What to Order: The Mad Grocer’s Reuben

Jennifer Chandler has been a restaurateur, a cookbook author, a food stylist, a writer and a TV and radio personality.
When it comes to sandwiches, there is not much better than a well-made Reuben.
Made with rye bread, the Reuben is comprised of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing. It’s known for being served in kosher delis, but here’s an interesting twist — a Reuben isn’t kosher because it includes both meat and cheese.
Outside New York, a good Reuben can be hard to find. Many delis attempt to make one but miss the mark.
