I'm not an expert, but have you tried Toojays Deli or McAlister's Deli. Google their names...their Reuben's look great.

Although the Reuben sandwich at the Pine Street Pub in Inverness is not absolutely, traditionally correct, it is delicious. So are their other sandwiches. My buddy said that his BLT was the best that he'd ever had.

"Reuben - $9.50 - House made, shredded corned beef piled high on a marble rye Hoagie, topped with four slices of Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing."

Shredded corned beef and on a hoagie or sub roll?
Somewhere a Jewish deli owner is turning in his grave!

The corned beef must be sliced from a flat cut brisket.
It must be served on rye bread.
It is so written.

There was a real deli in NYC called Reuben's-it was the home of the REUBEN--NO sandwich & I mean NO sandwich here comes close --must have real corned beef cut as stated above, real sauerkraut, Russian dressing, or Thousand Island and most important good rye bread

I love a Reuben Sandwich and I think McAlister's is better then Toojay's and to my surprise I had one at Mallory the other day and it was very good and reasonably priced.

My best local Rubin was at BONIFAY COUNTRY CLUB.....been a while since we've been there so I don't know if it built the same but you may want to give it a try...let us know... basic requirement is to grill the butted rye, not toast the bread like some do.

Does Fresh Market sell corned beef? in the deli or otherwise for home cooking? Coming up with pastrami that looks and tastes like what I had as a kid might be much more difficult

Yeah it's impossible to get good Pastrami in this country anymore. Corned Beef is easy.

I like that part in the Redford film "Quiz Show" when the Northern Exposure actor talks about the origins of the Reuben......
