Make-up Reuben Night

[Jared]: A couple weeks ago, on St. Patrick's Day, we decided to celebrate by heading to one of our favorite San Diego eateries, The Linkery. This particular restaurant is heavily farm-driven, relying on local farmers, artisans, and brewers in their cuisine. They cure their own meats and make their own sausage (hence the "linkery"). They also have an impressive craft beer list including a few cask-conditioned ales. For St. Patrick's Day, they have a tradition of serving some delicious Irish beers alongside house made Reubens. As the Reubens are legendary, we decided to make the trip down to check them out only to find out that they were sold out... at 6:30pm. Obviously we were none-too-pleased, but we had a ridiculously delicious meal none-the-less.

During dinner, one of my co-workers - who had tipped us off to the magical Reubens - emailed the owner of the restaurant expressing disappointment that they ran out so quickly. The next thing we knew, a St. Patty's Day Do-Over had been planned. Beth and I headed down tonight to finally get our fill.

I am pleased to report: the sandwich totally and completely lived up to the hype. House cured/corned, grassfed brisket, house made Russian dressing, house cured sauerkraut (yes Belleville, I ate sauerkraut), Winchester Gouda cheese, on house baked beer bread. Delicious.
