TERRIFIC TASTINGS
Ritual Reubens (build-your-own-sandwich)
Sunday, March 14, 2021

Since Zingerman's (one of the US’s most famous delis) first
opened their doors in 1982, their most popular sandwich
has been the Reuben. People line up around the block for
the massive sandwich, which has been lauded as one of the
best sandwiches available anywhere. Let us deliver a kit of
goodies to your doorstep, then join culinary host James
Sokol and a special guest on Zoom for a journey “back to
the days” of an almost ritual lunch at the local Jewish deli.
Since this is a "build-your-own-sandwich" event, feel free to
add or leave-off whatever ingredients or amounts you like;
make it to your taste!
