On Reuben sandwiches "I grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., and going to the deli was a frequent excursion. That's how I fell in love with Reubens. There is something about the taste of the ingredients when it's served hot and gooey with a kosher dill pickle that I find very enjoyable."

Occupation Financial Advisor with UBS Financial Services
Nominated My mother's Reuben
On Reuben sandwiches "My mom didn't love cooking, but was a genius with sandwiches. Being from an Irish family, the Reuben was the pinnacle of all sandwiches. A Reuben needs the right ratio of ingredients: crispy bread, corned beef (never too dry), Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and thousand island dressing and should be a little messy. My heart would skip a beat when I saw extra napkins on the dinner table, that meant it was Reuben night."
