Rueben vs. Patty Melt

[BCClone]

Considering this thread was 12 years old, you’d better go to the doctor to check your Reuben boner.

Where is everyone getting their Reuben fix in the DSM area???? I've been on team Reuben for so long but a good Reuben is few and far between it feels. Having to chase the dragon through the countless mediocre Reubens establishments have to offer now has me officially making the switch to team Patty Melt.

The Royal Mile has a pretty solid reuben.

Royal Mile on 4th St is good. I don't care for their fries, though. Dublin Bay in Ames always is very good, as is a side of their brussels sprouts.

Beat me to it,.

Rueben egg rolls at Whiskey River in Ames are the bomb!! I always forget to ask for a side of thousand island with them.

Francies north of the airport for both.

Let's not forget the Monte Cristo...

Now I’m craving a Bennigans monte cristo. They’re so ******* good.

A good Reuben is tough to beat. I find pastrami to be the most sensual of salted cured meats.

Spicy mustard!

I hate Rueben's so not a fair fight for me.

After my last visit there I had a lot of trips to the loo

Had chicken pot pie

Do you like straight rye bread or marbled rye? I like straight rue but most used marbles.

I’ll take a Reuben any day before a patty melt. Unless its done right, the patty melt can get soggy and greasy. For some reason I start getting a craving for Reuben’s each spring and they are super easy to make if you crockpot the corned beef.

Court Avenue Brewery used to have a good reuben. Haven't been there in quite a while though since i don't work downtown any more.

I usually make some at least one of the march madness weekends. Usually use the foreman grill as a panini press of sorts to make them. Might have to try the crockpot next go around

I can't go there and not get the Fish and Chips.

Buy the big old hormel corned beef. Dump in a bunch of chicken broth, a can of beer and then the seasoning that comes with it. Let that thing cook all day and flip it a few times. Once you get the corned beef right, the rest is easy. I'd put my reuben up against any restaurant...the problem is that they're a pain to make and you have to make a crap load of them or all your ingredients will just go to waste.

I was the same way about the Reuben, until I had a pastrami on rye at Juniors. Hot Pastrami… yum!
