While Tucsonans dedicate their entire lives to finding and defending their choice for the townβs best taco (Taqueria Pico de Gallo, since you asked), Omahans are serious about their Reuben sandwiches. The local lore is that the Reuben was invented right here in Omaha, not New York, by grocer Reuben Kulakofsky. It then rose to fame on the Blackstone Hotel lunch menu. The hotel is no longer, so instead enjoy my personal favorite at Crescent Moon. Β
