chop,

Are you sure you didn't accidentally list those in reverse order?

As a lol cheesesteak voter I def would have gone pastrami over cheesesteak. Cheesesteak and Reuben are both bottom 50% sandwiches

I'm actually ashamed I even voted in a fake cheese vs ketchup and mayo poll

I voted cheese steak but it's not like I felt good about it. It's a shame how the end result is two safe and uninspired sandwiches.

I voted against reuben more than I voted for cheese steak. I'm not even inspired to troll the reuben. If people enjoy putting bird regurgitate on their sandwich, I'll accept that fact.

Dave,

Cheesesteak is a far safer and less inspired choice than Reuben.

I think my favorite part of this whole bracket thing has been how MAD certain reuben-hating OOTiots have gotten.

Reuben lovers,

Don’t celebrate too soon. It’s 50-42 now, still any sandwich’s game!

I would eat a Reuben without sour kraut any day of the week over cheese steak. I'd also want to swap out the Swiss for provolone, thousand island for mayo, and even take out the Rye bread because that stuff is just gross.

While I agree that Reuben is more inspired, the only component I enjoy is the corned beef (which is only good if done right). Reuben is, unfortunately, among my least favorite sandwiches in this entire contest.

the best way to modify a high quality reuben is to take out the cheese, kraut and sauce and add mustard

That's no longer a Reuben though. A Reuben isn't an ambiguous entity like a Dagwood.

i was just continuing with your non-reuben theme. your sandwich with thousand island wasn't even a reuben to begin with

Fake cheese against fake beef. It might just be a sign of our times that these are the candidates that rose to the top. I have no other option but to sit this one out and hope for a brighter future where real sandwiches with real content have a chance to get elected.

145-ish people voted in the last poll. We are currently up to 95 people in the current one.

This group of 50 holdouts can easily sway this vote either way.

When I go to an Irish place for lunch I'm ordering a Reuben a majority of the time. I just kinda assumed that everyone did that.

Yes it is.... I think this might be regional though.

A bit of proof (scroll past the Mexican food):

or:

Thousand Island dressing is commonly used as a substitute for Russian dressing.[citation needed]

TIL there are apparently many people who associate Reubens with "Irish" pubs? Like for real, this is a thing? How does that even make sense?

I would never go to an "Irish" pub for a Reuben. I would never order a Reuben in an "Irish" pub.

Corned beef is pretty Irish imo

Reuben is more Irish than Jewish.

What an argument.

Glad we didn't have a pig-ear sandwich in the poll.

I’m with you. Never ordered or thought to order a Reuben at an Irish pub. Had corned beef and cabbage at an Irish pub many times. No idea anyone associated Reubens with Irish pubs.
