"Back Porch" sandwich worth eating

[mugsy]

Ate lunch after Church at a place in Lawton called The Back Porch which, in the past, has not impressed me. However, the menu was a little different today and I ordered the Okie-Reuben. It is chopped corned beef, swiss cheese, mustard, and a really tasty mix of sauerkraut and jalapenos all served on a marbled rye/pumpernickel bread. The sandwich is surprisingly good. Most Reuebn variants disappoint but this is one that I think is arguably an improvement. If you eat at TBP in Lawton (or their other locations) I suggest you give it a try if you like Reuben sandwiches. We may have to try giving The Back Porch another try as a Fat Guy lunch venue.

That is all.

Can't handle the kraut. My grandparents made that stuff in the crawl space of their house in a stone croc. The house reeked of it.
If we order sandwiches out, wife always gets the ruben.

I love American (ok, well German) Kimchi

When arriving in Korea, the smell of Kimchi permeated the air. I think every home had huge stone crocs on their roofs with it in different stages of fermentation. Never could get past the smell.

I like Kimchi Chigae (excuse my transliteration) or Kimchi Stew. It is an acquired taste however.

I don't do kraut either. Remember my stepdad trying to make some in Arkansas in a 5 gal croc.

I love a good reuben ... a GOOD reuben. I don't know who came up with putting Thousand Island dressing on them, but that is NOT a reuben. Mustard or nothing ... preferably spicy brown mustard!

My wife and I recently ate at their new place, Salt Water Grill, on west Cache. Can't remember at the moment what each of us had, but the food and service were both good.

I'm half Czech, my great grand parents spoke broken English, and always had kraut on hand and the next batch in the works. I could live off the stuff still to this day. Nothing like a sandwich made with rye bread, brisket or pulled pork, kraut heated to boiling with a splash of garlic powder stirred in, onion and green pepper sliced paper thin. Pork roast, knedlik and kraut makes a good meal too.

You're making me hungry. Never heard of knedlik ... had to look it up ... sounds wonderful!
