When I was 14 i flew to california to visit my grandmothers place in sacremento. Down the street there was an ice cream shop/diner called Vic's my grandmother would take me there every few days and I'd get their reuben. I don't know what it was specifically about that reuben but I still think about it.

It was pretty heavy on the swiss cheese and there was a significant amount of beef. The saltiness from the cheese and beef mixed with the sour and slightly sweet of the thousand island and sauerkraut so perfectly and I had a chocolate milkshake and some ruffles too. The sandwich had been pressed and pan fried in butter too so it had a really nice crisp to it
