This is what my loving husband gets for leaving me all alone. Again.
It was pretty much fate that dictated that I make this sandwich. First, Ross calls me a couple weeks ago and raves about this Reuben Hot Dog he saw at the cafeteria at work. And I totally forgot about it. BUT!! Then a week ago I see Adam Gertler on The Best Thing I Ever Ate raving about his awesome Reuben Dog. Then I promised Ross that I’d find a way to make him a Paleo Reuben Dog if he didn’t leave me (again) to go back to Boston. Then he left. Jerk.
Some wives whine. Some wives cry. THIS wife gets her revenge via Reuben Dog that she will NEVER, EVER share with her husband. He’s jealous, and I like it that way. Not sorry. OK, well I whined and cried, too. A lot.
I AM sorry about the quality of the photos. I tried SO HARD to convey the foodgasmic deliciousness but (aside from my not having a very professional camera) there’s no good way to make a baked sweet potato covered in Reuben Dog Goodness look sexy. Just PLEASE trust me!

Just made these today (for breakfast even). Awesome, awesome, awesome! Really heavy meal though. I ended up skipping lunch, which was not a bad thing at all. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks! I sincerely doubt there’s a better way to start the day…
