You Can Find The Best Reuben Sandwich In Eastern Iowa

This time of year, my stomach craves one thing: a Reuben sandwich. That's because St. Patrick's Day is basically here.

Sure, some of us crave corned beef in other ways. Whether it's on marble rye bread in the form of a Reuben sandwich, paired with cabbage or hash, a lot of corned beef will be consumed thanks to the holiday.

Since Reuben sandwiches are a popular dish around this time, we've created a list to help satisfy your Irish cravings and find the best Reuben sandwiches in the area.

How Irish is the Reuben Sandwich?

According to cookingwithcocktailrings.com, the Reuben sandwich isn't as Irish as you think it is. The sandwich was thought to be created in Omaha, Nebraska mid-poker game. But the corned beef has some Irish roots, kind of.

The Irish-corned beef relationship is considered to be much more Irish-American than it is purely Irish.

Either way, we'll happily fill our tummies with a delicious Reuben made in the Quad Cities to celebrate the patron saint of Ireland.
