Proper grilling of thin buttered rye and toasting the kraut will be transformative. BTW mini reubens make nice canapes.

Little fried jalapeno/canned tuna cakes with a lemon aioli on top. Served on a sliver of cracker or bread.

maybe not the chinese dumpling...

Hard boiled eggs can hold all sorts of stuff in a gluten free way. Besides deviled egg, you might fill with lox+onion+caper, a reuben-type filling(broiled or torched), or chinese dumpling meat.

Yes indeed. Lots of ways to get sick...wreck your liver...die from wild mushrooms. If you want to forage for greens and moss like Redzepi,( or Euell Gibbons if anyone remembers him) that's different.

Exactly.

Steingarten talked about doing this prior to being a reviewer for Vogue, as a preparation. I think it in The Man Who Ate Everything. IIRC he never got to liking Greek food.

I think that I've not been violent enough cracking the shells. Seemed plenty aggressive, but the membranes always were intact.

They changed the recipe after my comment.

I got this recipe http://www.saveur.com/article/Kitchen/saveur-100-tea-eggs from Saveur for those stained glass-looking eggs. Clearly one cannot boil 5 eggs in a half cup of soy, so this recipe is a bummer without even trying it. But every other recipe I can google up fails when I try it. At best I get a faintly stained egg after a couple days in the tea/soy/spice fluid. Letting it go a week is no better. So does anyone know the trick?

Arby's reuben has all the components, but is a shadow of a proper reuben. It will make you sad.

Corned brisket or round? I hate the toughness of brisket in an otherwise tender sandwich and do my reuben with corned top round which slices deli-thin using a knife.

We have a little coffee and pastry joint near my office that makes beautiful reubens on pannini grills. Not too stuffed with meat and everything in the right proportion. They come out like a properly grilled reuben.

In the Pizza Belt (NYC to South of Philly) one can still find a righteous Reuben at real delis and some diners. But typically you have to tell the server that you want the kraut drained and toasted prior to being put on the sandwich...and have the bread buttered prior to being grilled... and have the meat truly thin-sliced. I'm such a Reuben snot that those instructions have become more than I can bear and I only order the thing at a trusted establishment or make my own. Which is what I mostly do...with homemade corned beef that is sliced thin and is super tender and Russian dressing that has a touch of worcestershire and no relish. If I weren't in a hotel I'd make one right now.

Smoked chicken or turkey, a portion shredded but most diced. Chipotle powder to taste ( for this I prefer just a bit in the background), quartered purple grapes, diced cooked bacon, and crumbled candied pecans with just enough mayo.

If the oven is tiny and crappy you might consider a Breville Smart Oven. About $250 and pretty darn sweet. There are cheaper models too.

You might want to put some bricks or a pizza stone in there to retain heat.

Smoked and sous vided turkey salad with Bacon, candied pecan crumbles and quartered grapes with a touch of chipotle. Really nice bunch of flavors and textures in each bite.

Same experience at Lidia in Pittsburgh. Twice the meat was way way too salty to enjoy. And I love salt. But Lidia is a mess on many levels. She should pack her knives and go.

There's also more than one pyrex IIRC. Old pyrex is tougher than new pyrex I think I remember reading.

For those outside the range of Mex chorizo...it is very different from the Spanish. Lots of chile and garlic in a loose sausage. Generally strong flavored it overwhelms subtle food, but compliments sweet stuff like corn. I love it in a quesadilla.

Stress reveals character, doesn't it? The industry watches and I don't think any of the bitch-chefs have been made more employable by this show. By contrast, Grayson looks both able and decent. There is justice in that.
