Reuben or Patty?
After careful consideration and an exhausting and near-endless pilgrimage, I am sorry to announce that I will no longer be eating Reubens. I've searched high and low for a decent one and have concluded that they are not to be had in my little corner of the world.
I will now embrace the patty melt! What's your preference? Reuben or Patty? Explain.

What's a patty melt? Sounds like a cheeseburger.

Yes Glatt its a cheese burger , but better yet its like a grilled cheese sando with caramelized onion , and a Thinnish burger patty , some times a Schmear of mustard , some folkes make them on Rye bread , I prefer Texas Toast , Oh and the cheese can make a Big difference , I prefer SHARP Cheddar. Slurp some soup , dip the sando , YUMMMMMMY !!!

Make your own reuben! Homemade are the best. I make mine with rye bread buttered and toasted on the grill layered with corned beef white cheese and strained sauerkraut ,all melted to perfection with a fresh crunchy Claussen pickle on the side.
Patty melts are good too though.I like mine with lean turkey smothered in caramelized onions and mushrooms. |

Penn Station reubens aren't half bad. Not authentic, but still worth a nom.

I make my own reubens, too. I use Swiss cheese and dark rye bread. There's also a New York style deli here in town that makes pretty good reubens.

Patty Melt, never really liked the Reuben, not much of a sauerkraut fan.
Frankly, though, the Patty Melt comes off as a little effete. Go for the Bacon Cheeseburger, Double if they got 'em.

No sauerkraut, no reuben. Without the piquancy of the kraut, it's a corned beef sandwich and only a corned beef sandwich.
A history of the sandwich So Brianna, why don't the local offerings, er, stack up?

I like both, but most restaurants can't get a Reuben right. I like my patty melt with extra done onions and med-well patty...american cheese, please (I know it is all just as disgusting as you can get!)
