Sandwich

This weekend, I went to Buffalo to celebrate Tom's birthday. This afternoon we stopped for lunch at a lovely little restaurant that was soaked in almost as much grease as the food we consumed. Having never tried a reuben sandwich, I decided that I would try one here. After waiting about two to three hours for the food to arrive I took a bite out of my sandwich to find that the restaurant had not served me the sandwich made famous by Reuben Kulakofsky, but instead, they served me the Ramsey sandwich.

The Ramsey sandwich recipe is very similar to the Reuben, but a little bit cheaper and quicker to prepare.

Ingredients: drained sauerkraut, chopped sweet onion, chopped parsley, creamy Thousand Island dressing, submarine sandwich bread

• combine the sauerkraut, onion, and parsley
• spread Thousand Island dressing on sub roll
  
• pile sauerkraut mixture on one slice
• add second slice of bread
• grill in butter

You'll notice that the sandwich has one key ingredient missing from the Reuben: corn beef.

I wasn't in the mood for a Ramsey sandwich of sourkraut and salad dressing so I sent it back for the addition of meat. It still was not very good, but I blame the restaurant.
