Siebert's Pub in Salem is Kenosha.com's recipient of the best overall Reuben in Kenosha.PHOTOS: JEFFREY ZAMPANTI
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day (March 17), Kenosha.com embarked on a countywide tour to uncover Kenosha’s best Reuben sandwich.
Not only did we discover the best Reuben, but also one of the finest sandwiches in Kenosha County.
Slow-cooked, pulled corned beef topped with sauerkraut, Thousand Island, baby swiss and served on Kenosha’s own Paielli’s marble rye, Siebert’s Pub perfected the Reuben sandwich.
Kenosha.com food columnist Riki Tagliapietra calls the Reuben at Siebert’s an “incredible experience” describing the slow-roasted brisket as “incredibly savory and surprisingly lean despite its melt-in-your-mouth texture.”
It remains the most popular item on the menu at Siebert’s, owned by Mike and Jenn Siudak.
“It’s top secret.”
– Ty Siudak on the recipe for the notorious Reuben at Siebert’s Pub
“We slow cook it for at least 12 hours until it’s nice and juicy,” said Ty Siudak, who operates Siebert’s Pub. “You have to make sure you cook it just right.”
The recipe has been passed along by numerous owners of the bar-restaurant. Those interested in finding it, however, will need more than luck of the Irish.
“It’s top secret,” Ty Siudak said.
While Siebert’s emerged as a clear champion for the Irish-American sammie, there is a surprising number of local restaurants serving fabulous reubens.
