Rose's offers an assortment of Reuben deli style sandwiches that weigh almost a pound each.
The Original Reuben comprises sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing, turkey, cheese, and corned beef, the ingredients written in order reflecting the prominence of flavors. A Reuben should be prominent in corned beef flavor but this one was heavily masked. The assembler scooped over the top amount of sauerkraut that I scrapped off as it was too tart overpoweringly tart. After scraping off the kraut, the next flavor that came to surface was the turkey with a dispiriting soggy wetness. Yes, the turkey was more prominent that the corned beef. I had to take a bite of corned beef alone to get a sense of its flavor. Mild, insipid.
The Reuben bordered on Man vs. Food proportion, cut into three sections. Get it if you're after volume. If you're a Reuben freak, look elsewhere.
