Lunch at a Pub...THE Reuben

Last night, Friday, Mark and I were both craving Reubens, so we decided to look into where we could find a really good Reuben.  Looking at the Urbanspoon website the reviews said that Crescent Moon is the best place to get a Reuben, due to its closeness to Blackstone Hotel, where it is supposed to have originated...

So the story of the Reuben goes something like this: A group of guys got together to play poker, and while playing they would discuss sandwiches.  They came up with the Reuben, which is Corned Beef, of which Nebraska is a major producer, on Marbled Rye with Sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, Thousand Island Dressing, and a side of YUM!   Does it look like we enjoyed it?  We did!  Not to mention my Chili Cheese Fries were to die for and Mark's Fried Green Pepper Rings were amazing!

Looks Good, doesn't it?

So if you like Reubens, and are ever in Nebraska, stop by Crescent Moon and have one.  Warning: If you go on a Husker game day, be prepared to refuse a bunch of Husker shots!  Every time the Huskers score, they give a free round of red shots to everyone.  We were only there for 2 touchdowns, so we only had to refuse it twice.

Then to finish off our date night, we went to Jones Bros. Cupcakes, which was recommended to us by a friend.  They were so good!  We asked the guy which ones to get, but he only made it worse.  He proceeded to describe all of the different cupcakes, making the choice only that much harder to make.  So we decided to get three, and share half of each one.  We got the Husker Red Velvet, which is their signature and our favorite, the Chocolate Raspberry, our second, and the White and Black which had Godiva chocolate in it, which was our least favorite, but still delicious!  We also got hot chocolate which was super yummy!  All in all, a yummy night!
