| - After seeing a picture somewhere of the reuben from Bedder, Bedder, & Moore (Charlotte Agenda maybe?), a discussion began between a friend and me about our love for reubens. Further questions led to discussion about what the best reuben in Charlotte was, and thus A Reuben Adventure was born (both our names start with A).
I was excited to try the reuben that sparked the adventure and has led me to try about 30 reubens around the city. I wouldn't say the reuben is the best in the city, but it is in the upper third of the many I've tried.
The reuben is fairly classic - decent corned beef, covered in swiss, proper amount of kraut and russian to top it off, and of course surrounded by rye. The corned beef had good flavor, and the heaping of swiss added plenty of flavor. Although the bread was advertised, it was just standard marbled rye. My biggest qualm was with the kraut - it was a bit stringy in texture, something I have since realized is likely because it was tossed on the griddle and dried out (this has happened at numerous other places I've tried). The stringy texture clashes with the rest of the sandwich and takes it down a notch. Overall I was still happy with my selection and would recommend anyone stopping in to give the reuben a try.
