The origins of the Reuben sandwich are a mystery. Some claim it started its life in Omaha, Nebraska, for example, when a grocer called Reuben Kulakofsky whipped it up for some local poker players during a late-night game at the Blackstone Hotel in the 1920s.

Others say this sandwich was not invented in Omaha, but in New York, by wealthy restaurateur Arnold Reuben and his family.
