Best Place to get a Reuben sandwich

What do some people think of a Reuben sandwich? About the Crescent Moon? Where can we find the best sandwich around here these days?

I like a Reuben. I mostly make them myself. I made a corned beef brisket this week and I'm mainly using it to make Reubens. I think Crescent Moon's Reuben is very tastey, but I honestly haven't had one from somewhere else, no need as I saw no room for improvement.

I do not like Reuben sandwiches, so I cannot participate in the poll.

Best Reuben I've had was at Crescent Moon. Worst was at Upstream.

The Reuben sandwich: A Nebraska original

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - Our state is the birthplace of the Reuben. In this story, we discover that it was invented at a hotel in Omaha, and you can still enjoy that hotel today.

It turns out the Blackstone Hotel, which is now the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel, is the birthplace of the Reuben sandwich. “This poker table we are sitting at has a connection to it,” Shern said, “The Reuben originates on the 8th floor of this hotel. Mr. Schimmel was having a poker match with a group of business people would often get together. They would call each other and say ‘The Committee is getting together.’ They nick-named themselves The Committee, which is why our steakhouse pays homage to that. At one of these poker matches, they were hungry. One of the attendees, Reuben Kulakofsky, had some fresh barrels of sauerkraut. Mr. Schimmel asked the hotel chef, who was also his brother, to go down, get some fresh sauerkraut and corned beef, and make him a sandwich.” That’s when the Reuben was born. “They loved it,” Shern said, “The group convinced Mr. Schimmel to put it on the menu at his coffee shop. He then put it on the menu at his other three hotels. In 1956, it was voted the National Restaurant Association’s sandwich of the year. Then, the recipe was published, and that’s how it just took off.”
