Let me just say that the Brooklyn from Canter's might be the best sandwich ever. Corned beef on light rye with a fantastic cole slaw and TI dressing.

Growing up in Philly, where this is called a "corned beef special," I always thought this was a pretty standard sandwich. But it turns out it's pretty regional.

Was it really cole slaw? This is one of my fav sandwiches but here in AZ it's called a Reuben (which I also thought was standard) and is made with sour kraut instead of slaw.

A Reuben (found all over the US) is different from the corned beef special (more local to the mid-Atlantic).

Delis that offer the corned beef special (served cold, by the way) also offer a Reuben (served grilled).

my parents used to own a deli in North Philly...and we had a corned beef special.

Rye bread
russian dressing
cole slaw
corned beef

I don't like cole slaw so I didn't like it much, but it was very popular.

Is the mixed game 3/6? I REALLY REALLY want to play that when I go. Sure, I'd be a giant giant fish, but it'd be fun as hell.
