Reuben Sandwich @ Wayfare
Wayfare is on the downtown end of the Freret Street food neighborhood, with its many classy but simple eateries. Although its menu is wide-ranging, particularly in its appetizer department, Wayfare's main specialty is sandwiches. Its Reuben sandwich is particularly good. When I asked them to make the sandwich with the the cheese right up against the inside face of the bread--this to prevent the steam from the sauerkraut and corned beef from turning the bread to mush--the waiter says that the the sandwich comes from a grill press, thereby avoiding the problem. He was right. Although it isn't piled high the way a deli sandwich would be, there is still too much to finish. It almost goes without saying that the corned beef is intrinsically delicious.
