity in Nebraska is deeply rooted. It’s more than just a sandwich; it’s a taste of local history, a comforting hug of savory and tangy, and a reminder of late-night poker games and community spirit. Here, this sandwich is so much more than food; it’s a beloved tradition, passed down with every napkin-worthy bite.
