Part 2/7:
Mike starts by introducing his plan: to prepare Reuben on rye, a beloved sandwich known for its rich flavors and hearty ingredients. He emphasizes the importance of ingredients like sauerkraut and Swiss cheese, noting that if you dislike sauerkraut, you likely won't enjoy a traditional Reuben—suggesting that in that case, a regular corned beef sandwich might be more suitable.
He mentions juggling multiple skillets and explains that he's making two sandwiches, because "a man eats two sandwiches," showing his playful personality. His approach is straightforward: cooking the corned beef in one skillet, draining and warming sauerkraut in another, and assembling the sandwich with melted Swiss cheese and toasted marble rye bread.
