JBelle: A Kingdom For A Good Reuben

JBelle: The Grub Club has taken on a momentum of its own and practically writes itself after the first day! Because it's working so well, I propose a change up out of the first inning. ;) Since we stumbled upon a tasty bone in the form of the Reuben sandwich discussion, I think we should all go about our business sampling the Reuben of our choice, making notes of what makes it so fabulous, or not I suppose, and meet back here in two weeks to compare opinions. Then we can all scurry back out to everyone else's Reuben-Venus, Reuben-Adonis to be absolutely sure we've got it right. A Reuben off! Also, a consensus might arise, giving an area eatery bragging rights on the Best Reuben of the Huckleberry World. Of course, we can then go back to our regularly scheduled analysis and audit of eating and cooking practices here in the INW.

Question: I'm a bit reluctant to veer off at the start of the Grub Club to focus on Reubens (although I like JBelle's idea. A. Lot. to locate the best Reuben in town). Until we get there, can someone tell me which restaurants make a passable Reuben?
