My first job in New York City (back in 1997) was nearly kitty-corner to Reuben’s Restaurant on Madison Avenue. So I feel confident when I say, I know from a Reuben sandwich… And as cousin Marty remarked to me last night, I come from a long line of fressers…

Yesterday, I couldn’t resist a Reuben at the wonderful Kenny and Ziggy’s Deli in Houston. I love this place. It’s as good as New York (and sometimes better!).

Usually, I get the white fish salad appetizer but yesterday I was in the mood for something a little more substantial (how’s that for understatement?).

I do wish Ziggy wouldn’t pile so much meat on the sandwich (I removed about half of what you see in the photo). But, man, was it good…

There’s lots more to tell about good stuff (amazing, really) that we ate and drank while in Houston but Tracie P are about to say goodbye to cousins Joanne and Marty and make our way over to Brenham, Texas where we’re attending a dinner for 200 persons on the Jolie Vue farm.

Stay tuned…
