About this episode

In this episode, Collin Sugg discusses the history of the Reuben sandwich and his experiences in Nebraska.

Where was the iconic Reuben sandwich invented? What can you find at the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia in Lincoln, Nebraska? Are there any museums worth visiting in Nebraska? In the second part of my conversation with Collin about Nebraska, Collin dives into the history of the iconic corned beef and Swiss cheese sandwich invented in Nebraska, the Reuben sandwich. While in Nebraska, he ate lunch in a café housed in a former firehouse station, toured the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia, watched a musical chronicling the life of Tina Turner, and attended a play where his sister designed the costumes.
