VISIT OMAHA AND TASTE THE ORIGINAL REUBEN SANDWICH, AN AMERICAN CLASSIC THAT WAS BORN AND BREAD RIGHT HERE
It’s a well-known fact that the Reuben was invented in Omaha back in the early 1900s. We don’t care what New Yorkers say, this is our story and we’re sticking to it. During a late-night poker game at the Blackstone Hotel, a local grocer was asked to “ante up” and create a new dish. The ingredients he had on hand resulted in an American menu staple. How do you create a national treasure? You start with two pieces of grilled marble rye and stuff them with slow cooked corned beef topped with sauerkraut, bubbly Swiss cheese, and creamy Russian or Thousand Island dressing. Omaha continues to perfect the classic while local restaurants add their own unique spin.
