I like a good Reuben sandwich as much as the next guy but Mary (the light of my life) has a passion for them.

She first discovered them while in college in upstate New York and almost always orders one when they are on the menu of any restaurant that doesn’t look like they get their deli meats out of pre-sliced plastic packs.

So, today while we were looking for a late lunch and a brew, we went to the Smokey Mountain Brewery in Knoxville at the Turkey Creek Shopping center. They have a “Big City Reuben” on their menu for $10.00 and it reminds me of those I had in my New Jersey “Univac” school days.

The local beers were excellent too. If you like a good sandwich and micro brews, give this place a shot.  We’ll go back whenever Mary gets a hankering for her favorite sandwich.
