History of the Reuben Sandwich and How It was Named

# data[].attributes.body
There are several accounts of how the Reuben Sandwich was first invented.  Although none of the accounts can be verified completely, the earliest account dates back to 1914.  Patricia B. Taylor, who is the daughter of Arnold Reuben, the founder of Reubens Restaurant and Delicatessen, believes her father made the first Reuben Sandwich in 1914. When sharing her story with Craig Claiborne the New York Times she told him that the leading lady of actor Charlie Champlain came into the restaurant and said, "Reuben, make me a sandwich, make it a combination, I'm so hungry I could eat a brick." Arnold Reuben proceeded to cut two slices from his loaf of rye bread and stack with Virginia ham, roast turkey, and imported Swiss cheese. He topped it off with coleslaw and Reuben's special Russian dressing. She claimed it was the best sandwich she ever had and told him he should call it an Annette Seelos Special. Reuben replied, "Like hell, I'll call it a Reuben Special."
