I am submitting myself to food CRUELTY, writing this post when 3000 miles away from the land of the Reuben Sandwich. Oh, how wonderful that humans have taste memories!
Wikipedia are stumped as to who actually first threw together some deli ingredients to concoct this sandwich. Who cares? All I know is they do it vegan and New Frontiers Natural Marketplace managed to stoke a fire that Flore in Silverlake failed to.
This experience will cost me far more than the $6.99 for their masterpiece, as I will now have to go all the way to Chicago and visit the 'famed' Chicago Diner. Bummer. Anyway Stephen, the very tall server at the food counter was impressively clued up on his food. He threw down two inflatable guide tubes on the bowling alley on my decisions (metaphorically speaking...ok..long metaphor, too long!) Everyone loves the Red Rock Reuben he said with confidence. Five minutes to whip it up, it came. As you can see I had to eat some straight away. I am a Gemini and a foodie, patience is a trophy when won.
Somehow the flavours of the sauerkraut, thousand island dressing, fine caramelised onions and Seitan stood alone but united. What a concept! The tub of veganaise took it up a notch higher. It had 100% mouth appeal. Oozy, crispy, slightly tart and then deliously creamy. Oh my....I am almost calling the airlines now. Get me a Reuben!
